An ecosystem of expertise
EPIXC relies on five industrial-grade test beds for systems level demonstrations. These leverage our extensive industry, academic and national lab ecosystem of experts to de-risk the adoption of electrified and hybrid heat processing technologies for manufacturing.
These test beds are available to industrial and institution partners for:
- Gaining insights into electrified and hybrid heat processing technology benefits and vulnerabilities for better risk management.
- Defining pathways for electrified and hybrid heat processing technology integration at scale for specific applications, heat duty and temperature needs.
- Robust data collection, modeling and objective, transparent systems-level analysis to inform technology readiness and technology adoption decisions.
- Integrating AI/ML, digital twins and sensors into process optimization.
- Enabling robust technical solutions for advanced performance, durability, efficiency and affordability across a wide variety of manufactured products, components and materials.
- Fostering intentional connections to establish collaborations across the entire supply chain to create a tech to market pipeline.
- Sharing of best practices to accelerate technology deployment and education and workforce training.
EPIXC test beds have built their own industrial ecosystems — some of which have been operating for decades — and have accumulated over a century of combined domain expertise. EPIXC uniquely brings together people, knowledge and cutting-edge facilities in a collaborative effort to conquer challenges and provide a viable path for the commercialization of emerging electric and hybrid heating technologies.
