Markets
Sensor systems and S3C activities will impact a range of markets, many of which have significant areas of overlap. The underlying requirement is a need to sense, measure, process, communicate, and convert data into information, and present it to a decision-making authority, either machine or human.
The availability of low cost, high performance processing and communications hardware now permits the deployment of a densely populated sensor network with the ability to gather, communicate and concentrate vast amounts of data, then carry out advanced algorithms on the data to convert it into useful information. It is this transformation of data into useful information that particularly interests S3C.
In order to manage the areas where sensor systems have applications, the market has been divided into – Transport , Defence , Offshore, Renewables & Energy , Smart Grid , Pharmaceuticals & Drug Discovery , Healthcare , Manufacturing & Process Control , Environment & Agriculture , and Built Environment .
Projects & Case Studies
We support these markets through research projects – from small ‘proof of concept’ work, to detailed investigative research. Take a look at our Projects page for information on what we support, and our Case Studies section for detailed information on completed projects.
