Director R&B Industrial & SmartAIR Technologies Ltd.(SAT). Revolutionising industrial, commercial & domestic ventilation with cutting edge technologies to improve air quality and energy efficient heating and cooling, transforming the built environment
SmartAIR Technologies Ltd develops ML-driven airflow management solutions that eliminate severe energy waste in industrial LEV and commercial HVAC ventilation systems. By pairing proprietary algorithms with novel energy-harvesting, wireless sensor hardware, our technology autonomously learns, monitors, and optimizes ventilation in real time; cutting fan energy usage by up to 90% while ensuring full health and safety compliance. Core Innovation & Value Proposition · Proprietary DDS Technology: Our novel Dust Deposition Sensing (DDS) allows for the safe relaxation of main duct velocity limits. By dynamically minimizing required airflow and static pressure, SmartAIR+ unlocks radical energy reductions without compromising safety. · Zero-Downtime Retrofit: Self-powered, wireless sensor architecture eliminates expensive wiring, enabling rapid, cost-effective installations and flexible system modifications. · ATEX-Certified Safety: Engineered for high-risk industrial environments, our ecosystem is ATEX-certified for deployment in potentially explosive atmospheres. · Process & HSE Protection: Delivers automated digital audit trails for regulatory compliance, prevents hazardous exposure, and reduces costly product loss caused by over-extraction. Next-Stage R&D: Integrated Thermal & Heat Pump Optimization We are actively advancing our algorithms to build real-time dynamic thermal models/ digital twins of industrial, commercial, and domestic spaces. By partnering with Heat Pump (ASHP), AHU manufacturers we aim to co-develop an integrated ecosystem that optimizes heating, cooling, indoor air quality, and energy consumption across entire buildings.
I joined my father in 1999, growing R&B Industrial from garage to a leader in industrial ventilation with 25 staff and complete fabrication facilities.
We provide turnkey industrial ventilation systems with a unique one-stop approach, handling design, bespoke manufacturing, and control panels. Our service extends to comprehensive consultancy, including LEV testing & servicing, DSEAR, air quality and noise workplace assessments, a truly unparalleled offering in the industry.
With my HND in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and nine years as a Controls Systems Applications Engineer at ABB, I bring deep technical expertise to our solutions, including formal BOHS / LEV qualifications (P601, P602, and P604), together with competency in noise monitoring and DSEAR risk assessments. I have excellent commercial awareness of the sector.
My passion for sustainability drives our innovation. Beyond personal ventures like the Tower Power 2024 charity challenge, I am very proud of my team and the work carried out to develop the SmartAIR+ technology, embodying the dedication to both environmental responsibility and cutting-edge industrial solutions.
