Red Sensors

We are a highly skilled group of entrepreneurial engineers, with strong management experience, who have worked across diverse markets ranging from marine positioning to factory automation and people tracking. The common theme of which has been determining the location of things and people through sensing the surroundings. We have successfully suppl... ied high quality solutions to companies large and small, including standard products and bespoke variations for specific customer requirements. Our extensive experience helps us to understand customer requirements and work with them to ensure goals are met in a timely and cost-effective manner. We have developed sensing products for the automotive, forklift truck and marine markets. With our expertise and our network of consultants and suppliers in lasers, optics, high-speed electronics, and software our small team have proved that they can rapidly design new products, and get them into the market. Ian co-founded Red Sensors with the aim of bringing novel 3D electro-optical sensing solutions to a wide range of industries. Ian originally carried out his PhD research in the early days of wind turbines for power generation which nowadays are making a significant contribution to our electricity needs. For much of his career, he has worked in the field of optical and laser measurement sensors for a variety of different applications. These include ultra-high precision optical metrology for the automotive industry and semi-conductor industries, laser navigation sensors for AGVs and vessel position sensing in the marine sector. Ian is a multi-disciplinary engineer and is the primary inventor on several patents in the field of electro-optics and laser metrology. He has worked at a technical and director level in the Guidance group of companies, two of which have been successfully sold to larger groups. An exit after the most recent sale led to the opportunity to set up Red Sensors.Read More
