Sheffield Hallam University awarded a contract to IHI Hauzer Techno Coating B.V.

for the replacement of the control system for a Hauzer TechCoating PVD unit.

The replacement was necessary to keep the coating unit running and bring it up to the most recent safety standards.

The cost of replacing the control system was a fraction of the cost of an entire new unit, which would have exceeded £1.2M and would not have included the bespoke modifications of the current system.

Major components, such as pumping units, had already been replaced in 2017 at a cost of £139k.

Only the original equipment manufacturer was capable of replacing the control system for this highly complex industrial machine, as reverse-engineering the control system would be impossible for a third party.

The contract value was AUD 200,000.
