ICT International’s unique family of digital sensors and data loggers have been developed to measure key plant and soil parameters for the advancement of plant and soils research, to address physiological limitations, to water availability, climate change, evaluation of plant genetics, breeding programs or fundamental understanding of plant function. They have been installed to measure plant water use (sap flow), plant water potential (psychrometer), soil moisture and soil water potential to determine the effects of climate and environmental change across the world including; the Brazilian rainforeststhe “world’s tallest trees” in Californiamine site rehabilitation in Australia and Perugreenhouse tomato production in Australia and the effects of elevated CO2 on plant water use and hydraulic conductivity.

Mr Peter Wezenbeek

WINGMATE designs a variety of Data Management and Electronic Control Systems based on the in house developed Real Time Operating System.

Our products are completely customisable, making them pre-eminently suitable to use as small series prototypes. This has proven to be a very important step to bridge the gap between research outcomes and industrial production.

We offer expert knowledge in data collection and analysis, CAN communication, engine control strategies and motorsport including Formula 1 and Red Bull Air Racing.

Applications for our Data systems include hybrid and electric vehicles usage, driver behaviour tracking, industrial engines, M2M projects, light and race airplanes. Our Control systems have been used in sprinkler systems, solar hot water and Engine Management Systems for diesel engine research.

Ino8’s mission is to invent the world’s safest and cleanest vehicle technologies and turn them into reality.

Our vision for future mobility is an entirely new generation of Leaning Cars that are narrow as a bike, and therefore leaning to the side when driving around a corner like a bike, but with 4 wheels, long enough to carry up to 4 people, safe as a car and cleaner than electric cars.
We want to establish Australia’s first own global car company to commercialise such a new generation of leaning cars and to eliminate unemployment in Australia. The new company will be a joint venture between various international contributing partners which will provide a global outreach right from the start.
The foundation of these innovative Leaning Cars is our patented Safe8™ balance control technology. It enables us to build a Leaning Car with electric drive at a cost comparable to a normal small car, a break-through for electro-mobility. The scope of this project is develop and build different versions of a leaning car to demonstrate the benefits and to generate the first order of a low volume production.
