Mr. Philip Shaw has spent the last 35 years in the business of developing electronic equipment and the software to run it. Since 1985, he has been developing the hardware and software for micro-seismic systems for mine and incursion monitoring. His first full scale system (SP1) was successfully implemented at a working coal mine in the UK in 1996. Since that time, a lot has happened, please see our timeline for the exciting developments to date.
