Integrated Display Systems Ltd
wins an Innovation Award for their clamp release tool usedin automotive manufacture. The company started tradingin 1979 and has won two previous Queen’s Awardsin International Trade (2012, 2014). The innovation uses sensorscommonly foundin mobile phones to track the motion signature of the tool. Closure of the clamp is detected by the specific motion leadingup to release and the characteristic vibration associated with release. The unique signature differentiates between other actions such asknocking the tool against other parts of the engine as it is being positioned. The clamps are usedin the industry to provide seals on fluidtransfer hoses and any clamps left open can lead to fluid loss and consequent expensive warranty claims.
