ProWorks Recieves 2007 Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer from the Federal Laboratory Consortium

ProWorks President Gary Prothero recieved a letter of congratulations from Samuel W. Bodman, the Secretary of Energy and head of the United States Department of Energy for being named a recipient of the 2007 Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. The award presented by the Federal Laboratory Consortium recognizes the outstanding accomplishment of transferring the ProWorks co-developed software named the The Morning Report to the commercial marketplace.

The Morning Report is an R&D 100 Award winning airline safety tool. The application analyzes hundreds of commercial aircraft in-flight data variables, such as speed, wing angle, equipment status, and engine temperature from thousands of flights a day. The result is a daily report that allows the rapid identification of anomalies, and the prevention of possible accidents. Delivering aviation experts with the reports generated by The Morning Report will greatly improve the safety of flight operations.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in collaboration with Battelle, NASA-Ames, ProWorks, Flight Safety Consultants and Safe Flight, developed the technology and licensed it to SAGEM Avionics, Inc. for commercial use. The technology is also being adapted to identify typical patterns and atypical events in other areas. Gary Prothero and ProWorks continues to provide the IT services behind the development of technologies related to The Morning Report.
