This series of webinars being run by KTN to address which technologies will help the foundation industries to become more competitive while reducing their environmental impact.

Three cross-sector themes have been identified by sector experts as being particularly important for reaching 2050 targets:

Heat recovery and utilisation

Sensors, controls and digitalisation

Waste utilisation and symbiosis

Chris will be speaking at the Sensors, controls and digitalisation event.

The use of sensors to capture live plant data is becoming more common place in the foundation and manufacturing industries, but there is still a large amount of untapped potential. Discussions will include what data capture is still required, how it could be captured, and how can it can be used most efficiently to increase resource and energy efficiency. This discussion will include all stages of this process from sensor technology to data storage and management, and controls and process hardware, such as drives and burners, to fully embed digitalisation within the industries and move towards automated process management.

These webinars will address which technologies will help foundation industries to become more competitive while reducing their environmental impact
