ISDI wins King’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2024
25/06/2024
ISDI, an innovator in X-ray imaging solutions, has announced that His Majesty King Charles III has approved the Prime Minister’s recommendation that ISDI should receive a King’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category in 2024. ISDI now joins over 7000 UK enterprises that have received this royal recognition since the awards were first created in 1965, then known as The Queen’s Award to Industry. ISDI is one of 59 winners of ‘Awards for Innovation’ in the UK this year.
The King’s Award recognises ISDI’s innovative Spectrum Logic 2824HS and 2824HR detectors for high-speed, in-line automated computed tomography (CT) inspection of electric vehicle batteries and printed circuit boards (PCBs). These products are said to be the leading technology for these growing applications and are in production with its Korean partner in electric vehicle (EV) battery factories in Korea and China. The introduction of these products has led to revenue growth of 246% since May 2022.
The 2824HS is also used for the in-line inspection of PCBs. The industry-leading frame rate and low electronic noise of ISDI’s detectors permits higher throughput in in-line automated X-ray inspection (AXI), which is valuable to EV battery and PCB manufacturers. Next year, the company aims to enable 3D inspection of EV battery cells at 70 parts per minute with a new higher-speed detector.

Ed Bullard, Chair of ISDI, commented: “The 2824HS and 2824HR are the fastest large-area wafer-scale complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) X-ray detectors available. Given their large field of view, highly sensitive active pixel sensor, low lag and high frame rate, they are ideally suited to high-throughput in-line electronics and battery inspection. Our vision at Spectrum Logic is to utilise our world-leading CMOS sensor technology to develop high-performance, high-quality X-ray detectors for professional applications in industrial, medical and scientific markets.”
