After just a few experimental steps, this software can be used to easily predict the optimal conditions for any reaction, operation or process.
Silverdale Scientific offers Grabitech's MultiSimplex software, which it says can be used to mathematically predict optimal reactions, procedures or routes that can be used to dramatically improve the quality of products, speed of production, efficiency of processes and performance of laboratory instruments in a fraction of the time it would using conventional trial and error techniques.
After just a few experimental steps, the software can be used to easily predict the optimal conditions for any reaction, operation or process.
Silverdale says this can save many hours, days, or even weeks of experimental work that would otherwise be necessary to achieve the same result.
MultiSimplex optimisation is based on a combination of mathematical prediction and practical trials that are performed step by step.
The efficient and systematic search strategies of the optimisation algorithms combine together with the users' skill and experience to form a powerful tool that can be used to optimise almost any technical system in a quick and easy way.
Numerous documented examples are available to illustrate how using MultiSimplex software can save time and money - in one example, quality characteristics improved by 50-100%, and in another manufacturing throughputs increased up to 50%.
Another example shows how combustion facilities have cut environmental emissions by 20-30%, and some analytical laboratories have even cut analysis time by up to 50%.
MultiSimplex software can simultaneously handle several optimisation criteria and find optimum conditions with a minimum of practical trials.
Basic or modified simplex methods and numerical and graphical evaluation are supported and use of the software is well within the capabilities of engineers and scientists due to the friendly user interface, says Silverdale.
