b'OUTSTANDING INNOVATIONIN MANUFACTURING 4.0 AWARDThis award celebrates innovation in designing, developing and making the things people need. Ourfocus is to recognise the work, leadership and transformation of those companies that are committedto innovation and adapt to the new era of Industry 4.0.AidriversAI enabled autonomous retrofitting solution for industrial mobility automationThe autonomous retrofitting systems includes hardware, sensors and robotics with software which can beapplied to any vehicle and crane (particularly in the seaport industry) for autonomous operations includingenabling solutions like AIRS -drive-by-wire retrofitting and autonomous intelligent retrofitting system with responsive vehicle drive manager designed for complex vehicles and engines.Mid UK RecyclingVolumetric SensorOn the belts of a waste recycling and recovered waste fuel production plant, these innovative units use an ultrasonic sensor to measure the height to the material with millimetre accuracy and a doppler radar unit todetect the belt moving. The information is processed in an Arduino mega 2560 which also has a web serverthat allows the parameters to be adjusted across the network.TG0 Touch, gesture, pressure and deformation sensing smart materialsTG0 offers a platform technology replacing electronic sensor networks with one flexible conductive materialthat senses touch. The resulting material produces three-dimensional controls that are ergonomic, intuitiveand engaging. The material is uniformly moulded and no mechanism is housed within either. Instead, theelectrical signal output is generated through touch and transmitted to a microprocessor for analysis.3D Microfluidics LLCHybrid Laser PrintingThe proprietary Hybrid Laser Printing (HLP) technology will enable quick, cost-effective, and scalable printingof precision microfluidic devices with channel dimensions 1-25m. HLP technology can potentially replacethe current gold standard of photolithography and provide a new way to manufacture high-resolutionmicrofluidics devices. eandt.theiet.org/innovation#eandtawards 22'
