*Themed Presentation – Small Data, Big Wins

Gain insight into small data within manufacturing and what simple technologies are available to kick start your Operational Excellence journey. Many manufacturing organisations are recording large amounts of performance data, without knowing how best to use the information for production improvements. It’s all about starting off with small, incremental changes, using smart devices and sensors to fast-track IIoT technology adoption.

As part of March’s Lunch Club, a live demo and presentation, delivered by Fraser Thomson , Business Development Director at Cimlogic, will cover:

  • What is small data?
  • How to apply a small data approach
  • Available smart technologies
  • Real world client examples

The Cimlogic demonstration conveyor will show some of the ‘quick wins’ to be gained from implementing production line technologies and measuring output in real-time.

Cimlogic offer complete manufacturing improvement solutions and support to improve efficiency and maximise productivity; ensuring optimum performance and fast ROI. A systems integrator with a wide range of technology partners, Cimlogic use the ‘best of the best’ technologies to build rapid and robust solutions.

We’ve all studied and understand the GDPR, right? We’ve all done what we need to for our business and are happy, right?

If your answer to either (or both) of these is ‘erm, not really’, then this ‘Introduction to GDPR’ session will help distil the most important aspects and actions for you and your organisation, in an easy-to-get, non-technical manner.

We are delighted to have partnered with IT Security experts, VIGO IT Solutions, to provide free advice on GDPR compliance and any other data protection or security queries you may have.

Following their well received overview presentation at our Lunch Club earlier this month, Kurt Beaumont-Jones, Managing Director of VIGO IT Solutions, will be returning to Sensor City on the morning of 28th January to provide bespoke 1-2-1 sessions.

Each private slot will be tailored to best help you understand the difference between (and responsibilities put upon) data ‘controllers’ and ‘processors’, people’s Rights, what to do when someone asks for a copy of their data or when you have a data breach. Additionally, Kurt can cover how you can do your best to keep yours and other people’s data safe, along with a few other things you really need to know – all delivered with a smile and big chunk of reality – guaranteed!

Each time slot is available on a first come, first served basis, so book your free place today to avoid disappointment.

*Themed Presentation – Attracting Top Talent, Exemplia Group

Recruitment is one of the biggest challenges for all businesses, especially SMEs and start-ups.

In industries with a focus on technology, engineering and IT, finding the right candidates can be even more challenging, with nation wide skills shortages increasing the competition to find and retain the top talent.

As part of February’s Lunch Club, a free recruitment clinic, delivered by Victoria Baker, Head of Client Services at Exemplia Group, will cover:

  • How to attract the best talent
  • Building your brand to stand out to job seekers
  • Employer interview techniques
  • The HR tools and templates you need to promote vacancies, select the right candidates and appoint your chosen employees

Following the main presentation, there will be a Q&A session discussing all matters relating to attracting, interviewing and onboarding new staff.

Victoria will also stick around in Sensor City for the rest of the afternoon to give bespoke 1-2-1 practical advice and recommendations around great value solutions Exemplia Group can provide for your business.

Exemplia Group help businesses to ensure their talent acquisition runs smoothly and empower them with information to decide upon the most effective recruitment solution. This enables them to find the right people to help their business grow.

The Institute for Manufacturing are the chosen Knowledge Partner for DMW. This Briefing will be held at Sensor City in Liverpool, co-located with Digital Manufacturing Week (DMW), part of DMW Fringe.

New and emerging technologies present huge opportunities for businesses. But how can companies identify and capitalise on these opportunities, while remaining squarely focused on business strategy and on delivering customer value? And how can they respond to challenges such as the cost and complexity of digitalisation, skills requirements, and disruption from new market entrants?

In this short, focused Briefing for manufacturing decision-makers and policy practitioners, we will provide insights from the latest thinking and research from the Institute for Manufacturing around successful strategies for digitalisation.

Drawing on case studies from industry and from international practice, the event will explore frameworks and real examples that can help decision makers to develop strategic approaches for digitalisation initiatives.

