Ocius Technology – winner in the ‘Advanced Manufacturing’ award category
Ocius Technology was nominated for their Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) technology. These vessels harvest energy at sea including wind, solar and wave energy to power the vessels and incorporate autonomous navigation, information gathering and communications systems. A variety of applications for this technology have been identified including oceanography, oil and gas exploration.
Melvelle Equipment – winner in the ‘Global Development’ award category
Melvelle Equipment was nominated for their portable railway track maintenance system, in particular their E-Clip remover which is a machine that removes fasteners to enable railway tracks to be separated from railway sleepers. This technology provides an improvement upon existing manual techniques.
