The TRU Frontier Industries [some listed on right] tend to be in early stage of development or are going through a disruptive period due to breakthrough novel technological advances, market or other influence causing rapid change in these interrelated industries. A clear example is our mid-2017 assignment in which we are assisting a large US road infrastructure producer to find and implement manufacturing products to enhance the efficiencies of autonomous vehicle onboard sensors such using laser, radar, ultrasound, GPS and other advanced optical technology. In our Frontier Industries TRU Group strives for global leadership in its scope of practice including -
- Globally recognized expert individual team members
- Most advanced technically in both the engineering and fundamental science
- Most extended in industry capability from concept through production to detailed application
- Strongest sector-wide diverse capability at primary, secondary and all downstream levels
- Most business savvy in technology, managing, operating, finance, marketing and strategy at all levels
TRU Group are globally recognized leaders in lithium batteries technology as well as top ranked battery materials and critical materials consultants. We are also high profile in several other advancing industries or novel technologies such as photonic device / fiber optics [out of Tucson Optics Valley] photovoltaic solar cell experts (both for the materials and fabrication of them). Nealy all our work is custom and TRU Group takes on the role of "technology supplier".
Examples of a TRU Group Frontier Industries Assignment:
Manufacturing Opportunities in Autonomous Vehicle - Driverless Car - Sensor Technology & Artificial Intelligence – Enhancing Targets in Road Infrastructure to Aid Sensing Target Efficiencies
TRU Group Inc, June, 2017 - For a manufacturer in the road infrastructure industry in 2017 TRU Group examined manufacturing enhancements to improve the efficiency of onboard sensors in self-driving and autonomous vehicles. The technologies included laser, radar, ultrasound, camera, LIDAR, GPS and mapping sensors. Each have their own software and algorithms. TRU assessed developments in leading edge sensor engineering science and their integration / adoption in autonomous and driver-assisted vehicles. The work included examining potential spin-off from military, armament and aerospace industries. TRU Group identified manufacturing enhancements and is suggesting practical ways to implement them in order to maximize the opportunities in the autonomous vehicle sensor and infrastructure space, as driverless vehicles innovations boost technical capability from the SAE level 2/3 today in 2017 up to level 5 full autonomy in the future.
TRU Group Additive Manufacturing 3D Printing for in-line Manufacturing
TRU Group 2020 evaluated developed AM 3D Printing equipment for use on the production line for a global plastic component manufacturer. Assessed applicability and readiness of the equipment for adoption in the multiple facilities. Analysed issues such as manufacturing speed, per unit cost, piece repeatability, tensile strength, surface and colour. TRU Group in 2019-2020 assessed the competitive landscape in the Additive Manufacturing AM 3D Printing space ranking five of the top US equipment providers. Reviewed the innovative AM technology potential use in and provided recommendations. TRU Group also has 3D Printing capability in AM metals..
For more industries see Also those industry segments related to coal gasification such as coal ash processing and ash conversion for use in the the cement industry. Clean-Coal and Carbon-Storage innovation are relevant too, for example see TRU Group Inc Cleantech Coal for Thermal Power Plants! TRU Group is a leader in the extraction of valuable chemicals from oil & gas industry produced-water brines, in 2022 completing a detailed feasibility study of such a plant for Americas' largest oil company. We are Technology Forecasting and innovation specialists!
