Intelligent Monitoring Systems

Our key focus area is in using AI in intelligent monitoring systems and industrial applications, particularly where edge computing solves issues associated with transmitting large amounts of data for centralised processing. By combining with embedded systems and sensors, we are transforming research concepts into real-time applications that fit under the broad ‘Industry 4.0’ umbrella.
