Product Development: Full System Design and Optimisation

We understand that best performance is only achieved when the full system is challenged and developed. This is where IG can add significant value as our team aims to understand what required and desired characteristics are and how the system can be designed in the smartest way.

Did we ever think it would be possible to harvest energy from simply walking? Researchers at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have proven that this is possible with Gii.

Take a look at their published results on ScienceDirect.

“This discovery has enormous potential for the booming global Internet of Things (IoT) industry. Given the global need for alternative sources of green energy, Gii-Teng can potentially provide a sustainable source of power for the multitude of small electronic devices which we use in our everyday lives, bringing us one step closer to realising a greener and more energy-abundant future.” - Dr Carlos Garcia Nunez, Engineering and Physical Sciences Lecturer

This project aims to develop sensors which provide enhanced capabilities to robots, helping improve their dexterity and motor skills, through the use of accurate pressure sensors which provide haptic feedback and distributed touch.

“Our collaboration with Integrated Graphene has led to the development of advanced pressure sensor technology, which could help transform robotic systems.” - Professor Des Gibson, UWS Director of the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors and Imaging

It is led by the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) and supported by the Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering (SRPe) and National Manufacturing Institute for Scotland (NIMS) industry doctorate programme in advanced manufacturing. Read more about it here.

Verification and Validation

Our Six Sigma trained professionals are experts in verifying and validating products, ensuring the highest quality standards are kept.

We utilised Integrated Graphene over a 15 month period from mid 2017 to late 2018 to realise a complex moulded fluidics device. We found Integrated Graphene to be excellent in terms of understanding customer (LumiraDx) needs, innovating to find viable solutions, testing and proving the solutions and ultimately providing a working device. They have a wealth of experience, extensive in-house capability and skills that proved invaluable. 

I would have no hesitation in working with Integrated Graphene again on future projects or in fact recommending them to other medical device developers. 

There are very few good companies out there in the medical device innovation space, Integrated Graphene are up there with the best of them.”
