New Projects
Biotangents Limited are specialists in Veterinary Diagnostics and are designing the next generation of molecular diagnostics equipment for vets and labs. It is estimated that livestock diseases cost the UK economy £1bn per year with similar impacts on livestock farming worldwide. To help tackle this problem, Biotangents have developed Moduleic Sensing to provide fast, accurate results from point-of-care diagnostics. This KTP with the Bioengineering Department at the University of Strathclyde seeks to build on the Moduleic Sensing platform by integrating Electrochemical sensing technology to further improve performance and extend the range of applications. This project will further enhance Biotangents reputation and help accelerate the deployment of Moduleic Sensing into their target markets.

They are working with the department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde to develop an automated occupancy assessment approach to facilitate the embedding of innovative data gathering and modelling strategies within EventMAP’s core OPTIME software platform.
JWF Process Solutions Ltd., formed in 1962, is one of the biggest independent suppliers of measurement and instrumentation equipment in the UK. They are working with Departments of Management Science, and Computer and Information Sciences at the University of Strathclyde, to support business model transition from sensor supply, to provision of a software-based data and information service sales solution, by embedding operational capability and management expertise, enabling future growth through efficient implementation and execution of business improvement processes.
Perceptive Engineering Limited was formed to improve the efficiency of complex manufacturing and treatment processes, using robust and powerful statistical tools, combined with leading-edge academic thinking. PEL are a team of experienced control engineers, used by companies around the world to meet the manufacturing challenges of the future. Their KTP is to develop machine learning techniques embedded within the software offering, which will reduce the domain expertise level required by users to implement predictive maintenance systems, greatly increasing process efficiencies.
Scotbio provide clean and natural solutions for food, cosmetics, textiles and pharmaceuticals. Using biotech, they are able to reshape what’s possible- by creating all-natural colourants, plant-based proteins and nutritional ingredients at practically any scale. Thanks to their patented indoor GMP production process, they’re meeting unparalleled standards of purity, safety and consistency – every single day of the year. Their KTP is looking to embed expertise in chemical and process engineering, shortening time to market for products and helping to automate key processes. They are looking to utilise data science techniques to intensify production with sophisticated monitoring and control solutions.
Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission is the licensed owner and operator of the high voltage electricity transmission system in the north of Scotland. They are working with the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at the University of Strathclyde to embed engaging work practices, flexible management processes and systemic capacity for the effective implementation of strategy and innovation initiatives that result in business targets being exceeded, particularly for decarbonisation.
TrainFX Limited is a UK based rail technology company specialising in bespoke, turn-key and fully integrated on-train solutions, incorporating - passenger information system, seat sensors, crew comms, CCTV, call for assistance and passenger counting on both retro fit and new-build trains.
