North Walsham engineering company Ladbrook, and Dereham-based Westcotec have worked together to develop a new generation of electronic road signs that will help reduce accidents and save lives in built up areas. The new sign is called a 'Speed Roundel' and is an unobtrusive compact design that can be attached to streetlights and will illuminate on detection of traffic exceeding the speed limit. These types of signs are proven to not only calm traffic but also reduce fatalities.
"Our new 'Speed Roundel' has many advantages over existing designs," said Phil Hayton, Managing Director of Westcotec. "It is small and discreet when not active but very bright once activated. It is also powered from the electric supply within the street light, ensuring a much lower cost of installation. Another aspect of the design is a lightweight vandal-proof enclosure that will ensure the sign will remain working for many years.

On-Shoring Creates Demand for Qualified Engineers (published in Machinery Market)
A few years ago, 'out-sourcing' was a trendy term. Today, the new term seems to be 'On-shoring'. On-Shoring is the name being given to the recent trend of manufacturers looking to source components within the UK as opposed to low cost economies such as China or Eastern Europe. Engineering companies are reporting that many contracts are returning to the UK, so much so, that UK engineering companies are now struggling to recruit suitably qualified precision engineers.
During the past two years, many manufacturing companies have started to realise that sourcing abroad can incur many hidden costs. Read full article...

Energi to Oversee Leading Hi Tech Development Conference
Energi will be managing and promoting the Embedded Masterclass 2010 event to be held in both Birmingham and Reading on the 6th and 11th May.
