 As markets expand globally and foundry customers demand higher levels of quality at lower costs, maintaining a competitive edge isn't just good business any longer - it's vital for survival. This more competitive environment has affected the pace of technological change, which is occurring faster than ever before in the industry. As a host of new products floods the market, owners and operators are finding it harder than ever to determine which technologies merit the investment of their hard-earned capital dollars.
Many successful customers count on Mouat to be there with the information, experience, and expertise to address such challenges. It takes a special kind of designer to cut through the `hype' surrounding new technologies and make a reasonable assessment of the practical application of new ideas. The Mouat team invests a significant amount of time researching and testing new techniques, ideas, and equipment to validate their value as real improvements to foundry processes. In addition, we still pride ourselves on successfully combining common devices in innovative ways to achieve higher performance in the systems we design.
The design process itself has benefited significantly from recent advances in computer technology. At Mouat we are committed to staying on the leading edge. With our network of high-end engineering workstations and advanced design software, our designers produce some of the best construction documents in the industry.
 By pioneering the use of 3-Dimensional computer models, we are engineering some of the most efficient facility concepts ever. We have also instituted an on-going program of developing advanced tools to improve both our internal communication and how we communicate with our customers. All such refinements of the design process lead directly to shorter design/construction cycles and facilities optimized for long-term profitability, not to mention reduced engineering and installation costs.
So whether it means designing a new system, developing new tools to do our work better, or integrating traditional processes with new technologies, we're always searching for better ways to meet our customers' changing needs. |
