Clean growth is at the heart of the governments Industrial Strategy. To meet the UK's 2050 net zero target, the UK must increase energy production from renewable sources by fourfold. For Offshore Wind to fulfil this demand, innovations are needed to reduce the cost of delivering this source of energy. Specifically, wind farm operators are actively seeking...

Rail transport accounts for almost 7% of transport demand in the European Union with predicted strong growth figures; latest EU-28 available data shows that there were more than 401B passenger-kilometre journeys completed in 2016. One of the most critical assets of the physical railway infrastructure are the Switches and Crossings (S&Cs); the mechanical i...

"In this 18-month project, self-powered Sensors for monitoring key parameters affecting the performance of the railway infrastructure (load, temperature, shock, etc.) will be developed, deployed, tested and evaluated (move from TRL2-3 to TRL7). The Sensors will combine Ilika's Stereax(r) solid-state battery technology and Smart Component Technologies Ltd ...

Switches & Crossings' (S&C's) are the costliest and most safety critical asset within the rail infrastructure to maintain. Smart Component Technologies (SCT), and their collaborators University of Birmingham, CHG Electrical Ltd and Network Rail, will develop through this project a technology that can detect track voids and measure nose impact at S&C's, as...

Smart Component Technologies Ltd (SCT) and Severn Unival Ltd (Severn) have identified an opportunity to apply SCT's leading-edge safety critical fastener management technology to flanged assets with potential application across a wide range of industries, in particular energy & power generation and process chemical industries, which Severn operate in, whe...

Reliable rail networks are vital for the movement of people and goods across the UK accounting for 71 billion passenger miles and 18bn tonnes of freight. The rail infrastructure uses millions of threaded fasteners. Although a nut and bolt is simple component, it is often safety and performance critical i.e. should it fail, it would lead to catastrophic ac...

A switch moves trains between tracks; components include switch rails, stretcher bars (SBs) & a switch motor. SBs keep the rails a set distance apart & ensure both rails move together. Switch integrity is vital; on the UK’s busiest lines >100 trains will pass over a switch each day (Ref A). Switch failure is the 3rd biggest cause of UK derailments (Ref B)...

There is considerable economic and environment benefits for the UK from shale gas but this is critically dependant on its safe and responsible exploitation. There are many complex factors to be considered, however, there is the opportunity to adapt sensor and wireless communication technology to allow for the remote condition monitoring of wellheads. This...

PCIPP (A People Centred Approach to Intelligent, Proactive, Predictive Asset Management) will advance a state-of-the-art Enterprise Wide (Any asset type, Any sensor type, Any Manufacturer), Enterprise Class (Robust, Flexible, User Friendly, Scalable, Future Proof) solution for intelligent asset management that goes beyond conventional Remote Condition Mon...

Smart Component Technologies has developed a wireless smart washer which is capable of measuring the clamp force of bolted joints. The technology was created to monitor the correct clamp force of bolted joints during and after installation and routine maintenance of plant and valves across a wide variety of industries (e.g. rail, nuclear, oil and gas). At...
