In 2016, CPI’s activities within the UK healthcare sector grew exponentially. It had been partnering with clinicians to understand what they and their patients need and building networks between its partners and academics, biochemists, engineers, scientists and regulatory experts. 

A high-wind version of the 2.5m Nomadic Antenna from the ASC Signal Division of Communications & Power Industries (CPI) has been announced. The trailer mountable, carbon-fibre antenna is being sold to organisations for use in remote field deployment applications for defense and commercial industry customers.

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has successfully completed a project to create a novel printed energy harvesting device, which will play an important role in the development of packaging with electronic functionality. Powered by near-field communication (NFC) technology, the device will draw energy from the user’s mobile telephone, facilitating the wider adoption of NFC-enabled printed electronic components.

The ASC signal division of Communications and Power Industries (CPI) has been awarded a contract to provide three earth stations to Telekom Austria Group, the largest telecommunications company in Austria, for installation at the Austrian subsidiary A1’s Aflenz teleport in Styria. The 35 year old teleport has more than 50 earth stations and is among the largest teleports in Europe. 

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is leading a specialist consortium creating a world class UK manufacturing supply chain that will enable the widespread adoption of packaging incorporating Near-field Communication (NFC) based technology.

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is part of a consortium which is developing Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic (BIPV) devices that will enable windows of the future to not only generate their own solar power but also provide greater thermal control. The Innovate UK funded project, titled Power Generating & Energy Saving Windows, includes CPI alongside materials supplier Merck and leading BIPV producer Polysolar.

Waste is a big problem and the problem is getting bigger. Each year, Europe produces 242m tonnes of waste, 55% of which goes to landfill. Current solutions for dealing with municipal solid waste include landfill and incineration. These practices have detrimental effects on our environment, cost an increasing amount of money and are quickly becoming one of the world’s biggest problems.

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has acquired the digital prototyping assets of CIT Technology Limited (CIT) and, from today,   the technology will be available under the name of Inkjet Flex.

  Applied Nanodetectors is developing a simple breathalyser that will give diabetics a non invasive method for monitoring their daily glucose levels and has the potential to replace the ‘prick test’ methods used today.

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has recently partnered with NovaCentrix to install a specialist system designed for the high speed photonic curing of printed electronics inks. The NovaCentrixPulseForge1300 state-of-the-art system is the first of its kind in the UK to be available to clients on an open access basis and will aid the commercialisation of a host of applications.

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is part of a UK based consortium developing technologies that will spearhead the commercialisation of intelligent pharmaceutical packaging. The project titled ‘REMEDIES’, launched in 2014 and due for completion March 2018, is headed by GlaxoSmithKline with research led by the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Manufacturing. It brings together key players in the pharmaceutical supply ...

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has announced a UK-based consortium to develop a novel printed energy harvesting device that is powered by NFC. The device will facilitate the wider adoption of NFC-enabled applications in consumer packaging, document and brand security, in addition to wireless sensor networks for defence, healthcare and medical devices.

Imagine a world where disease outbreaks could be stopped at the source, a world where patients could receive personalised treatment for specific diseases and have it manufactured at their bedside. The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is working towards making this concept a reality by helping companies to scale down traditional biopharmaceutical manufacturing methods and develop new techniques for the future delivery of precision medicine.

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has announced that they are part of an £18m UK based collaboration to drive the commercialisation of new and improved powder based consumer products. The three year ‘Chariot’ project, which began in April 2014, aims to develop new innovations within the manufacturing supply chain for specialist powders.

NeuDrive acquired a portfolio of organic semiconducting material patents and the FlexOS trade mark from CPI Innovation Services (CPIIS), the commercial arm of the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI). In a series of related transactions, NeuDrive has also acquired patents and licences relating to OTFT technology developed by CPIIS, while securing a significant additional investment from its founding shareholders. 

In his 2014 autumn budget statement, Chancellor George Osborne has named the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) as the hub of a £28m National Formulation Centre. The centre will operate a ‘hub and spoke’ model, bringing the UK's existing knowledge base together with universities, innovation centres and businesses.

A sunscreen aerosol can, that identifies skin-type, sun levels and calculates the maximum “safe” time in the sun. A portable baby bottle that heats milk to the optimum temperature at the press of a button and drink cans that light up, emit sound and engage with your phone are just some of the innovative concepts that have been developed by Brunel University London in a recent industry-led design project

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has announced a significant investment in a new prototyping and development facility for printed electronic devices. Based at CPI’s Printable Electronics Technology Centre (PETEC), the facility will be uniquely positioned to work directly with the UK’s design, print and packaging industries to deliver cutting-edge electronic functionality into manufacturable printed products.
