Case Studies

Improving the accessibility of public transport with AI

STFC Hartree® Centre and InSignLanguage through the support of the Innovate UK BridgeAI programme are setting a new standard for AI-driven accessibility for public transport, by developing a British Sign Language-to-English translator.

Quantum computing for smarter energy distribution

STFC Hartree® Centre worked with European electricity provider E.ON and IBM to research how quantum computing could accelerate the development of decentralised energy grids through the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI).

Harnessing geospatial AI for environmental resilience

STFC Hartree® Centre and IBM collaborated through the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) to detect climate-triggered events and monitor landscape changes in the UK using AI-driven satellite data analysis.

Reducing aircraft system certification timescales with AI

Aerospace engineering consultancy Novel Engineering worked with STFC Hartree® Centre to automate aircraft system Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA) by utilising AI effectively and reliably, through the Innovate UK BridgeAI programme.

Reducing 3D printing failures through temperature monitoring

Microfluidics consultancy Rapid Fluidics Ltd worked with STFC Hartree® Centre and the University of Cambridge to enhance 3D printing throughput as part of the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub (SMDH) programme.

Improving Electric Vehicle Batteries through Immersion Cooling Simulations

STFC Hartree Centre worked with Faraday Battery to explore the potential of immersion cooling to enhance electric vehicle battery efficiency through the Innovate UK A4I programme.

Streamlining Environmental Impact Assessments in construction with AI

Independent advisory firm Turley worked with STFC Hartree® Centre to simplify information extraction for Environmental Impact Assessments using AI. This initiative was supported by funding from the Innovate UK BridgeAI programme.

Monitoring soil health with AI

Rothamsted Research, STFC Hartree® Centre and IBM collaborated through the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI), and used AI to predict the carbon content of soil through a combination of microbial and environmental data.

Increasing chances of clinical trial success with AI and precision medicine

Through the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) programme, REPROCELL worked with the STFC Hartree® Centre and IBM to create a novel application capable of providing insights into precision medicine for clinical trial design.
