CAPABILITIES System Development:
Because Guild produces highly engineered systems, emphasis
on assembly and test capability have been incorporated into
its production department. During prototype development,
design engineers and the manufacturing group work together
to create a unique and effective solution, while taking
into account the potential of full-scale production. Simplicity,
standardization, use of common materials and similar design
attributes are integrated into the design wherever practicable.
Simultaneously, the proposed manufacturing scheme is examined
to minimize “proprietary” features that will
increase cost, restrict competition or place unnecessary
manufacturing burdens on suppliers striving to produce parts
and subsystems required. These activities naturally lead
to a production control strategy that emphasizes close cooperation
with subcontractors. Materials
Development
Guild Associates, Inc. continues to enhance its reputation
as a leader in the field of adsorptive, reactive and catalytic
materials for applications that include decontamination,
chemical defense and demilitarization. Recent advances by
Guild’s technical team have included the development
of reactive sorbents for decontamination, noncarbon based
filtration media and oxidative catalysts for chemical defense
applications, and catalytic materials for the mineralization
of chemical agents related to demilitarization applications.
These advances are the direct result of Guild’s ability
to characterize materials and draw correlation between the
physical properties of materials and their performance in
a working environment. Guild is uniquely equipped to develop,
evaluate and manufacture materials for user specified applications,
such as chemical defense applications.
Guild’s development laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art
materials characterization instruments and the evaluation
laboratory has the capabilities to evaluate materials ranging
from adsorbents used in PSA/TSA applications to catalysts
used for the destruction of chemical agents. Lastly, Guild’s
manufacturing capabilities allow us to manufacture materials
from pilot to production scale. |
