Complex Insight - Understanding our world

In 2004/2005 our old Creator product was used  to build a concept 3D fault guided maintenance application for jet engines. The concept was  sensors in the jet engine would detect state and inform the ground grew  over a wireless connection maintenance need - and a 3d guided mainteance app would use the sensor data to drive the interactive electronic manual.  As sensor costs plummet, big data becomes established and mobile and wifi has driven advanced networked computing platforms into everyone's pocket - that concept now becomes very prescient. For manufacturers (and interface developers) sensor driven maintenance and performance measurement platforms are going to be a key new business growth area in the coming years.  Sensors and networks connect data. Software augments hardware. Insight drives opportunity. Interesting times.

This year's event is likely to be a tipping point for UK environmental monitoring and will undoubtedly help inform future UK govt  and industry policies. The results of the research and different network configurations  showcase will be of interest to anyone using environment sensing data be it in simulations (like us) or for direct data analysis.