The audience will be invited to join the discussion in a panel session and will have the opportunity to share experiences and insights both with Cambridge academics, and their industrial peers during a networking reception.

We invite manufacturers and policy practitioners to this event, as we address the opportunities and challenges faced by firms when implementing digital technologies.

Agenda

  • Arrival, networking and refreshments
  • Welcome & introduction – Prof. Tim Minshall
  • Speakers to be announced shortly
  • Panel discussion

Why attend?

This Briefing will bring together practitioners and researchers to discuss and share insights and best practice. Participants will leave with ideas, inspiration, priorities and strategies for implementation.

To find out more about IfM’s involvement in this UK’s largest digital manufacturing exhibition, visit the DMW page on the IfM website.

IfM Briefing Series

This event is part of the IfM Briefing Series, thought-provoking events that tackle real challenges.

Each event is tailored to a defined audience, focussing on a specific topic, bringing together expertise in that topic to address common challenges in manufacturing.

Applications, Opportunities and Challenges

The healthcare industry is getting costlier than ever. Population ageing is a global challenge and the number of chronic diseases is on the rise.

While technology such as IoT cannot prevent the population from ageing or eradicate chronic diseases in the near future, it can at least mitigate the situation and improve the quality of life.

With IoT technology, real-time monitoring of patients can be made possible by using implantable or wearable devices. Vital medical information such as heartbeat, glucose level and aspiration can be monitored by connecting these smart medical devices to a local router or a smartphone app. The collected data can be transferred to a medical centre. The vast amount of data collected can be further analysed. It would allow healthcare organisations to get vital healthcare analytics and data-driven insights for better decision-making.

At the same time, the IoT technology is also facing great challenges for healthcare applications, such as data security & privacy, integration of different devices and standards, and the accuracy of remote data collection.

This seminar aims to address these issues by discussing the applications, opportunities and challenges of Internet of Things in healthcare.

Speakers

  • Michael McKean, Eurotech, IoT Business Manager
  • Alex Casson, University of Manchester, Reader (Associate Professor)
  • Dr Benjamin Salem Bernard, University of Liverpool, Senior Lecturer in Industrial Design
  • Didier Bozec, Eurofins York, Laboratories Director
  • Michael Walker, AIMES Grid Services CIC Ltd, Project Director

Reasons to attend

  • This event will bridge the two trendy topics of IoT and healthcare. Currently there is no UK workshop or seminar specifically focusing on the applications of IoT on healthcare. The event will be jointly run by the IoT TPN and sister IET TPNs.
  • The Science and Technology Facilities Council, Sensor City and Alder Hey Hospital have nationally and internationally renowned facilities and expertise. This event will bring together experts from these institutes to demonstrate what they have to offer on IoT technology for healthcare applications.
  • This event should be of the interests of audience from the IoT society, people working in the NHS, manufacturer and cybersecurity scientists and engineers. The event will also be a suitable platform for networking and information sharing for scientists, engineer, medical professionals and PhD students.
  • Given that both IoT and healthcare are very relevant to people’s everyday life, the TPN(s) will work with Local Networks to attract the general public to attend the event.

Clinicians are able to submit problems which should be solvable by a team of STEM undergraduate students. We know things can get busy, so the amount of involvement is up to you. You could just attend the event to outline your problem or, ideally, you would become an active member of the team and provide feedback on the solutions as they are being developed.

Students attending will be able to apply their knowledge to discuss, brainstorm and solve real world problems in teams. The teams who identify the solution will maintain intellectual property rights to that solution.

Gesture based control interfaces are becoming ubiquitous in our daily lives.

We use gestures to interact with our appliances, smartphones, electronic devices and, more recently, virtual and augmented environments.

The availability of these solutions has been made possible by a new generation of camera tracking devices.

One drawback of gesture based interfaces is their lack of physicality, feedback, and sense of agency.

Recent developments in ultrasound technologies have bridged this gap and made it possible to combine gesture interfaces with haptic feedback.

In this presentation, Rob Malkin, Senior Research Engineer at Ultrahaptics, will discuss how this is achieved, will describe some of the research taking place in this space, and also the commercial applications that are on the horizon.

