The IET Innovation in Engineering Awards 2006
WINNER: Control, Instrumentation and Robotics

The IET Innovation in Engineering Awards recognise and celebrate excellence in engineering innovation across a range of industry sectors and engineering disciplines. Winners were selected from hundreds of entries from around the world by a distinguished panel of judges.

The Flownetix 300series® range of non-moving part consumer water meters were selected as the winner in the Control, Instrumentation and Robotics category. The judges commented that "this entry demonstrated a strongly innovative approach which transfers an established industrial measurement technique to a high volume 'consumer' application. Water management is an increasingly important societal issue and this development promises a means of straightforward and acceptable metering as a result of improved accuracy and reliability. Significant novelty is demonstrated in the use of a robust instrumentation technique in a cost and power-sensitive application. The product has markets worldwide and there is significant opportunity for business development."

The prestigious global awards were presented at a special ceremony at the IET's London HQ, Savoy Place, hosted by TV personality Adam Hart-Davis.

The awards have been supported by the Department of Trade and Industry. Lord Sainsbury of Turville, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Science and Innovation at the DTI attended the awards.
