Compounded Innovation
At EPE innovation is much more than a buzzword and beyond implementing new technology. For us innovation is one of the major driving forces when designing and building custom machinery. Innovation is essential for designing and building custom machinery for a completely new product and /or technology and innovation is vital for refreshing and advancing mature processes. At EPE innovation thrives on an ever-compounding repository of knowledge and experience we use as a lens to explore, evaluate, create and produce new and continued value for our customers. At EPE innovation thrives on the following:
Knowledge
At EPE we understand that innovation thrives on knowledge. Besides core principles, simply possessing knowledge isn’t enough though. Instead we continually seek to learn and gain knowledge from numerous credible sources, including:
- Vendors
- Customers
- Trade / Industry News
- Professional & Trade Organizations
- Regulatory & Guidance Bodies
- Internal R&D
Experience
At EPE more than 30 years of experience (and counting) is an exponential force for generating innovation. Our experience provides a baseline of insight comprised of our vast application experience, our successes and many lessons-learned. We rely heavily on our experience to generate, evaluate and refine new approaches and concepts. We also rely on that experience to determine when it makes sense to start with a clean sheet!
