What a great week at ASME Turbo Expo 2026 in Milan!

A huge thank you to everyone who visited the SCS booth, attended their sessions, and connected with the team throughout the event.

SCS were proud to contribute across the conference, including:

• Logan Whalen's exhibition stage presentation on High Value Thermal Mapping for Widespread Turbine Applications

• Carl Parsons's student poster - 'Towards Full-Surface Thermal Mapping with Imaging-Based Thermal History Coatings'

• Managing Director Jörg Feist's participation in the IGTI Entrepreneurial Panel Session - 'Entrepreneurship Journey: How to Start a Company'

• Two technical papers presented by Joseph Counte and Carl Parsons -
'On the Uncertainty of Luminescent Spectra Calibration of Thermal History Coatings at High Temperatures' (GT2026-177344) and 'Towards On-Engine Surface Temperature Measurements Using Continuum Robots and Thermal History Coatings' (GT2026-178089).

The week was filled with many familiar faces, valuable discussions, and new connections.

Thank you to the ASME International Gas Turbine Institute Turbo Expo organisers and everyone who helped make the event such a success.

The team left Milan energised by the conversations we've had and excited for what's next. Looking forward to Calgary 2027!

ASME Turbo Expo 2026 starts today - Team SCS is on the ground in Milan!

If you're attending this week, come and connect with the team at Booth D61 to see how high-resolution thermal mapping is helping drive turbine engine efficiencies!

Meet the team:
🔹 Dr Jörg Feist - Managing Director
🔹 Logan Whalen - Industrial Lead
🔹 Joseph Counte - R&D Materials Engineer
🔹 Carl Parsons - Robotics Engineer

SCS will be presenting across the week, including technical papers on thermal history coatings, continuum robotics for surface temperature measurement, and turbine thermal mapping applications.

Whether you're interested in turbine component testing, thermal measurement, coatings, or robotics-enabled inspection, we'd love to talk.

👉 Stop by Booth D61 and say hello.

From Award-Winning Research to ASME Turbo Expo 2026

Last year, SCS Materials engineer Joseph Counte was awarded 1st Place in the ASME Turbo Expo Student Poster Competition for his work on quantifying uncertainty in emission spectroscopy for thermal history sensing.

That award-winning research has since been developed further and now forms the foundation of SCS's latest ASME Turbo Expo technical paper:

"On the Uncertainty of Luminescent Spectra Calibration of Thermal History Coatings at High Temperatures" (GT2026-177344).

The paper builds on Joseph's original work, advancing the understanding of photoluminescent Thermal History Coatings (THCs) used for post-operation thermal mapping in extreme gas turbine environments. It establishes a quantified uncertainty framework and identifies optimised spectral parameters, helping to improve the reliability and accuracy of temperature measurements in high-temperature applications.

Come and watch!
