13 Jul 2017

Sensor Coating Systems Ltd (SCS), wins the Barking & Dagenham Chamber of Commerce, Business of the Year Award and Innovation Award 2017

For its high-tech thermal mapping technology

By Admin

The company’s novel thermal history technology will replace current industry standard thermal paints and offers very significant advantages in power generation, aero engines, in the automotive industry and in other relevant high-temperature industrial applications.

This award recognises the Best of the Best. It is awarded by the judging panel and is only open to the winners of each of the other categories. SCS were winners of the 2017 Innovation category, with the judges hugely impressed by the innovation. They felt that Sensor Coating Systems stood out as impressive across its entire business through what has been achieved to make such an innovation. They beat off tough competition to be the winners of the 2017 Barking & Dagenham Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year. – Mary Clements, Barking & Dagenham Chamber of Commerce

Award Ceremony

After winning the Innovation category the judges selected Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) over eleven other winners as the Business of the Year 2017 in Barking & Dagenham. The selection process included site visits of the shortlisted businesses. Sensor Coating Systems relocated from Imperial College London in South Kensington to Londoneast-UK, the new Business & Technical Park, the former Sanofi pharmaceutical site, close to Dagenham East tube station in September 2016.

SCS occupies the former quality control and R&D laboratories. Since the relocation, SCS continued growing and provides several high tech engineering jobs across different technical disciplines such as physics, chemistry, electronic and mechanical engineering and more recently robotics. SCS has a global reach with a developing customer base specifically in the US and Europe.

The 2017 Barking & Dagenham Chamber of Commerce Business Awards took place at The Roundhouse, Dagenham on Thursday, 13 July with more than 200 business people attending the Black Tie event.

We are very pleased receiving both awards. The team has settled well after moving into the new premises in September 2016 and the award shows we are now an integral part of the business community here in Barking & Dagenham. – Dr Jörg Feist, SCS, Managing Director

About Sensor Coating System Limited

Sensor Coating System Limited (SCS) pioneers sensor technology based on luminescence materials for engineering applications in demanding environments. Its award-winning technology (British Engineering Excellence Award, Royal Society of Chemistry, American Society of Mechanical Engineers) enables accurate temperature detection, corrosion and erosion monitoring and lifetime predictions and, in doing so, assists in optimising the operation of machinery, lowering fuel costs and maintaining material integrity.

About the Thermal History Technology

The Thermal History Technology is a unique luminescence-based sensing technology which enables engineers to record past temperatures on inaccessible components. The temperature measurement capability reaches from around 150°C to 1,400°C. This makes the technology very useful for the evaluation and design of mission-critical components in harsh environments such as a gas turbine or internal combustion engines.

The materials used in the Thermal History Technology have innate luminescence which permanently changes due to thermal exposure, allowing the temperature to be measured by non-destructive excitation and detection of the luminescence light. The measurement device can be scanned across the surface to produce an accurate thermal profile of the surface. The materials are deposited using techniques pioneered for the most challenging applications and can survive for a long duration under high thermal and mechanical loads, offering both short- and long-term measurement of thermal characteristics.
