Spinout profile
Company description
The company was set up to exploit the patent EP3510435A1 and paper Hobbs M, Grainger MP, Zhu C, Tan CH & Willmott J (2018) Quantitative thermal imaging using single-pixel Si APD and MEMS mirror. Optics Express, 26(3), 3188-3198. It has started with £230K of university IP exploitation funding and £200K of private investor funding. It will sell accurate temperature mapping instruments. Initially, this will be through Ametek Land as distributor to the petrochemical industry. Its aim is to reduce energy consumption in high temperature foundational industries like petrochemical, glass and steel.
Project impact
The company was founded late last year and there has not yet been time for it to make significant impacts.
