Manetco has developed an innovative methodology that combines scientific expertise, lean methods, and high-precision digital technologies to accelerate laboratory equipment development. This approach fundamentally transforms how chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and materials companies develop their new technologies.
Lean prototyping represents a breakthrough from traditional development methods, enabling significant reduction in iteration cycles and associated costs. Companies can now rapidly validate their concepts before committing substantial investments to production.
## Key Application Areas
### Screening Automation
🔬 **Accelerating High-Throughput Screening Systems**
Automation of screening processes is a major challenge for modern laboratories. High-throughput screening systems require precise and reliable components, developed according to strict specifications. Manetco's lean approach enables rapid prototyping of these robotic systems, reducing development timelines from several months to just a few weeks.
### Digital Technologies for Component Design
🖨️ **3D Printing Revolution in Microfluidics**
High-precision 3D printing is revolutionizing the design of microfluidic components and flow chemistry systems. Manetco uses advanced biocompatible materials like PMMA, PEEK, 316L, Céramic and Hastelloy C22 to create directly testable functional prototypes. This rapid prototyping capability allows for design optimization through CFD simulation before final production.
### Continuous Production
⚗️ **From Lab to Industrial Scale**
Flow chemistry and continuous production technologies are gaining importance in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Manetco develops custom micromixers and microfluidic components that facilitate the transition from laboratory to industrial scale. These solutions improve safety, efficiency, and process reproducibility.
## Quantifiable Benefits of Lean Prototyping
✅ **Measurable Performance Gains:**
- Development cycles reduced from 3-6 months to 2-4 weeks
- 70% reduction in total development time
- Substantial decrease in technical risks through early testing
- Continuous validation throughout the process
Companies that integrate iterative prototyping are better positioned to pivot and innovate successfully. This flexibility becomes crucial in an environment where technological requirements evolve rapidly.
## 2024-2025 Technology Trends
The laboratory industry is undergoing profound transformation with the integration of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and advanced automation.
