Clean Futures Project Award

After months of dedication and hard work from the Taraz team, we were thrilled to present and showcase our innovative optical measurement solution at the Clean Futures Programme Demo Day, held at Coventry's Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME). It was a fantastic way to celebrate our team's hard work and the successful completion of the project with Connected Places Catapult.

We’re honoured to have received this award for the Clean Futures Project 2024/25, celebrating our successful delivery of an innovative AI-powered solution that’s redefining hole inspection in industrial settings. 

During the live demo, we showcased the precision of our ASM system by measuring the dimensions and positioning of holes, with real-time hole detection results displayed to highlight the system’s speed, accuracy and reliability. 

At Taraz, we’re proud to contribute to the Green Industrial Revolution with our innovative optical measurement quality control system for electric vehicle manufacturing. It was an invaluable opportunity to connect with fellow SMEs and industry leaders, exchange ideas, and gain insights into the latest advancements in shaping the future of sustainable manufacturing. 

A huge congratulations to the Taraz team! This achievement is a testament to the collaboration, creativity and technical excellence of our incredible team.
