Our specialisms
Equipment
As equipment becomes more
sophisticated and expensive, so the need for efficiency improvement intensifies.
Increasingly, these enhancements are data-driven.
We use our system design experience across
multiple disciplines to develop precision agriculture technologies, from metering
and mixing systems, novel and highly precise sensors to low-cost wireless
networks and data analysis platforms.
Growers & agri-business
Growers of all sizes face the challenge of producing more, from less resources. Furthermore, global labour shortages are necessitating ever greater levels of automation.
Our skills in machine learning and AI allow us to develop new methods to better predict yields and improve forecasting, while our expertise in robotics is enhancing the automation of harvesting, allowing growers to do more with less and stay one step ahead of demand.
Agri-chemical
Minimising waste and reducing unwanted side effects from chemical treatment have become increasingly important in the face of changing consumer demands and ever-tightening regulations.
Drawing on our skills in fluid dynamics and sensor technology, and our work in drug delivery, we devise methods for delivering treatments more effectively.
Additionally, we provide strategic consulting on the impact of digital farming techniques and the implications for next-generation products and services.
How we work
Our technically focused, commercially driven teams uncover novel solutions to long-standing challenges. Unlike academic research facilities, we focus on commercialising technology, creating robust, relevant products and services that are economically viable for large-scale deployment.
Drawing on our experience across the full spectrum of markets, we are uniquely positioned to design, develop and deliver solutions that leverage principles proven in adjacent industries.
By using our skills and experience to complement our clients’ deep industry knowledge, we create step-change products and services that maximise efficiency through reduced costs and improved yields.

Tech, tools & facilities
Satimo Stargate 64
無響無線・アンテナ試験を行う電波暗室 ”Satimo Stargate 64”は、ヨーロッパでも数少ない施設です。6m立法の空間で、無線デバイスからの電波伝播を自動で三次元測定・視覚化することができ、ウェアラブル技術のテストを人体模型または実際の被験者に対して行うことができます。スマートインプラント（埋め込みテレメトリをなど）、投薬デバイス、ウェアラブルなどの製品開発において、実際にRF性能を確認し最適化することができます。
Analytical labs
Our laboratories provide high accuracy measurement and analysis for the wide range of projects we undertake. Specialist equipment includes a gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GCMS), a Matersizer particle size analyser, a Spraytec laser diffraction droplet size analyser, high-speed and thermal imaging cameras and rapid-development custom image analysis software.
プロトタイプ生産工場
プロトタイプ生産工場（電子基板・メカ）では、アイデアを実現し、製品価値を説得力をもって実証するプロトタイプを生産しています。試作品は、ISO 9001、ISO 13485、およびISO 14001規制に準拠した極めて高い品質基準を維持しています。最新のCNCおよびフライス盤、旋盤、溶接ギア、ワイヤーハーネス、ケーブルアセンブリツールを使用することにより素早くパーツを製造し、検証作業やユーザートライアル用向けに実物大で動作可能なプロトタイプを組み立てることができます。
Synthetic biology lab
Located in our Cambridge head office, our microbiology lab enables us to genetically modify micro-organisms and characterise them. Our facilities are containment level 2 rated for handling pathogenic strains and our in-house libraries allow rapid modular DNA construct design and assembly. We are particularly interested in building organisms that are biological sensors for healthcare and industrial biotech applications.
Large prototyping facility
This 500 sq metre space near our Cambridge HQ enables the development and test of large scale systems such as warehousing, logistics and production machinery, and confidential testing of electro-mechanical, high power and RF systems in a realistic environment. This configurable facility features 6m operating height at the eaves, large access doors and mechanical handling facilities to allow heavy machinery such as conveyors, lifts and machine tools to be installed as project work demands.
We can help you achieve the impossible
