A company specialising in the management and maintenance of industrial heating systems.

The problem:
The company had to carry out up 4 site-visits per annum to over 200 sites – each one a hazardous working environment.

Our solution:
We developed a system to extract the required samples automatically, make them safe for testing, test the samples, make them safe to re-introduce to the system and return them to the system.
The system was made to be fail-safe in cases of electrical failure, and maintenance free for up to 5 years. We also developed systems to supply all of the sample-data on a minute-by-minute basis, allowing the customer to perform trend-analysis upon the data.

Electronic prototyping. High-temperature piping systems. Hazardous environment operation. Remote location data connectivity. Data capture. Data analytics.

Other skills were required, but we cannot explain these as it would undermine confidentiality.

The customer:
A team of electrical engineers, plus the Church.

The problem:
The church is located in a highly remote area, extremely far from an electrical connection and in a position where solar panels would be impractical.

Our solution:
There was room for a single solar panel, so our challenge was to develop an efficient energy storage system, plus minimising the energy requirements of the church itself. We also looked at the church event schedule to ascertain how much power would be required for each ceremony, and how much charging-time would be available between each ceremony.

We re-designed several electrical systems required within the church to reduce their consumption, and implemented a solar panel & trickle-charger system with enough batteries to provide continual power through all ceremonies.

Skills required:
Re-development of existing systems to function under low-power conditions. Battery & solar charging design & installation. Planning applications within listed buildings.

The customer:
The executive team of a new start-up

The problem:
The team required a prototype for their revolutionary new product idea.

Our solution:
We produced a system specification, provided electrical engineering support to develop prototype models, produced mockups for presentations, secured PR engagements and provided support for the team during international conferences and provided expert assistance to their patent lawyers.

Skills required:
Embedded system development. Software & web development. PR assistance. Board-level representation. Financial modelling.

The customer:
An expert in the Audio-Visual industry

The problem:
A customer had approached our client requesting audio broadcasting technology for use in a campus environment. They were currently using disposable products that were expensive and not environmentally friendly . They wanted to make low-latency audio broadcasts to client-owned mobile devices.

Our solution:
We helped the customer design, develop and launch this product.
We sourced and made strategic partnerships with major international AV companies and met with several clients on their behalf. We used high
quality commercial audio technology and integrated it with IOS and Android software applications to handle the broadcasting.
In testing, latency was less than 0.1s and the software was compatible with the most popular telephones at the time.
We also helped the client with financial forecasting, competitor analysis and pitch-deck.

Skills required:
Creation of strategic partnerships. Representing the customer in multiple overseas meetings. Mobile application development. Professional audio hardware. Financial forecasting. Competitor analysis.