There will also be a demonstration as part of the event.

A techUK panel discussion exploring how Health & Social Care services can be transformed using 5G networks.

The health and social care sectors are starting to explore and adapt new devices and technologies in the care of patients. Digital connectivity is an essential, though often overlooked part of this work and many are unaware how it can transform this sector.

The option for a 5G network can open up fresh opportunities for the development and delivery of health care systems across the UK. From remote patient monitoring and using real-time data in urgent responses for diagnostic conditions to VR/AR capabilities for staff training purposes.

The Government emphasises in its Digital Strategy the importance of building a world-class digital infrastructure for the UK. It has a clear ambition for the UK to be a global leader in the next generation of mobile technology (5G) and how it could also support significant efficiencies in public service delivery such as health services and education.

This event will explore how 5G can transform future healthcare applications and services and the connectivity required to facilitate these services. This includes evaluating diagnostics with the upcoming fifth generation network data and diagnosing, monitoring and treating patients in hospital and in the home around the UK.

The aim is to raise awareness of digital connectivity in the healthcare sector and highlight the work of organisations operating in this field (ranging from innovation centres, industry and SME’s) using products, networks and services that are directly helping patients, citizens, and health and care professionals.

Background

The Microchip Zero Touch Secure Provisioning Kit for AWS (Amazon Web Service) IoT helps designers to quickly and securely develop IoT devices that are in compliance with the AWS security regulations.

Incorporating Microchip pre-configured ATECC508 CryptoAuthentication devices into a system is a very secure method to connect to the AWS IoT service. It leaves the whole handling of certificate and private key manipulation to Microchip secure provisioning factories in addition to keeping credentials away from software and users.

In addition to the ATECC508, the kit includes a Cortex-M4 ATSAMG55 and Wi-Fi ATWINC1500 using FreeRTOS and the ATWINC1500 integrated TLS stack.

Start with the upgraded Zero Touch Provisioning Kit for AWS IoT Version B and benefit from the new provisioning scripts and AWS IoT account configuration scripts. In this hands-on session attendees will learn to provision this WIFI based AWS solution and see the kit interacting with the AWS website.

Sensor City and G by Grant Thornton are pleased to be running this R&D Tax Credits session.

The latest figures show that last year 22,000 SME’s in the UK accessed over £1.3 billion through the R&D tax credit regime. Yet there is still a belief that the relief is being under claimed due to lack of awareness and perceived complexity in the claims process.

In this session Matt Foddy (Senior Innovation Tax Manager at Grant Thornton) will demystify the process around claiming R&D tax credits by covering:

  • pragmatic approaches to preparing claims
  • risk areas to be aware of
  • ways to ensure your claim is maximised.

AGENDA

  • 8:30am – Registration
  • 9am – Start
  • 10:30am – Networking
  • 11am – Close

Places are limited for this free event, so please sign up early to avoid disappointment.

Matt says: “There certainly is still a lack of awareness and understanding about the relief. I meet a lot of businesses that don’t realise the extent to which the product development, process optimisation or systems development work they’ve been doing can qualify. The starting assumption would be that any company accessing support through Sensor City will be undertaking a qualifying R&D activity which should make them eligible for the relief. Also, often companies that are claiming the relief aren’t claiming all they could.

Our job is to help our clients understand how what they have done fits within the rules, helping them form a view on whether, and to what extent, they’ve done R&D. It’s also to help them capture the right information, and then manage the claims process and make it as simple as possible so that it isn’t in any way complicated, onerous or frustrating for the company.

“It is a great scheme and is different to most tax reliefs in that it doesn’t just reduce a company’s tax burden, but can also lead to cash payments from HMRC for companies that don’t have profits. The process of claiming a cash credit can be more straight forward than claiming many forms of R&D grant, and companies often find they are eligible to claim in respect of things they’ve already done, and expenditure already incurred. In these cases it’s simply a case of preparing the paperwork and payment can usually be secured within a month of submitting the claims.

