BUSINESS is booming for a South Lakeland company that is behind a number of clever technologies that are helping clients to boost efficiency and cut energy bills.

Invisible Systems Ltd initially developed smart systems for the food industry but has now branched out into other sectors.

The Milnthorpe firm earned recognition for one of its innovative products earlier this year when it scooped a North West Food Award for a quality control system.

The revolutionary wireless monitoring system measures the temperature of meat in ovens during the cooking process.

The system automatically alerts food factory staff when meat products are ready to be taken out of an oven, which can help to reduce cooking times, and means food products are moister and not over-cooked.
