Eriez has been awarded a £100,000 grant from Innovate UK, the research and innovation agency. This funding will accelerate Eriez’ research and development efforts in artificial intelligence (AI) for next-generation metal detection systems.

It will support a new feasibility study, designed to transform industrial metal detection in food and pharmaceutical processing, according to Christopher Dyer, Lead Research and Development Electronic Engineer at Eriez-Europe.

In addition, Eriez is earmarking a portion of these funds for an eight-month research programme in collaboration with Cardiff University. As part of this initiative, Dyer will oversee a group of distinguished experts from both Eriez and the university, including several Ph.D. researchers.
