Amongst other successful projects Assured is involved with, 2018 sees the Stone based company working on:
Smart Energy Network Demonstrator (SEND) with Keele University
Sustainability is a priority at Keele University. In order to achieve this, the University is working with Assured Systems, other businesses as well as graduates and academics, to create Europe’s first ‘at scale’ Smart Energy Network Demonstrator (SEND) – a living laboratory where new energy-efficient technologies can be researched, developed and tested in a real-world environment.
Assured Systems is currently in the process of recruiting a graduate in collaboration with Keele University for a PhD qualifying position at Assured. The PhD student will help to develop the programming and technology, supporting areas of the Keele SEND project.
The SEND programme is part-funded through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) as part of the England 2014 to 2020 European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) Growth Programme.
Autonomous Driving
Our GPU computers supply the brains behind the self-driving car revolution. Autonomous driving is slowly becoming a reality and Assured Systems is supporting advanced and intelligent technologies with GPU computers, specifically designed for harsh environments like vehicles. As a company we are placing extra effort into industrial-grade GPU systems to accelerate the realisation of advanced, intelligent and pioneering technologies.
Providing IoT (Internet of Things) technology to the renewable energy sector in the US.
Working with manufacturers in the Far-East, Assured Systems is adapting existing hardware to solve communication problems in home solar energy systems, making the application to homes more efficient and performance more measurable through the collation and transmittance of data. As a direct result of this project, our footprint and manufacturing in our Greenville, South Carolina base is growing exponentially.
“Science and technology drives Assured Systems. What we demonstrate is how we are entering the forefront of new technologies for the future and how these technologies are the focus for Assured’s growth strategy,” Says Stuart Martin, CCO, “We are proud of our achievements thus far and are proud to be shortlisted for this award.”
