Research and Development in Engineering

Typical Qualifying R&D Activities

Creating new engineering products or systems, or significantly improving existing ones. This can include developing novel machinery, devices, or structural systems that offer enhanced performance, efficiency, or capabilities.

Innovating in manufacturing processes to achieve greater precision, reduce costs, or increase production speed. This can involve the use of advanced robotics, additive manufacturing (3D printing), or automated control systems.

Researching and implementing sustainable engineering practices, such as developing energy-efficient systems, reducing waste, or using eco-friendly materials. Projects can also focus on recycling or resource recovery technologies.

Designing and building prototypes to test and validate new engineering designs. This involves iterative testing, performance evaluation under various conditions, and refinement of prototypes to meet design goals.

Utilising digital tools and simulation software to design, model, and test engineering projects. This includes developing digital twins, conducting finite element analysis (FEA), and using computer-aided design (CAD) tools to optimise engineering solutions.

Creating or improving structural designs to solve complex engineering challenges. Projects may involve developing new construction techniques, materials, or designs that enhance structural integrity, reduce costs, or improve functionality.

Designing and implementing advanced automation and control systems to enhance the efficiency and precision of engineering processes. This includes developing custom software, control algorithms, or integrating IoT devices for smart automation.

Researching and developing new technologies for energy generation, storage, or distribution. This can include work on renewable energy systems, energy-efficient technologies, or improvements in power transmission and grid management.

Innovating new methods for quality assurance and testing to ensure product reliability and compliance with standards. Projects may involve developing advanced testing equipment, automated inspection systems, or new testing protocols.

Creating smart engineering systems that integrate connectivity and data analytics to optimize performance. This can include developing IoT-enabled devices, smart sensors, or systems that leverage big data for predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring.

Designing and fabricating specialised machinery or equipment to meet specific engineering challenges. This involves creating custom solutions that improve efficiency, accuracy, or capabilities in various industrial applications.

Developing new systems for efficient material handling, storage, and logistics within engineering operations. This includes innovations in automated material transport, warehouse management, and supply chain optimization.

“It was our first-time claiming R&D, and we are thrilled to have worked alongside the Walmer team. We didn’t know what to expect from this but now we wish we had claimed R&D in the past. During our process with Walmer, we have gained extensive knowledge from the process on how to best structure our internal processes when identifying R&D-related projects. If you haven’t yet claimed on R&D, I would strongly recommend speaking to the team!”
