Manufacturing Technologies and Sustainability

Advanced materials manufacturers are among the vanguard of an industry which has been compelled by market forces to adapt and change by growing consumer demand for more sustainably-designed products.

SOLEID SOLEID operates advanced manufacturing facilities in the China, Japan, Europe and the Middle-East. Our SOLEID solution is a panel assembly, a lightweight core of Portland cement and expanded polystyrene bead aggregate, incorporating nontoxic Nano-carbon admixture chemicals sandwiched between non-asbestos MgOX board facings, SOLEID product leverages our world-class equipment and facilities to ensure that SOLEID product meets the highest standards of quality and performance

SOLEID Panels are a construction product produced by casting a lightweight core of Portland cement and extended polystyrene bead aggregate, sandwiched between fabricated calcium-silicate or cement-board in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place. In contrast, standard concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site.. By producing SOLEID Panels in a controlled environment (typically referred to as a SOLEID plant), the SOLEID Panels are afforded the opportunity to properly cure and be closely monitored by plant employees. Utilizing SOLEID Panel systems offer many potential advantages over site casting of concrete. The production process for SOLEID Panels are performed on ground level, which helps with safety throughout a project. There is a greater control of the quality of materials and workmanship in a production plant rather than on a construction site. Financially, the forms used in a SOLEID plant may be reused hundreds to thousands of times before they have to be replaced, which allows cost of formwork per unit to be lower than for site-cast production.

There are different types of SOLEID Panels, forming systems for architectural applications, differing in size, function, and cost. SOLEID architectural panels are also used to clad all or part of a building façade, free-standing walls used for perimeter walls and landscaping, soundproofing, and security walls, and some can be steel reinforced structural elements for load bearing walls.

Advanced manufacturing, assembly and production lines require skilled technicians capable of troubleshooting and controlling complex interrelated mechanical and electronic control systems and equipment. The associate of applied science with an automated production systems emphasis trains technicians to integrate, maintain and operate advanced robotics, computerized inventory and process control, quality assurance and system management in modern manufacturing facilities.
