GX Group: August’s MediWales Featured Member

 

GX Group is a leading UK technology and innovations company and one of the foremost medical, diagnostic and scientific instrumentation design and development companies in Wales.

The Group comprises GX Design Engineers: specialists in new product design and development, GX Environmental: tankered waste water and clean water management solutions, GX Systems: who design and manage automation and control systems for production facilities, and GX Tracking: providing vehicle and mobile plant logistics and tracking services.  As a group, GX offers a complete skill set for product development and astute, problem-solving intelligence, and clients benefit from specialist cross fertilisation of ideas as well as swift project progression. With offices housing rapid prototyping, workshop, production and testing facilities, GX can take projects from concept to finished unit efficiently, in-house.

At the heart of everything the Group does is a commitment to achieving the best commercial results for its clients. Its product design and development arm – GX Design Engineers – has turned brilliant ideas into commercial realities across a range of industries, including medical, scientific, industrial, security, defence, retail, automotive, environmental and consumer, but the greatest proportion of projects lie within the medical and scientific instrumentation sector.  Boasting a wealth of award-winning experience in these industries and knowledge of the latest emerging technologies, GX Design Engineers have been instrumental in bringing to commercial reality products which are now used extensively both nationally and internationally.

The iSurgicals Laparoscopic trainer – the most advanced training simulator for developing skills including suturing – is now used in surgical schools and training hospitals UK-wide.  The PBL Dynamic Gastric Model is a commercially successful dynamic in-vitro system which mimics the activity of the human stomach – a major advance in exploration for the pharmaceutical and food industries.  The low-cost Bayer Clinitek Status solved the problems of inaccuracies in visual reading of urine analysis and has set the industry standard, selling in over 100 countries.  The Twin-X, an ergonomic integration and development of two X-ray analysis technologies, won the Industry Business Award for Industrial Design and remains the market leader.

Projects for the medical and scientific sectors include diagnostic devices, surgical instrumentation and hospital equipment, each drawing on GX’s expertise in electronics, industrial design, mechanical engineering, software, optronics and value engineering as well as more specialist areas like RFID design and microfluidics.  GX offers bespoke electronic design solutions and unique applications and implementation, as well as micro-machining and prototyping.

GX Design Engineers can run projects from initial concept discussions right through to production, or get involved in stages along the process, as required. A full process would involve analysis of the commercial viability of a concept with consideration of competition and ROI goals, concept ideation and innovation generating intellectual property and researching into patents, detailed CAD design and prototyping with full testing, and moving into compliance and approvals, production costs, assembly times and final production and launch.

Passionate about design engineering, GX welcomes discussions about new concepts or product developments. To start your project rolling call them on 01291 673437 or go to http://www.gxgroup.com
