Proeon finalists in EEEGR Innovation Awards

Proeon Systems were really pleased to have been shortlisted for the converted EEEGR innovation awards last week. The awards finals and presentations were held at the Premiere League, Norwich City football ground at an all-day event.

The innovation nomination was for the integrated safety control system developed in house, to bring together all the aspects of the CAP437 helideck regulation changes; Circle H illumination and Fire detection and suppression. The completion was stiff, with other presentations from boat mooring systems support measures, data management and reduced friction washer systems.

In the end however, despite a comprehensive presentation to the dragon’s den style judging panel Proeon was unable to lift the trophy on the evening.

Proeon shall endeavour to develop further innovations for future submissions, and hope to come away with some silver wear next year. To find out more about CAP437 please check out www.cap437.co.uk

PGA Event

Proeon is pleased to anounce we're hosting a major event; The PGA

The Proeon Golf Adventure (PGA) will be on the 15th of May and we’re looking for teams from companies who fancy a laugh playing Adventure golf at Norwich’s New Adventure golf centre.

The afternoon game will be a shot gun start off ‘a’ hole with a mixed group of 4-6 players made up from other company team members. Everyone will work their way round the course chatting, laughing and generally playing golf until you return to the hole you started on. It should take about 1hr to 1.5hrs depending on ball loss rate.

You then head back to the 19th hole for nibbles, add up your company team score, divide by the members in the team, and you have your team score! There will be a prize for team lowest score, individual worst score etc. Simples.

There will be the usual people from Proeon and perhaps a few that YOU feel might like to come along as well and knock their balls about, so invite them.

All clubs, cues, rackets, and balls will be provided…(if you wish to wear golf gear, there may well be a prize for funniest outfit)

Please let us know if you wish to register a team and for more details, as places are limited and are filling up quickly.

HSDE Agreement Signed

Proeon Systems have signed a significant agreement with Manchester based Gas Turbine control specialists AT Engine Controls (ATEC) the owners of the HSDE brand, to develop solutions and promote the HSDE brand into new markets.

The HSDE brand name is often found on legacy Gas Turbine control systems for Rolls Royce Allison engines et-al across the world together with the HSDE Digicon family of controllers. ATEC/HSDE has been servicing these and other HSDE products over the years, with little or no new core product development.

The new collaboration with HSDE and Proeon will see the development and support for new products and solutions, and a creep back to the forefront of Gas Turbine control for the HSDE brand name. 

John Bowden, Technical Director of ATEC said:

"The application base for HSDE systems is now much greater with operators looking to elongate budgets and squeeze running costs in the current energy pricing climate. HSDE see an opportunity to broaden the offering and grow into new markets." 

So watch this space for more news on HSDE and its solutions...
