How the ACTC Operates
Since its inception by the DTI in 1990, the Applied Control Technology Consortium (ACTC)
has been an organisation which caters for companies who
pursue a vigorous policy of acquiring and applying the very latest technologies.
The Applied Control Technology Consortium is operated by Industrial Systems
and Control Ltd., with close ties to the Industrial Control Centre at Strathclyde
University.
Having been established with initial funding from the DTI, the ACTC
has been completely self-financing since 1993.
Membership has remained around 30 companies, covering a wide range of
industries such as BP, Ford, Boeing, BAE Systems, General Electric and GlaxoSmithKline.
This success in meeting the expectations and needs of the members
can be attributed to the ACTC management which ensures that it is run
solely for the advancement of the members. This is achieved through a Steering
Committee, made up of representatives from the member companies, which
ensures that the ACTC is responsive and provides industrially relevant
technology.
Regular meetings and mailing allow all member companies to be kept abreast
of new developments and providing an industrial forum for the exchange
of ideas.