26 Apr 17:00 - 19:30

Join us for an exclusive evening at Sensor City where award-winning Emily Walker, Executive Support Officer to the Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research, Scholarship and Knowledge Transfer at Liverpool John Moores University, will be delivering a presentation on “The impact of technology on the evolving role of a PA”.

Description

Up to 60% of IoT value is currently locked by a lack of interoperability.

Sensor City is running this IoT Interoperability event to get people thinking more about the interoperability of sensor data and the solutions available to achieve its full potential.

Join us to:

  • hear how Siemens’ MindSphere provides a single platform to allow capture of data generated by IoT applications – allowing companies to advance their IoT strategy;
  • how IoTic Labs have responded to the cyber security issues relating to data sharing; and
  • why Prof Michael Fisher believes that we need to think beyond interoperability

Agenda

  • 5:00pm – Registration
  • 5:15pm – Introduction to Sensor City
  • 5:30pm – Megan Lovett, Siemens MindSphere
  • 6:00pm – Mark Wharton, IoTic Labs
  • 6:30pm – Michael Fisher, University of Liverpool
  • 7:00pm – Questions and networking
  • 8:00pm – Close

Who should attend?

This free event will be beneficial to corporates, SMEs and academics who are keen to understand more about IoT and Sensor data interoperability.

Book your free place today, using this Eventbrite registration link.

Speaker background

We will be joined by three experts in the field:

Megan Lovett, Product and Partner Executive, MindSphere – Siemens

Megan is passionate about working on creative projects within the digitalisation arena, and inspiring future generations to be a part of Industry 4.0.

At Siemens, Megan’s work focuses around MindSphere – a cloud-based, open IoT operating system that connects products, plants, systems, and machines, enabling businesses to harness the wealth of data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) with advanced analytics.

At this event, Megan will talk through the Siemens’ MindSphere system in further detail, describe its applications and benefits and draw upon case studies to further demonstrate its capabilities.

Mark Wharton, Co-Founder, Iotic Labs

Mark Wharton is CTO and co-founder of Iotic Labs, in charge of the technical team and direction. During his 35-year career in IT, Mark has experience in areas as diverse as large databases and mobile comms. He has been fascinated with the semantic web for knowledge management, but now has focussed on the goal of autonomous interoperability, where machine-readable semantics can drive a diverse set of solutions with minimal human intervention.

Mark will discuss how the emerging world of the IoT has many challenges, two of the greatest of which are security and interoperability. The diversity of solutions and approaches in the IoT has shown traditional, people-oriented Internet solutions to be lacking when presented with the requirements of a true machine-oriented Internet of Things.

Encouraged by the recent trend towards micro-services, digital twins and event-driven systems, Mark will reveal how Iotic Labs has created a secure interoperability layer where the physical and virtual interact seamlessly. Machines use semantics to find, bind and understand data from other machines securely. Business operations have the tools to introduce innovations with minimal impact to their day-to-day activities, and the confidence to know that they can mitigate risk of cyber-attack.

Michael Fisher, Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool, and Director of the University’s Centre for Autonomous Systems Technology.

Prof Fisher is a Fellow of both the BCS and the IET, member of the BSI AMT/10 committee on Robotics and the IEEE P7009 Standard for Fail-Safe Design of Autonomous Systems, and lead the UK Network on the Verification and Validation of Autonomous Systems.

At this event, he will explore why interoperability is useful, but not sufficient for future systems, and how we can move towards greater transparency and then on to broader responsibility.

This will be important when we need to be clear/precise about where, and why, decisions are made and has a strong link to international efforts not only in transparency, but responsibility and ethics.

Do you have a NEAT housing idea?

Halton Housing are calling for companies with Novel Environmental Assessment Technology (NEAT) to participate in their upcoming Challenge event.

The deadline for applications is Monday 26th March at 4pm.

Challenge background

With 7,500 homes in the Runcorn and Widnes area in the North West of England, Halton Housing are an innovative and trail-blazing housing trust with a firm commitment to investment in technology – a recognised key to reduced overhead costs and optimum customer service.

