About
What do we offer?
We can offer Pharma-Grade Precision for Autonomous CBRN Decontamination.
With 20 years of experience in the GMP-regulated pharmaceutical and medical sectors, we offer the technical expertise to support bridging the gap between chemical research and robust, field-ready hardware for the EDF-2026-RA-MCBRN-DST call.
-
Validated Cleaning (CIP/WIP): We adapt proven Clean-In-Place (CIP) technologies to varying customized requirements & platforms. This ensures the thorough, validated cleaning of complex geometries and / or sensitive products.
-
Precision & Material Protection: Leveraging our cleanroom heritage, we specialize in the gentle yet effective treatment of high-tech components.
-
Design & Construction: Thorough experience in designing and building turn-key cleanrooms (ISO/GMP)
-
Contamination Control: Advanced knowledge in airflow, pressure differentials, and containment
-
VHP Compatibility: Expert in systems resistant to Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide and other aggressive sterilants as well as protective gas atmospheres
-
-
Modular Machinery – Designed for Flexibility
-
Modular Architecture: Our systems are built on standardized, scalable modules (Mechanical, Electrical, Software)
-
R&D Power: High development competence in creating entirely new automated processes from scratch
-
Prototyping: Rapid transition from concept to TRL 6-ready industrial solutions.
-
What are we looking for?
Strategic Partnerships to Bridge the Gap Between CBRN Research and Hardware Integration.
To maximize the impact of the EDF-2026-RA-MCBRN-DST call, we are seeking to join a consortium as a Technology Partner and Hardware Integrator. Specifically, we are looking for:
-
Consortium Leads (Large System Integrators): Prime contractors or large defense companies looking for a specialized SME to design and manufacture the physical decontamination modules and robotic sub-systems.
-
CBRN Research Institutes & Academia: Partners providing the chemical, biological, or radiological expertise who require a professional engineering firm to translate their laboratory-scale findings into TRL 4-6 functional prototypes.
-
DST Software Developers: Collaborators developing the Decision Support Tools, who need smart, sensor-integrated hardware to provide real-time data-feeds and process validation.
-
Military End-Users: Contacts within Ministries of Defence (MoDs) or CBRN defense units to provide operational requirements and feedback for our automated cleaning and robotic prototypes.
Our Goal: To contribute our 20 years of pharma-grade engineering to a multidisciplinary team, ensuring that the next generation of European CBRN decontamination systems is autonomous, material-safe, and fully validated.
What is your role in the project?
We act as the Industrial Integrator, translating advanced CBRN research into validated, field-ready hardware.
Within the EDF-2026-RA-MCBRN-DST framework, our role is to bridge the gap between theoretical decontamination concepts and operational machinery. Leveraging our 20-year background in the pharmaceutical sector, we take responsibility for:
-
Work Package Lead/Support for Hardware Prototyping: Designing and manufacturing the physical decontamination units, ensuring they meet rigorous industrial and military standards.
-
Automation & Robotics Integration: Implementing the mechanical systems and control software required for autonomous spray cycles and robotic handling of sensitive equipment.
-
Process Validation & Data Provisioning: Installing the sensor arrays necessary to monitor decontamination success in real-time, providing the critical data-feed for the Decision Support Tool (DST).
-
GMP-Standardization of Decon Protocols: Applying pharmaceutical "Clean-In-Place" (CIP) logic to ensure that every decontamination cycle is repeatable, documented, and safe for sensitive high-tech materials.
In essence: We are the engineering engine of the consortium, ensuring that the research outcomes result in a functional, scalable, and fully validated prototype (TRL 4-6).
