Eriez Highlights Collaboration with Cardiff University

Eriez showcased its Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Cardiff University at the KTP@50 event earlier this month in Cardiff Bay. The partnership has played a role in advancing signal processing and electronic design for metal detection technology, contributing to the launch of the Eriez digital MetAlarm metal detector. The product, now manufactured in Bedwas, Wales, is supplied to customers across multiple regions.

The company says that its involvement in the KTP has expanded its research and development capabilities, leading to the formation of a dedicated team at Cardiff University's Spark|Sbarc innovation hub. Eriez has also secured InnovateUK funding for AI-driven metal detection applications and continues to invest in research with Cardiff University.

"Our partnership with Cardiff University underscores the power of KTPs in turning academic research into real-world industrial advancements. The strong market adoption of the MetAlarm demonstrates Eriez-Europe’s position as a dynamic, forward-thinking manufacturer and employer in South Wales, while solidifying our global leadership position in metal detection technology." said Gareth Meese, Managing Director of Eriez-Europe.
