Engineering, industrial automation and R&D

Systemic approach to design

Our Bi.lab Design & CAE team follows a proven, systemic approach to developing new machinery and processes or optimizing existing ones, ensuring integrated, consistent, and efficiency-oriented solutions.

Rapid design and intelligent

From fast 3D modeling to real-time modifications, we accelerate design through a seamless flow between CAD and CAE, dramatically reducing development and validation times.

Virtual prototyping iterative

With realistic, unsimplified simulations, we test each design under real-world conditions. Cyclic iterations refine the solution until the optimization goal is reached.

R&D

We manage all development phases internally, with vertical expertise and a structure equipped with tools and technologies for research, prototyping, and testing.

Industrial automation

We design and supply automatic and semi-automatic assembly lines, test benches, test systems, and specialty machines, both standard and custom. From design to delivery, everything is handled in-house.

Vertical skills

In addition to automation, we develop electronic hardware, software, motion control, and vision systems in-house, offering complete, flexible, and high-performance solutions for every industrial need.

 CAE and Virtual Prototyping

1

01 – FEM structural analysis

Linear, nonlinear, and transient analysis of even large systems.
2

02 – FEM fatigue analysis

Multiaxial and nonproportional fatigue analysis. Infinite-life fatigue analysis also considering the effects of plastic deformation.
3

03 – CFD and FSI Analysis

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations to evaluate the dynamic behavior of systems under complex conditions.
4

04 – Multibody analysis and co-simulation

Dynamic behavior analysis of multi-body systems and co-simulations with FEM or fluid dynamic models, for an integrated and realistic view of performance.

FAQ

The best solutions are custom-built lines that comply with Industry 4.0 standards with integrated quality control. Bi.lab designs and manufactures automated lines for the food industry, from laser marking to packaging, built and programmed in a closed loop.

The advantages are scalability, easier integration, and adaptability to different production processes. Bi.lab designs custom automated lines, developing integrated product and process development to integrate them into existing production, reducing downtime and machine downtime.

Mechanical, electrical, and software compatibility with existing systems is required. Bi.lab designs, builds, wires, and programs the line in-house (PLC, motion control, HMI) to comply with Industry 4.0 standards, reducing machine downtime and startup times.

A quote is requested based on an analysis of your production needs, as each line is custom-priced. For a personalized quote, please contact Bi.lab at info@bilab.tech or +39 051 0828 044.

The type of defects to be detected, line speed, and part variability must be evaluated. Bi.lab develops custom AI vision systems for quality control, capable of recognizing irregular defects and complex cases that traditional systems cannot handle.

AI learns to recognize variability and irregular defects, while traditional systems follow fixed rules. Bi.lab integrates AI vision into its machines to increase inspection reliability and reduce waste.

The system must be made compatible with the existing line at the software level and compliant with Industry 4.0. Bi.lab develops the AI vision system internally along with the rest of the machine, so it can be integrated into the existing line and communicate with the management systems.
