Emerging Technologies

Showcasing Innovation offers training and support in a number of emerging technologies, including:

Energy saving lighting

Traditional incandescent bulbs are to be phased out through legislation by 2016. Install the latest energy saving lighting now, and start saving money immediately. New energy saving lights cost between £24 and £139 per year less to run and use 80% less energy.

Applications include ambient and outdoor lighting, decorative lighting and commercial shelving.

Showcasing Innovation can provide an introduction to energy saving and monitoring products. We can introduce you to the concept of using an energy monitoring tool and help you reduce your energy costs and become more eco-friendly.

Smart coatings

Smart coatings have a multitude of purposes, including making products dirt-repellent, water repellent and resistant to bacteria and viruses. You can apply the coatings to different surfaces, including windows, cars and clothes, then you are left with products that can be cleaned with water alone. This reduces costs and improves environmental benefits.

Industries that can benefit include, but are not limited to, cleaning, fashion and textiles, automotive, construction, hair and beauty.

Showcasing Innovation can provide an introduction to smart coatings, practical demos and workshops, links to suppliers and commercially available products.

Touch and go tracking

With touch and go, you can track your assets and resources using wireless technology. The contactless technology is currently in use for payments, ticketing technology (e.g. Oyster cards) and for tracking inventories. Attach a low cost chip to an item you want to track, and you can keep remote tabs on its whereabouts.

Industries that can benefit include, among others, contract cleaning, security, service engineers, care workers, hospitality.
