SR&ED for Real Manufacturing Work

We help manufacturers recover SR&ED dollars buried in everyday production engineering – the kind of work most consultants overlook.

We Find SR&ED Where Others Don’t Look

Most SR&ED consultants focus on obvious R&D – new products, lab development, or formal engineering projects. But in manufacturing, the real technical effort happens somewhere else – on the production floor.

It’s the engineering time spent reducing scrap, stabilizing forming processes, improving tooling, increasing uptime, solving automation problems, and pushing equipment beyond original equipment limits. This is daily technical work required to make manufacturing more efficient and competitive – and it often goes unclaimed.

We specialize in uncovering and documenting the experimental development buried inside real production environments, building stronger, more accurate SR&ED claims from work your team is already doing.

Turning Everyday Engineering into Meaningful SR&ED Returns

The production-floor engineering most companies overlook often represents a substantial portion of the eligible SR&ED activity. By identifying experimental development within process improvements, equipment optimization, and technical problem-solving, we help manufacturers recover significant SR&ED credits that would otherwise go unclaimed.

Our focus is not on stretching eligibility, but on properly capturing real experimental work already happening inside your operation – resulting in stronger claims, reduced risk, and more meaningful financial returns.

When production engineering is documented properly, the financial impact can be substantial.

Why Manufacturers Trust DANIK

Real process improvements aren’t clean, isolated projects. They unfold through ongoing engineering, testing, tuning, operator input, quality investigations, and production troubleshooting. because they are incremental and rarely labeled as “R&D”, they are often never claimed.

With deep hands-on manufacturing experience, we understand how real engineering work happens in production environments – and how to prove eligibility to CRA.

Industries & Technical Sectors

While our deepest specialization is in advanced manufacturing and production engineering, we also support SR&ED projects across a wide range of applied mechanical and industrial engineering environments where real-world experimentation is required to improve system performance.

Built on Real Engineering Experience

DANIK Consulting is grounded in real-world manufacturing an production engineering experience. We understand how technical problems unfold under live production conditions – through iterative troubleshooting, equipment limitations, operator input, and continuous process refinement.

This background allows us to recognize experimental development where others see routine operations, and to translate that work into clear, defensible SR&ED documentation.

We’ve organized the engineering domains where this kind of technical uncertainty most often occurs, so you can quickly see how your own work may qualify.

What Clients Say

Manufacturers and engineering teams value our ability to understand complex production challenges and translate real technical work into strong SR&ED claims. Clients often tell us we identify eligible experimental development others overlook, and that our documentation reflects how engineering actually happens on the shop floor.

We Do the Heavy Lifting

Your engineers and supervisors are busy running production. We handle th heavy lifting – identifying eligible work, organizing technical details, and building audit-ready SR&ED documentation with minimal disruption to your operation.

Let’s Talk About the Engineering Work You’re Already Doing

If your team is solving production problems, improving processes, stabilizing equipment, or pushing systems beyond their original limits, there’s a strong chance you’re already performing SR&ED – even if no one has called it that before.

We’ll review your operation from a technical perspective, help identify where experimental development is happening, and show you how it can be properly documented for SR&ED.
