ERA provides a comprehensive sensor design and consultancy service, encompassing research on novel sensor technologies, the use of commercial off-the-shelf sensors in new applications, and the integration of sensors with telemetry systems including wireless and fieldbus solutions.

We have specialist skills in image processing, software and digital hardware to implement these techniques for real-time operation. Examples of projects undertaken include:

	Fuel vapour sensors qualified for use in airborne military applications
	Microwave and millimetre wave radar sensors for detecting and classifying vehicles
	On-line pipe inspection
	On-line rail track fault detection system
	Optical/IR imaging systems for traffic monitoring
	Real-time surface inspection systems for product quality control
	Remotely monitored strain gauge for use in high temperature (>600C) environments
	RF safety cut-out system based on commercially available proximity sensors
	RF tags for motorway tolling applications
	Specialist sensors for security screening at air, road and sea terminals
	Surface penetrating radar for the measurement of road thickness
	Tyre pressure monitoring system based on a micro-engineered pressure sensor
