MALVERN, United Kingdom,
April 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Metrasens, a leading provider of advanced magnetic
detection technologies, was honoured today as a winner of the
Queen's Award for Enterprise 2018 in the category of Innovation.
The company earned the distinction for its ground-breaking work in
advanced screening capabilities designed to enhance safety and
security around the world. This is the second consecutive year
Metrasens has received the Queen's Award. In 2017, the organisation
was recognised in the category of International Trade.
Metrasens has installed its cutting edge ferromagnetic detection
systems (FMDS) widely around the world. Its innovative approach
combines advanced magnetic detection technology with product design
that is customised for the specific needs of various customer
groups and applications.
Metrasens' solutions are used in hospitals to ensure patient
safety in MRI suites; are deployed in prisons to detect dangerous
contraband and smuggled cell phones; and are increasingly
implemented in secure government and commercial facilities to
provide physical data security. The company's most recent
innovation is a screening system that can be used at a variety of
venues – such as sports arenas, large scale events like concerts
and at corporate campuses – to detect threats involving weapons of
mass casualty, without disrupting the flow of people.
"Our unique technology provides capabilities traditional
security systems cannot, and is making a tangible difference in
more than 40 countries worldwide," stated Metrasens CEO, Dr. Simon
Goodyear "We are constantly looking at new and innovative ways to
deploy our core technology, with an intrinsic focus on making
people safer through cutting-edge screening methods. To be
recognized with the Queen's Award in the category of Innovation is
a testament to the unprecedented advancements achieved by our team
of physicists and engineers. It is also a perfect complement to the
recognition we received from the Queen's Awards last year in the
International Trade category for our successful business
growth."
The Queen's Awards have been recognised as the UK's most
prestigious business accolades since they were established more
than 50 years ago.
