Objective Buiding on our highly successful SME Instument Phase 1 Project, The Smart Actuator Company Ltd develops smart, RIFT Driven® actuators. Our first was delivered to market in Q3-2013. The system is proven to use 25% less copper, be 80% lighter and 75% more energy efficient than our competitors. Early success means that the first two years production scheduling is already sold to 90% capacity and The Smart Actuator Company now own global rights for the use of RIFT Technology in electrically powered actuators. Put simply, we believe our technology is a game changing product capable of delivering benefits worldwide by dramatically reducing;• energy required to automate everyday tasks in many applications• volume of raw materials, including copper and magnets, used to manufacture automated systems• inventory and therefore administration complexity• weight, thereby reducing fuel use in logistics and shipping• Carbon Footprint in manufacturing and distribution• need for sourcing manufacturing capability outside Europe Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcontrol systemsengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringsocial sciencessociologyindustrial relationsautomationengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energywind poweragricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculture Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.3. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Secure, clean and efficient energy Main Programme H2020-EU.2.3.1. - Mainstreaming SME support, especially through a dedicated instrument Topic(s) SIE-01-2015 - Stimulating the innovation potential of SMEs for a low carbon energy system Call for proposal H2020-SMEInst-2014-2015 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-SMEINST-2-2015 Funding Scheme SME-2 - SME instrument phase 2 Coordinator THE SMART ACTUATOR COMPANY LTD Net EU contribution € 2 287 620,13 Address FIRST FLOOR SHAW HOUSE 110-114 BARNARDS GREEN ROAD WR14 3ND MALVERN United Kingdom See on map SME The organization defined itself as SME (small and medium-sized enterprise) at the time the Grant Agreement was signed.
