New technologies can open up new markets, improve operational efficiency and help businesses respond to pressing customer and environmental challenges.

Through the [ADAPT](https://lyvalabs.com/adapt-waitlist) programme established businesses can gain expert guidance, structured support and access to £15k feasibility grants to explore and validate new products, services and business opportunities.

For [Bomac Electric Ltd](https://www.bomac-elec.co.uk/), a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of heating elements and products, the programme helped turn customer insight into a scalable innovation for smarter waste cooking oil management.

Market Opportunity

Through conversations and user feedback from their existing customers, Bomac established there was a need for a smarter way to manage waste cooking oil. They had already started supplying high-quality storage equipment but recognised an opportunity to develop an innovative IoT sensor-based oil collection system to improve efficiency, visibility and service for customers.

Supported by [Innovate UK](https://www.ukri.org/councils/innovate-uk/) LaunchPad funding, Bomac worked with [DefProc](https://www.defproc.co.uk/) Engineering to design and develop an initial prototype. Customer testing validated the concept, provided critical user feedback and reinforced confidence in the size of the commercial opportunity.

**ADAPT Approach**

Strategic support from LYVA Labs has helped Bomac define the next stage of product development and introduced [Tritec,](https://tritecdevelopments.co.uk/)an experienced electronics engineering and manufacturing partner, to support the transition from prototype to scale-ready solution.

Alongside brokering the partnership, LYVA Labs acted as an independent innovation partner, providing ongoing guidance and challenge throughout the project.

**Impact**

The support has given Bomac the confidence to invest in the next phase of development. With the right expertise and partnerships in place, the company is now progressing towards a robust, scalable solution that will undergo wider customer trials, creating a clear pathway from innovation to commercialisation and future growth.
