Key Research Areas

Circular Economic Models

Design Molecule concentrates on cost-saving sustainability within your company. As you design and implement tech, machinery, and an operational setup with basic components that can be reused, repaired, or easily upgraded or remanufactured, you’re investing in a functional future that elevates your output while lowering your expenses.

Hydrogen Economy
As we look toward a future of clean and renewable energy to power our businesses, solar and wind power frequently assert themselves at the forefront of our alternative energy options. Hydrogen power presents a frequently overlooked innovation that continues to build momentum as a commercial fuel that could accommodate a large swath of energy and service needs in a cost-effective and eco-friendly way.
Clean Energy
Forward-thinking companies are moving away from coal, fossil fuels, and excess carbon emissions. It may seem slow-going, but the health of the planet and ultimate cost-savings make green energy a welcome inevitability businesses can embrace and spearhead. In a marketplace where company values and manufacturing ethics are scrutinized as heavily as the quality of the products themselves, this is a crucial area to place your focus.
Mining
Design Molecule understands the risks and rewards of the mining industry and how it’s expected to evolve and transform as new modes of energy are adopted and become more widespread. We recognize the importance of mining technology and the role that coal and other minerals will continue to play even while phasing in new opportunities for energy and industry.

Automation

So many manual jobs can now be carried out by highly efficient machinery and robotics that speed efficiency, accelerate systems, and lower production time. Every industry should look closely at the ways these tech developments will continue to change the game for businesses and their competition. Design Molecule knows which innovations are on the horizon and equips companies to leverage and prepare.

Autonomous Vehicles
Self-driving cars are those proverbial, much referenced innovations that are just around the corner. The changes to shipping logistics and the workforce will save substantial time and money, but will also make new demands and drastically impact your day-to-day protocols. We’re here to help you engage with this particular opportunity and challenge and to understand what it will mean for your industry.
Total Population Health
With a push to curb the obesity epidemic and promote widespread wellness among consumers and the workforce, businesses must strategize ways to contribute to a culture of health, both among their employees and with the products and services they market to their customers. This is true across industries and can powerfully raise a business’s brand image.
Sustainable Housing
Design Molecule looks intently at the way housing practices are inaugurating eco-friendly and highly energy-efficient spaces. We can advise about cost-conscious ways of going green and developing office and workspaces that embrace sustainability to save significant energy and operating costs in the long-term.

Food and Water Security

As climate change poses a growing concern, the population looks to businesses and government to maintain and safeguard resources that will become increasingly scarce. Just as oil has long caused contention between countries and corporations, the climate crisis threatens to render water as the next highly sought commodity—a future reality everyone needs to prepare for.

Industry, Innovation and Architecture
Rooftop green spaces, remote work facilities, smart homes and smart offices—technology, architects, and the entire build industry are changing the ways we inhabit and interact with our spaces. This includes opening doors to new ways of working and new opportunities to alter and enhance the current norms of our work life. Offices and industrial spaces are taking on a life of their own!
Software Models
The right software levels up any corporation’s internal systems and practices—but often requires a specialized program customized and fitted to the work requirements of your particular company and field. Whatever your needs, Design Molecule can help you plan, and will connect you with the developers who will make this a reality.
Open Engineering
Electrical, mechanical, computer, and civil engineers provide open-source resources to heighten and further their work. Corporate and manufacturing innovations often come with access to the right knowledge and the ability to solve a particular problem in a particular moment. Design Molecule is ready to help guide the way.

Digital Twins

Digital Twinning provides the first step in bringing forth realities that begin as conceptual models in the digital sphere. We can help you make a real-time digital counterpart that represents a physical object or process—and then amend and experiment with the “twin” as desired for the purpose of improvements and new developments.

Advanced Manufacturing and Design
Looking for the equipment or technology that can bring a particular product into existence? Hoping to optimize your operational systems according to a specific vision? We’re here to help you understand how that’s all possible—whether that means adapting pre-existing designs in use by your company or another entity or inventing something from whole cloth.
