WHO IS BEHIND THE SUPPLY CHAIN

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]

The Technology Supply Chain is powered by AiPT which is part of Aston University.  AiPT stands for the Aston Institute of Photonics Technology. The biggest question that most business owners have is what is photonics?

Electronics are a big part of our modern life.  Electronic devices, e.g. computers, phones, remote controls etc. work by controlling electrons.  Photonics is about controlling photons which are particles of light- photo is the Greek word for light. This embraces lasers, optical fibres and other light technologies. Photonics is already in use in your life from providing broadband to your office and home to forming the “needle” which plays your CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.

Photonics is seen as an enabling technology and provides a range of solutions from sensing temperature, strain, gases, blood sugar levels and magnetic fields to the use of lasers for welding, drilling, cutting, and various methods of surface modification.

AiPT is keen to help manufacturing, engineering and technology firms to embrace the opportunities available to them.  They are doing this by creating the Technology Supply Chain through the Big Data Corridor project. This covers all the solutions that Aston University and its partners can provide businesses with.
