Diversified Industrials

DiversifiedIndustrials_Industry_Page From precision scientific instruments and medical devices to buildings, bridges, and ships, diversified industrial manufacturers develop a broad range of precision-engineered products that compete on performance, reliability, and cost. New technologies can upgrade core components or combine separate ones, providing a performance and cost advantage.

For industrial products at any scale, Lux Research's Intelligence services and Lux Consulting address the need to find and incorporate innovative new materials, machines, and processes – and develop strategies to acquire them cost-competitively. As examples, our services cover:

  • Grid Storage: grid-level storage, novel battery chemistries, combined heat and power
  • Mobile Energy: powertrain technologies for vehicles and industrial equipment, novel battery chemistries
  • Efficient Building Systems: Advanced heating and cooling, energy-efficient lighting, building energy management systems, emerging business models and ESCOs, on-site power
  • Water: industrial water remediation, recovery of valuable materials, low-water technologies, membranes and desalination
  • Solar Systems: solar modules, solar thermal infrastructure, solar thermal
  • Solar Components: ingots and wafers
  • Advanced Materials: wear-resistant coatings, lubricants, structural materials
  • Printed, Flexible, and Organic Electronics: novel sensors, displays, and other devices; OLED lighting; emerging production technologies
  • Bio-based Materials and Chemicals: bio-based polymers and basic, specialty, and fine chemicals
