3D body scanning for medical applications

In collaboration with the Mayo Clinic, I developed a system to use an off the shelf 3D scanner to calculate volumetric data of body parts, to replace BMI with a new body index (BVI) that takes body proportions into account. The project had nationwide coverage on Sky and BBC. Software written in Java, implementing model loading and volumetric processing, and rendering using the Java 3D API.

Tracking of scrap vehicles using RFID

Forklift mounted RFID UHF scanners to automatically track the location of scrap vehicles in a salvage yard.

This required me to spec and deploy a large WiFi network, and in partnership with Mobile Mark install RFID antennae.  I wrote the software written in Java, using roof mounted GPS receivers, implementing differential GPS to increase accuracy, path optimisation and navigation, real time position (using JMS) and all the management functionalities.

nTAILS AIDC Centre

Funded by the EU, designed to showcase uses of AIDC/RFID across multiple sectors e.g. logistics, medical, food traceability, retail...

I designed all the aspects of the Centre, in physical terms (specifications, layout, demos, RF environment, dealing with the suppliers) and wrote the software (Java for interacting with the readers and realtime 3D visualisation of data, an Android application for mobile scanning, JavaEE on Glassfish and MySQL for the backend)

Optimisation Of shipping containers for Logistics

In partnership with Trans-Rak I designed an optimisation software to calculate the ideal placement of cars in containers. The project has received world-wide coverage.
