RAB Microfluidics want to help businesses move from reactive to predictive maintenance strategies. Their technology lets clients monitor machinery in real time and diagnose problems early. 

Working with companies in the oil and gas, aerospace and defence, processing and manufacturing, power generation, transport and maritime industries, their net is cast wide.
Their circular business model centres on enabling technologies. Their ‘lab-on-a-chip’ method analyses machine lubricating oil right there on location 1,000 times faster than fixed-site commercial labs. This means clients don’t have to pack up and send oil samples away for testing. Costs are cut. Resources are saved. 

This kind of emerging technology reinvents how and where the workforce is used. With less time spent on maintenance and repair, staff are freed up to use their skills elsewhere. 

Their best advice for going circular? “Don’t give up. If you think your idea is solid and you’ve validated it and seen something as a need, you’ve been able to evaluate what the market potential is.”
