Simon Jelley from 42T joined us at the FuturePrint TECH AI for Print Conference in Cambridge April 16 and delivered a very popular talk at the event. In this podcast Marcus talks in more depth with Simon about AI, the process for innovation and why this tech has such potential for the future of digital printing technology.

Simon spearheads the team researching, testing and implementing AI at 42T, a cross-industry technology consultancy with a strong track record in the field of printing.  Simon is a leading innovator, combining sharp technical skills across a broad range of fields with a keen eye for matching technologies with applications, and solving needs at a conceptual level with structured innovation. He has a deep understanding of the behaviour of fluids and heat transfer, and his experience and scientific understanding cross over into broader areas such as mechanism design, sensing, optics, acoustics and electronics enabling him to bridge between fields to give a more complete system level view to development. He has applied these skills in a wide range of industries from groundbreaking process equipment for manufacturing of foods and other FMCG, novel inspection vision systems, packaging design and decoration, consumer products, industrial tools, medical devices and even the design of payload deployment systems for space vehicles.

Simon is also an experienced innovation facilitator and helps educate best practices for innovation techniques. He is a strong proponent of structured innovation, and paired with a strong insight into the world of patents this gives a powerful capability to innovate ways of achieving functionality without infringing IP.