Other than occasional manual inspections, Halton Housing have no ongoing visibility of the current state of housing stock. Various consumer smart home kits have been trialled with varied results and the Trust is now seeking a scalable solution to the challenge of remote, predictive monitoring of environmental issues, with a particular emphasis on damp, mould and other humidity/ temperature related issues.

This will allow for pre-emptive maintenance works to avoid damage to properties and any impact on the health and wellbeing of residents.

The Challenge

Halton Housing are calling for solutions which have the ability to predict environmental issues before they arise and move from reactive to pre-emptive maintenance of housing stock.

Who should apply?

Companies with technologies that can help to address the above challenge.

Rules of Engagement

Proposed technology should be capable of immediate deployment within an identified trial base of 50 houses.

Successful applicants will be invited to interview in closed session with Halton Housing and Sensor City experts and must be prepared to present non-confidential information only.

Pitches should cover:

  • What the technology is
  • Where is has been applied previously
  • Evidence of capability to implement mass roll-out

High Level Technology Requirements

> In-situ environmental sensors in houses feeding back to an aggregated point in the cloud that runs over a low cost, low impact infrastructure.

> It is expected that suitable technology will operate over a LoRa network and access to this will be provided for non-commercial trial purposes.

> Early identification of when a property is starting to suffer from moisture / humidity related issues and provision of a live health report for homes, so that the Trust can stage an intervention with a pre-emptive repair or advise customers on behaviour changes.

> Ability to interface this information with the Trust’s existing CRM via an automated workflow.

> Capable of scalable roll out over a large amount of stock.

Key dates

  • Tuesday 20th March (11am–12pm) = Pre-bookable, 10 minute Q&A phone sessions with problem statement owners. (Please specify if you would like to take up this opportunity when registering and provide a phone number for us to call you on. Calls available on a first come, first serve basis).
  • Monday 26th March (4pm) = Deadline for challenge response applications the Eventbrite registration page.
  • Tuesday 27th March = Successful applicants will be notified if they have been selected to pitch their proposed solutions to an expert panel.
  • Monday 9th April = Shortlisted applicants will pitch to the Halton Housing panel in a closed session at Sensor City.

Why apply?

All successful applicants will receive feedback and Halton Housing aims to take applicants successful at the pitch stage forward to a Proof of Concept stage, with the aim of putting a prototype into field trials with a base of 50 identified homes by the end of April.

Proof of Concept deployment is flexible depending on requirement, but would be a partnership likely to be between 8 and 12 weeks in duration.

Halton Housing and Sensor City aim to follow up pilot work with a workshop event for other housing associations to highlight the benefits of the work undertaken, thereby facilitating market access for suitable technologies.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

LCR 4.0 at Sensor City, in association with DJB Instruments UK, will be running a free, half day training course on the science and practical use of accelerometers.

It is aimed at maximising the quality of your data looking at the correct techniques for each application, from the principles of operation and accelerometer types, through to factors such as the importance of correct cable use, noise control and mounting methods.

There will be an opportunity for a Q&A session at the end and light refreshments will be provided.

COURSE CONTENT

Principles of operation – Piezoelectric effect, materials used

Accelerometer types and correct selection – Construction, charge output, IEPE, temperature effects, mass loading, sensitivity, common problems, pros and cons

Importance of correct cable use – low noise or non-low noise, what happens if you get it wrong, signal loss, tribo-electric noise, cable fixing, connectors

Mounting methods and which to use – stud, wax, adhesive, magnets, tape, which and why, isolation, ground loops

Associated instrumentation – Charge amplifiers, IEPE voltage conditioning, data acquisition

AGENDA

  • 9:15am – Registration
  • 9:30am – Training starts
  • 11:00am – Break
  • 11:15am – Training continues
  • 12:30pm – Q&A
  • 12:45pm – Networking and refreshments

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS DELEGATES

“I found the course very interesting and feel it gave me some very useful information and turned me into a far more conscious accelerometer user.”

“The presentations themselves were excellent, detailing the basics all the way up to the advanced concepts has given me a lot to think about in our own internal setup. The presenters were knowledgeable and were always keen to answer questions, even on specialist or challenging topics.”
