The Servelec Group is a UK-based technology group, with significant intellectual property, providing software, hardware and services predominantly to the UK healthcare, oil & gas, nuclear, power, utilities and broadcast sectors.


The Servelec Group’s business was founded in 1977 and, since October 2000, has been wholly-owned by CSE Global, a company whose shares are traded on the main board of the Singapore Stock Exchange. Servelec has a strong technology and engineering heritage and today employs a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce of approximately 500 full-time staff operating predominantly from offices around the UK. The majority of these staff are based at the Group’s purpose built offices in Sheffield, one of which functions as the Group’s headquarters.

The origins of the Group’s business were in the design and manufacture of control systems for the Sheffield steel industry. Since that time, Servelec has grown both organically and by acquisition and now operates two divisions: Servelec Healthcare and Servelec Automation.

Servelec Healthcare specialises in the design, development and implementation of Electronic Patient Record ("EPR") software within secondary care settings and is a market leader in the Mental Health and Community Health sectors in England.


Servelec Automation provides complex, mission-critical control systems to large, blue-chip, companies mainly in the UK. Servelec Automation provides the whole lifecycle of services from consultancy, through to design, implementation, delivery, installation and on-going customer support and maintenance.

Servelec Technologies awarded new patent

Continuing the company's strategy to deliver ground breaking technology solutions to its customers, Servelec Technologies (part of Servelec Group) has been awarded a patent for its unique device access control methodology. The patent for the access security software is particularly relevant to remote telemetry units (RTUs) of which Servelec Technologies is a market leading designer, manufacturer and supplier.

The new device access control methodology will reduce the time spent granting access for an individual to potentially thousands of individual RTUs in geographically remote locations, translating into significant cost savings. The system will also result in greater network security in the context of ever-growing threats to infrastructure and cyber security. For example, a water company may have a high number of isolated locations with individual software security. This patent would allow the effective management of all the different security systems thereby substantially improving efficiencies and ease of use.

This successful patent application demonstrates Servelec's commitment to delivering leading edge technology to its customers and is a continuation of the company's commitment to enhancing product capabilities and the company's intellectual property.

Andy Sullivan, Managing Director of Servelec Technologies commented: "I am excited to be able to announce this successful patent award as it further demonstrates our position as a leading edge technologies business, supporting international infrastructure providers. Servelec Technologies is committed to continuously enhancing our product range in order to extend our reach and provide a better level of service to existing and new customers."

While the patented 'Device Access Control Method' was devised for RTUs it can easily be utilised as an application for other industries which require off-line access control to devices such as photo-copiers or even vehicle logging devices.
