AMA Innovation Award 2021 for two development teams
The AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement has awarded the AMA Innovation Award 2021 to two teams. Due to the pandemic, the winners were announced digitally on May 3, 2021 at the opening event of Sensor and Measurement Science International (SMSI 2021).
This year's AMA Innovation Award, which comes with prize money of 10,000 euros, was shared equally between two development teams. Both developments impressed the jury with their high level of innovation and clear market relevance.
The General Electric Research Center team: Dr. Radislav A. Potyrailo, Richard St-pierre, Dr. Aghogho Obi, Dr. Baokai Cheng, Dr. Christopher Collazo-Davila, Dr. Brian Scherer, Dr. Hilary Lashley Renison, Dr. Andrew Burns
© AMA AssociationA team of developers from the USA has received an award for gas sensors with dielectric excitation: With the introduction of a sensor excitation scheme as an alternative to classical resistance measurement, conventional semiconducting metal oxide materials (SMOX) are given new gas sensing capabilities. The excitation scheme offers a linear gas response (R² > 0.99), a dynamic gas concentration range of six decades, high baseline stability, reduced humidity effects and eliminated ambient temperature effects. The product has already been launched on the market with a partner. Currently, the General Electric Research Center team (Dr. Radislav A. Potyrailo, Richard St-pierre, Dr. Aghogho Obi, Dr. Baokai Cheng, Dr. Christopher Collazo-Davila, Dr. Brian Scherer, Dr. Hilary Lashley Renison, Dr. Andrew Burns) is collaborating with several other users in the consumer, industrial, medical, homeland security and other sectors.
The Endress+Hauser Level+Pressure team: Dr. Tobias Brengartner, Jan Schleiferböck, Dr. Sergey Lopatin, Andrey Dodonov, Pablo Ottersbach, Julia Rosenheim
© AMA AssociationThe second team was recognized for a compact and easy-to-use multi-sensor system, or rather for the multi-parameter measurement as a cloud-based sensor for fermentation 'QWX43': The multi-sensor system offers full transparency from the user's point of view at all times through the simultaneous output of density, viscosity, degree of fermentation, extract, alcohol and sugar concentration as well as other parameters. With the device, a brewer can monitor his process around the clock, log, document and save the progress. Valuable process evaluations such as the start and end of fermentation are carried out via the web interface. The system developed by the Endress+Hauser Level+Pressure team (Dr. Tobias Brengartner, Jan Schleiferböck, Dr. Sergey Lopatin, Andrey Dodonov, Pablo Ottersbach, Julia Rosenheim) is based on just two piezo tuning forks and strategically placed temperature sensors and is housed in a fully hygienically encapsulated metal housing.
This year, 29 innovative research and development teams competed for the AMA Innovation Award with their developments, including seven young companies.
