Client Stories

For over six decades, we’ve been helping our clients overcome their toughest and most essential technology challenges and instrumental in creating breakthrough products and services that redefine markets.

We take on and deliver over 500 projects for clients each year. Most of what we do is confidential, but these are some examples of work we have completed for global blue chips, aspiring enterprises and ambitious start-ups from a range of market sectors.    

Here are a few Case Studies:

The world’s first molecular electronics chip with Roswell Biotechnologies

Roswell Biotechnologies are delivering their ambition of biological testing measurements on a chip. Working closely with Roswell, Cambridge Consultants have helped them create a biosensor that aims to transform industries. The chips dramatically reduce the costs of a test, provide rich information rapidly and let you have small, portable mobile devices that can be used anywhere.

To quote Roswell co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Barry Merriman, “The goal of this work is to put biosensing on an ideal technology foundation for the future of precision medicine and personal wellness. This requires not only putting biosensing on chip, but in the right way, with the right kind of sensor. “We’ve pre-shrunk the sensor element to the molecular level to create a biosensor platform that combines an entirely new kind of real-time, single-molecule measurement with a long-term, unlimited scaling roadmap for smaller, faster and cheaper tests and instruments.”

AI pet care transformation for Purina

Purina is a trusted pet care brand with 120 years of experience supporting pets and the people who care for them. Always striving to shape the future of pet care, Purina has a vision to share its deep expertise in pet health, behavior and nutrition directly with consumers to help give pets the best life possible. That vision and innovative spirit inspired Purina to build the Petivity Smart Litterbox Monitoring System to enable pet parents to better understand and care for their cats.

The Petivity connected system is powered by a physical device that sits under the litter box to track cats’ bathroom behavior. The collected data is sent to the cloud where AI algorithms, based on Purina’s industry-leading research, translate the data into actionable and personalized insights. Consumers can then view the data and insights on the mobile app.

Capgemini research shows that 88% of organizations will be offering intelligent services in the next five years but only 7% of them have scaled use cases for intelligent products and services. Petivity is Purina’s first connected offering. It represents a new way for the heritage CPG company to connect directly with its consumers by collecting unique data that powers personalized health insights and recommendations.

This work was delivered by teams from both CC and Synapse, a fellow company within Capgemini Invent.

Wireless breakthrough for the Ocado Smart Platform

The Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) is Ocado Group’s world-leading suite of solutions that has been built to transform online grocery across the world. As a strategic OSP technology partner, we worked alongside Ocado Technology to develop the unique communication system that sits within the OSP, orchestrating swarms of bots across highly automated warehouses./p>

World-first communications for automated warehouses

The Ocado Smart Platform (OSP) combines Ocado Group’s proprietary end-to-end software systems with their physical fulfilment assets to deliver superior economics for grocery retailers and unmatched experiences for consumers. In close collaboration with Ocado Technology’s engineering teams, we developed a communication system for the OSP unlike anything else available.

It uses unlicensed spectrum to provide simultaneous and robust communication between thousands of bots and the control system, allowing each to talk to the communication system ten times a second, collectively carrying four terabytes of data a day. The result sets Ocado Group apart in the industry through a breakthrough in radio design and the most densely packed cellular network in the world.

Transforming economics & efficiency

The OSP communication system orchestrates swarms of bots in Ocado Group’s highly automated warehouses. These bots move across giant storage grids at speeds of up to four meters per second, with a clearance of just five millimetres between them.

The bots pick an average 50-item order within five minutes, which is 18 times faster, more reliable and more economic than traditional warehouses that operate extensive conveyor belt systems.

Scaling for global growth

Through machine learning, robotics and data science, Ocado Group continues to lead the transformation of online grocery. We are now collaborating with Ocado Technology to evolve the next generation of the OSP’s highly flexible communications system for use by their partners around the world.

Uptake of OSP licenses has been fast. Ocado Group has already established agreements with leading grocery retailers across North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia, to scale those retailers’ online operations sustainably and profitably.

Our involvement

We worked as an extension of Ocado Technology’s design team during development of the wireless communication system, collaborating to overcome each fresh challenge and carrying out fast regulatory, feasibility and de-risking processes.

Throughout delivery we led the design verification work – guiding manufacturing partner selection, building a robust transfer-to-production ecosystem and providing 24/7 support during the transition. We also led technical seminars, training and knowledge transfer sessions.
