Are you looking to ensure the safety of your products for consumers? Look no further than Engenium. Our scientific approach to hazard mitigation goes beyond just meeting market access requirements and looks at potential hazards from a consumer-centric perspective through historic data, behavioral science, and biomechanics. Trust our team of experts to identify and mitigate potential hazards in your products, ensuring the highest level of safety for your consumers.

Engenium provides comprehensive evaluations for the safety and performance of food products. Our assessments include attributes such as Hardness, Toughness, Dissolvability rate, Lubricity, Elasticity, Viscosity, and Tack to name a few, using a series of assessments designed to model various mechanics of mastication and ingestion. We compare results to a standardized comparator group for relation back to hazard potential. Trust Engenium's expertise to ensure the safety and performance of your food products.

Engenium offers specialized assessments for the safety of canine products and toys. Our assessments use a series of mechanical hazard models specifically designed with biomechanical capability and morphology in mind, such as cyclic chew, bite and pull, and gnawing. We pair these models with our knowledge of data bases, literature case studies, veterinary publications, and observational studies to interpret results and determine potential hazard severity. Trust Engenium's expertise to ensure the safety of your canine products and toys.

Product safety is vital and it should be considered from the very start of product development. Engenium's approach focuses on providing valuable insights to our clients during the early stages of product development, such as ideas, concepts, drawings and prototypes. By considering safety early on, it helps to make informed decisions throughout the product's lifecycle. With our customer-centric approach, we assist you to ensure the safety of your products from the initial stage.

At Engenium, we understand the importance of understanding how users interact with your product, that's why we offer biomechanics expertise to evaluate the physical aspects of human factors. By understanding the user's capability, we are able to create customized fixtures and sensors that collect data on various use modes such as biting, dropping, twisting, tearing, and throwing, which allows us to analyze the product performance and risk.

We also recognize that some data sets about biomechanics and anthropometrics are limited in their utility due to the specific data collection methods or technologies used. To overcome this limitation, we create a protocol and apparatus to collect product performance via failure mode observation or other dependent variable collection, which leads to validation of product design efficacy in a repeatable and reliable way.

We believe that data is the key to making defensible decisions. Using data, we can gain identify emerging trends in safety, quality, and consumer experience. We collect data from various sources such as consumer reports, internally gathered product data, wellness data, consumer complaints, and social media posts to gain a comprehensive understanding of the consumer experience. Additionally, we analyze data from suppliers, manufacturers, and formulations to understand in-field product performance and compare it with current testing or design standards.

Our analysis helps to support product redesigns, material changes, specification development, supplier corrective action plans, and quality inspection criteria for continued improvement and risk mitigation. With our data-driven approach, we help you make informed decisions to ensure the safety and performance of your products, while also considering the consumer experience.

The aging of products can have significant effects on safety and performance, causing unexpected or unintended consequences. Factors such as UV exposure, time, temperature, humidity, packaging, and internal product chemistry can contribute to changes in material properties and resulting hazard potential.

For use in quality control, safety, manufacturing, and design, risk assessments can be used in various formats to quantify potential hazards and estimate associated risk. Through the combined efforts of fundamental hazard quantification, data support, and expert interpretation, risk assessments provide a logical framework for understanding and mitgating potential risk.

A unique asset to Engenium is the practical experience and technical expertise essential to servicing a wide variety of specialized research requests and client customized deliverables. Maybe in the form of root cause investigation, custom equipment design, or conducting research, we offer the skills and network required to methodically and thoroughly approach any request.

Comparing products to the same set of requirements can be a helpful way to drive data drive decision making. Benchmarking is often used to determine manufacturer’s suggested retail price, but Engenium can take benchmarking a step further and compare safety driven metrics as well.
