Modelling & Simulation
Mathematical, Chemical and Physical Modelling and Simulation
Data models can be a very powerful tool in your arsenal however at times they can only get you so far. Using data models to predict what will happen far outside the range of your data can be very difficult to do, often leading to significant uncertainties. Having said that, most processes can be modelled using the fundamental laws of physics, thus giving you greater flexibility in predicting what will happen if you change your operating conditions and/or help you understand your process much better, therefore providing deeper insights into how systems behave under different conditions.
Whether it is data-driven modelling and simulation such as statistics and machine learning, or First-principle / Physics-Based Models, such as Computational Chemistry, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and Discrete Element Modelling (DEM) we have got you covered.
We can help you build a model for the simplest of chemical reactions to the most complex physico-chemical process, regardless of the industry you work in. With expertise in equation-based modelling for physical and chemical phenomena we work to develop solutions tailored to your needs. Leveraging on advanced modelling techniques, we help businesses enhance predictive accuracy, optimising processes and gaining a clearer understanding of their operations.
Advanced Machine Learning & AI
Integrating First-Principles Models with Machine Learning
Why settle for just one approach when you can combine the best of both worlds? By integrating machine learning with first-principles models, you can unlock more accurate predictions and optimised outcomes. Whether it’s coupling machine learning with physical models to improve their accuracy, or using AI to fine-tune and optimise your models, we have experience with both approaches.
​
Using the latest techniques in parameter estimation and surrogate model building, we can enhance the predictive power of your models. With machine learning’s ability to analyse large datasets and identify patterns, combined with the robustness of first-principles models, we ensure that your model is as precise and effective as possible. This integration allows for faster, more reliable decision-making, helping your business stay ahead in a data-driven world.
Process & Parameter Optimisation
Data Model Building and Trial Planning for Optimisation
Optimisation can be used across all industries, whether you are looking to build accurate forecasts, optimise your manufacturing process, or predict the impact of changes to your settings. If you know the goal, i.e. what you would like to achieve, but you’re not sure which variables to use and how in order to achieve that goal, that is where we come in to help you out. Every company generates data and when good data is used and leveraged effectively, it can be used to build powerful models that answer these key questions. Whether you need a simple linear model or more advanced techniques like neural networks and machine learning, we’ve got the expertise to support you.
Code Optimisation
Enhancing the Power of Scientific Computing with Code Optimisation and GPU Computing
With the massive boost in computational efficiency provided by GPUs, it is no wonder everyone is getting on the bandwagon for scientific computing and machine learning model training.
If optimised properly, using GPUs can help cut own your model-building and simulation time from months to minutes.
With our expertise in leveraging the latest technology we can optimise your existing code or develop new solutions from scratch, helping you can achieve the desired results and as quickly as possible. In addition, we are software agnostic, meaning we can work with any programming language, ensuring a seamless integration into your existing systems.
Data Gathering, Analysis & Visualisation
Unlocking the Value of your Data
No matter the type of model – whether empirical, data-driven, or based on first-principles physics and chemistry – data is essential for building and validating the model. The quantity of data required varies depending on the model, but obtaining the right data is often the biggest challenge. We can help you design the most efficient data collection strategy, ensuring you gather the right data, to ensure good data is available and to determine the optimal number of trials needed to build a robust model.
Not sure what data you need or how to collect it? Don’t worry. With our extensive experience across various industries, we can guide you on the best equipment to use and how to effectively collect the data for your specific needs.
However, data on its own does not mean much unless it is properly interpreted. Nothing beats the right visualisation methods to help transform raw data into compelling stories, which will guide the business in informed decision-making.
Whatever the size of your datasets we can provide data analysis and visualisation. Whether your dataset is vast, meaning data collected over a longer period of time; or just a snapshot of the current scenario, we will help you make sense of it all.
Here at Funis Consulting, we will analyse your data and create clear, intuitive visualisations that not only make the data easier to read and understand, but also empowers you to communicate insights effectively to stakeholders, ensuring your explanations are clear, and the data behind the business decision is both sound and convincing.
So, let us help you unlock the full potential of your data, turning it into a powerful tool for smarter, more strategic decision-making.
