i-BA is a real time locations analytics company that captures difficult to get data which is analysed and delivered to create a decision support system - kpi dashboard - for airport security processing hall operations of their passenger queues. Queue and passenger flow management and capacity predictions allow for efficient resource optimisation. We have created and deployed ‘remote’ ‘standalone’ mini sensors with deep dive data capture i.e. we can wake up smart devices in close proximity to sensor, capture online web viewing behaviour and other data accessed from the smart device. Using a powerful data visualisation tool we can demonstrate how everybody in the security queue could be related / connected to each other in real time.

Intelligent, versatile and scalable system AI products developed for both Commercial and Security sector industries.

We are a new start SME engaged in the capacity of strategy, programme, project, engineering design and construction management within defence, energy and infrastructure sectors.

Manufactured in the UK, LifeSaver products are portable water filters that are pressurised by hand.  This air pressure is pushed into the container which then forces water through the pores of an ultrafiltration membrane cartridge and out through the exit nozzle leaving microbiological contamination behind. Our technology provides a physical barrier against waterborne microbiological contamination such as viruses, bacteria and cysts. No chemicals or electrical power is required.

• Reduced sustainment burden

• Enables the operatives to scavenge water on the go, lightening their load

A CONTINUUM OF INNOVATION

From the beginning, iDirect has taken a visionary role in VSAT, helping to shape the industry by breaking down long-standing barriers. In a landmark innovation, we developed an IP-based system that mirrored the quality and reliability of terrestrial communications 
to deliver, for the first time in satellite history, enterprise-quality applications. This breakthrough helped transform satellite from a “technology of last resort” to a powerful, diverse solution able to handle core network applications and take broadband into the 
heart of critical enterprise, military and public sector operations. We were first to bring business-quality IP applications to the TDMA VSAT market. Our native IP design, advanced IP routing and Quality of Service (QoS) technologies allow our Platform 
to integrate seamlessly with terrestrial networks. This was a major game changer for service providers — they now had the technology to build and deliver high-quality service that could generate fresh demand for satellite connectivity. For sustained success, we knew that a higher degree of flexibility and scalability was essential. From the start, we have based our development approach on one universal set of requirements to enable service providers to meet any customer requirement, no matter the application, bandwidth, satellite, frequency, or topology. We ensured that our hub and line card system, remotes, and operating and management software all had the flexibility to handle the most diverse market needs for fixed or mobile communications. The result is the iDirect Intelligent Platform™, the industry’s gold standard in performance, efficiency, functionality and flexibility.

Hot Form Quench (HFQ®) is the lightweighting technology standard for cost- effective, complex geometries for high-strength aluminium pressings by reducing weight for simpler, stronger structures. The HFQ technology is a hot forming production method for stamping complex-shaped aluminium components from high and ultra-high strength alloys.  

The HFQ process press forms hot aluminium blanks at high speed, which are quenched in the press tool, followed by artificial ageing to achieve full strength. The technology enables extremely complex aluminium parts to be formed in a single press operation, whilst achieving high levels of strength in the finished part using standard grade aluminium. 

The multiple benefits enabled by the HFQ® Technology means that the process is being adopted across a vast range of applications and markets, from automotive to architectural pressings. These benefits include reduced piece and investment cost, zero springback and increased design freedom. 

Impression Technologies has been instrumental in developing HFQ Technology, which is revolutionising the exploitation of aluminium. Impression Technologies provide the knowledge and expertise to support HFQ Technology, offering a fully tailored service to your engineering needs from concept to production.
