Custom and Contract Power Solutions (CCPS)

What Custom and Contract Power Solutions (CCPS) does

Custom and Contract Power Solutions (CCPS) is a UK-based electronics design and engineering firm, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Rosyth, Scotland, with a registered office in Clovenfords, Galashiels. The company develops proprietary hardware products across two specialised verticals: stationary battery management and geotechnical safety analysis. Its portfolio includes the Vigilant battery monitoring system (using Machine Learning and Artificial Machine Intelligence to predict Cell Deterioration and State of Health across up to 240 cells with 256Gb onboard memory for 20+ years of data retention), the Roktel non-destructive ground anchor testing system with patented floating impact mechanism, the THR remote monitoring system for corrosion in structural cabling (dams, bridges, concrete structures), the ReliaTherm thermal runaway detection monitor compliant with IFC 2015-608.3 and NFPA 1 Article 53.3.2, an infrared-based Electrolyte Level Monitoring system, and supporting components including a micro DC/DC converter and a 24-DIP Hybrid System-on-Chip. CCPS also offers bespoke contract design services spanning power electronics, PCB layout, MTBF/reliability calculations, and EMC compliance.

CCPS earns revenue through three streams: proprietary product sales (hardware), bespoke electronic design and development consultancy, and intellectual property licensing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a quote-based, enterprise sales motion. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a network of international channel partners across the Americas (Washington), Europe (UK), and Asia-Pacific (Australia), and the company runs a US-first new-product launch sequencing before expanding to Europe and the rest of world. Named enterprise customers include Rio Tinto (mining, Roktel ground anchor testing), Hydro Tasmania and Entura (THR structural cable monitoring at hydro-electric dams), and consortium partners MBNA Thames Clippers, Ferguson Marine, and Denchi Power under the HyFES marine hybrid propulsion programme. Marketing channels centre on industry conferences (Battcon in Orlando), technical blogs and whitepapers, and the company's own website (cps-power.com).

In 2013, CCPS pivoted from pure consultancy work to proprietary product commercialisation, coinciding with a £100,000 SMART Feasibility Award from Scottish Enterprise that seeded development of the Roktel system. The firm has remained a small, multi-disciplinary team (1–10 employees across hardware, software, firmware, mechanical, and technician functions) and continues to invest in product line expansion (Hybrid System-on-Chip, 2021) and geographic reach through channel partners despite reported headwinds from COVID-19, Brexit, and semiconductor shortages.

Core offering

No source content was provided to the extraction system. The "Information" block supplied contained only prior reasoning notes rather than extractable source material, so no core offering description can be cited here.

Product overview

CCPS offers a portfolio of battery monitoring and geotechnical safety analysis products. The core battery monitoring system is Vigilant, which uses Machine Learning and Artificial Machine Intelligence for predictive analytics on battery State of Health. Supporting battery safety products include Reliatherm (thermal runaway prevention), Electrolyte Level Monitoring, and the Micro DC/DC Converter component. For geotechnical safety, the company offers Roktel (non-destructive ground anchor testing) and THR System (structural cable corrosion monitoring). The company also provides contract design services for electronics development. Products integrate with SCADA systems and Campbell Scientific equipment for industrial deployments.

Emerging players

• BatteryDAQ: BatteryDAQ provides battery monitoring and management solutions for UPS and telecom backup batteries, addressing the same predictive analytics and remote monitoring use cases that Vigilant targets.

Broad incumbents

• Eaton: Eaton's power management division offers UPS systems and battery monitoring as part of a much broader portfolio of electrical and industrial products, overlapping with CCPS's data-center UPS-battery monitoring offering.
• Vertiv: Vertiv (formerly Emerson Network Power) supplies integrated power, thermal and IT management for data centers including battery monitoring solutions, competing with CCPS in the critical-infrastructure segment.
• Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric provides UPS, power distribution and battery monitoring solutions for data centers and industrial facilities, with overlapping functionality to CCPS's Vigilant system for NERC-compliance use cases.

Direct peers

• Cambridge Consultants: Cambridge Consultants is an electronics design and development consultancy with parallel capabilities in analogue/digital design, power electronics and embedded systems — directly mirroring CCPS's contract design services and product-realization heritage before its 2013 pivot to own-IP products.
• Roctest (Nova Metrix): Roctest designs geotechnical and structural health monitoring instruments for dams, tunnels, bridges and mines — closely comparable to CCPS's THR structural cable corrosion monitoring system for hydroelectric and civil infrastructure.
• Btech Inc: Btech designs and manufactures battery monitoring systems and cell monitoring devices for stationary batteries, directly overlapping with CCPS's Vigilant, ReliaTherm and ELM offerings in the standby/UPS market.
• Geosense: Geosense supplies geotechnical and structural monitoring sensors for ground anchors, rock bolts and tunnels — a UK-based peer whose product portfolio and target customers closely align with CCPS's Roktel ground anchor testing system.
• Alber (Megger): Alber, now part of Megger, is a specialist in stationary battery monitoring for UPS systems in data centers and telecoms — directly comparable to CCPS's Vigilant product line serving NERC-compliant critical infrastructure customers.

Others

• Campbell Scientific: Campbell Scientific is a CCPS technology/integration partner whose SCADA data loggers interface directly with the THR system. As a major supplier of geotechnical and environmental monitoring instrumentation, it is a comparable and partially competing infrastructure provider in the same end markets.
