Zircon would like to thank all our guests who supported us at the IET Innovation Awards last night at The Brewery in London.  Whilst we didn’t scoop the grand prize, we were one of the 5 finalists in the transport category (out of  30 entries) and Zircon would like to congratulate the winners Antonov Automotive Technologies Ltd.

Brian Hunt, Zircon’s Managing Director, commented “It was a great night and I would like to thank the IET for its recognition of Zircon’s innovative 3D Train Graph product (more details).  It has been favourably received by many in the Rail Industry and we hope to see our efforts come to fruition in the coming months.”

Our engineer worked on our client’s site to support this upgrade project.   He was primarily responsible for creating an interface between our client’s control centre applications and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).
