3D visualisation
We can offer licensing and other forms of cooperation concerning the developed products; consultancy in 3D modelling and data analysis; and longer term research cooperation in modelling, computer vision, real-time equipment control and robotics.
Value stream mapping
Value Stream Mapping provides a diagrammatic depiction of the entire supply chain to ensure a complete and shared understanding of what is happening at the different stages within it
Lean manufacture
Our academics and consultants can help in determining opportunities for cost effective productivity and efficiency increases, can assist in the reduction of waste from the manufacturing process and increase efficiency of production processes by automation
5S
The 5 s'are prerequisites for any improvement program. As waste is potential gain, so eliminating waste is a gain. 5S philosophy focuses on effective workplace organisation, simplifies work environment, and reduces waste while improving quality and safety.
Simulation of engineering environments
We provide a broad range of consultancy services which draw on a unique combination of systems engineering, operational analysis and technology capabilities
Object recognition and tracking
Over the years, we have developed several techniques for recognising and tracking 2D and 3D objects in real-time. These techniques are able to cope with variability of the lighting conditions, presence of clutter, background texture and general image noise.
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks.
Integrated Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management
Integrated Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Research Group is a multi-disciplinary research team with expertise to address different research facets.
Viewfinder
The Viewfinder project built an autonomous robotic system to establish ground safety in the event of a fire.
I-Swarm - Intelligent Small World Autonomous Robots for Micro-Manipulation
The I-SWARM project was awarded in December 2003 under the European Union Information Society Technologies (IST) 6th framework programme. It is a follow-up of the MiCRoN project.
