The very best of engineering
from LX Design House helps save our national icon.
LX Design
House wins the Software and Embedded Systems Excellence Award as part of the
2014 Sydney Engineering Excellence Awards for their work in the Project
Caramello Koala.
Project Caramello Koala is a
response to the increasing risk facing an iconic native animal. Koalas have
recently been listed as a vulnerable species, and monitoring programs are an
essential part of the effort to protect them.
The main goal of Project
Caramello Koala has been to develop a tracking device specific to the needs of
koalas.
Although animal telemetry is not
new, none of the currently available animal tracking solutions quite fit the
bill for kolas. For example, koalas tuck their chins into their chest to rest,
making it unfeasible to have bulky electronics under their chin.
The product of Project Caramello
Koala, the K-Tracker, is a solution to the problems raised by the needs of the
animals and the challenging environments they inhabit. The K-Tracker is proven
in the field to have excellent animal welfare outcomes, and provides high accuracy
near-to-live tracking and more comprehensive data than is available with
existing systems.
As a dynamic, experienced and
multiple-award winning design house, the team at LX are well-placed to bring a
wide variety of embedded hardware and other systems to market for their growing
client base, and this has been proven with their outstanding results in the
2014 SEEA awards.
The annual Sydney Engineering
Excellence Awards (SEEA) celebrate the accomplishments of some of the finest
engineering companies and individuals in the world. The Awards showcase leaders
in the profession along with world class engineering and innovation.
Each Year the Excellence Awards’
judging panel consider the finalists of each category for an Engineering
Excellence Award. As winners in their own right, these finalists represent the
very best of engineering with the judging panel seeking to identify those
unique finalists that demonstrate outstanding excellence, innovation and best
practice.
The 2014 Australian Engineering
Excellence Awards feature an exciting new array of state of the art
technologies and innovations, cementing the position of the profession at the
forefront of our society.
