KUDOS - Sharing collective process insight
Right across the process industries manufacturers use similar unit operations and face similar challenges as they strive to optimise their performance. At the same time, collaborative research projects often struggle to disseminate fresh insights about process technologies widely and in ways that endure. Britest Knowledge and Understanding Domains (KUDOS) collate process understanding, generated through projects, in a form that allows process sector companies to learn about different process operations and challenges.
Improving Access to Organisational Knowledge: A Visual Understanding of a Key Unit Operation

Britest Rich Pictures and Cartoons provided an elegant format to portray and summarise current information and understanding, and by digitising these into a dedicated internal site, AstraZeneca were able to produce an easy to use guide to pressure filtration development.
