4. Product Development
• Stirling focus on Energy Market
- Energy from Waste
- Marine Renewables
- Waste Water
• Development of condition monitoring system for
waste infrastructure
- Industrial Partner
- Focus on mechanical plant, with wider operations to
be focussed on later
- Suitable for our other business areas
- Aero/Oil & Gas

5. AWEAR CM System

6. Innovation Vouchers
• The system is a good piece of engineering
• We also want it to be a good piece of design
• Engaged an external supplier (TSB IV)
• Re-skin the GUI
• Help develop the brand/identity
• ‘Tell the story’
• Make it clear that this is a Stirling system
• Discussion with a University (SWIV)
• Look at how humans gather information about their
visual environment

7. Summary
• Innovation Vouchers are an excellent way of funding
engagement with a supplier you wouldn’t normally
engage with
• Internally funded project, budget is tight, yet design
support may well prove the difference
• Likely to lead into follow-on work for supplier (app
development)
• Supplier can also potentially support in other areas of
our business
• Relatively simple application process
- Good support available from SCB
