The Ethical and Sustainable Engineering Company
We specialise in designing and creating tech solutions that improve the lives of people: by what these solutions do, how they are made, how they are recycled at the end of their effective use.
Because we care for where we live.
Engineering
We focus our engineering on innovative solutions that support our and our clients’ goals of creating smart, safe and sustainable products and technology.
Projects
We undertake innovative commercial projects with industrial partners, plus we do our own internal projects, these often part financed by grants and awards.
Applications
Most of our innovative work is focussed on solutions for products made of rubber and elastomer based materials, some of which we power with energy harvesting.
Smart
Where data generated by tags and sensors, empowered by AI, can leverage the opportunity to improve performance.
Safe
All about safety engineering, safety analysis, as well as technology and data security.
Sustainable
The ability to maintain and support a process over time: in design, manufacturing, operation and recycling.
Silent Sensors is an innovative company that designs and creates smart tags and sensors.
Embedded in rubber and elastomer based materials and powered by energy harvesting and micro batteries where needed, these tags and sensors generate data from mobile assets that help companies reduce costs, improve overall performance and extend an asset’s lifetime. The value is in the data. Our R&D is primarily focused on creating this vital component of the Intelligent Tyre, which itself is designed to provide more cost efficient tyres for commercial vehicles and logistics companies.Smart • Safe • Sustainable

Our Technology
RFID Tags
We use cutting edge additive printing technology to make a new generation of RFID tags. Light, flexible and robust, these tags can be fitted to physical assets made of rubber and polymers both in and after the manufacturing process.
Energy Harvesting
We are actively working on one of the most import issues of the day: generate energy so that tags and sensors can work ‘forever’. By eliminating the need to change batteries, tags and sensors can be built into physical assets without the cost of future maintenance.
Sensors
We work with expert partners to design and manufacture function-specific sensors that measure and monitor performance, and integrate with systems architectures. Our sensors can be fitted both in and after the manufacturing process.
Cloud and App
Telematics neutral with open APIs, data generated by tags and sensors is outputted directly to ERPs and other Cloud based systems. Dashboards and Apps for monitoring and managing lifecycle performance can be customised as needed
Tyre Lifecycle Management
For tyre manufacturers and resellers, fleet operators and managers, retreaders and remoulders.
A very cost effective way to monitor and manage a tyre throughout its life. Improves supplier efficiencies and operational performance; reduces risk of damage, loss and accidents; eliminates errors in recording data; keeps inventories balanced and properly valued.
Installed as in inlay during hot cure manufacturing process or as a patch for the After Market.
Unique identity which serves as a Certificate of Provenance to track and trace its physical location from manufacture to distribution, warehousing, usage, repair, retread and recycle at the end of its usable life.
• Frequency 433 MHz UHF
• Range up to 3 metres
• Read by Hub, Smartphone App and Reader
• Temperature reading accurate to ± 2°C
• Pressure measurement range • 0 to 92 psi
• Pressure reading accurate to ±1psi under normal pressure
• Operating temperature from -40° to +85°C
