Un cadre de référence propre à l’organisation doit être développé intégrant des critères et indicateurs en développement durable et permettant de guider les processus de gestion de la rénovation de manière holistique et intégrée.

Un projet d’expansion portuaire soulève plusieurs enjeux de logistique portuaire, notamment en regard de la capacité des ressources portuaires actuelles et planifiées à assurer une fluidité du fret de l’entrée à la sortie du port. Parallèlement, une administration portuaire doit considérer une importante incertitude en matière de prévision d’un portfolio varié de fret non conteneurisé.

Several countries worldwide are currently moving on to a post-confinement phase that aims at restarting economic activities while controlling the spread of the virus. Medical masks are essential for medical workers, and are considered to minimize the spread of the virus within communities. Recommendations from various healthcare authorities are showing that the universal use of medical masks would be considered if supplies permit. Local manufacturing of medical masks is hindered by critical shortages of the material used as a filtration layer that is mainly manufactured in Asia.

Reaction Dynamics, une jeune entreprise québécoise, développe un lanceur capable de propulser des petits satellites dans l’espace. Dans cette industrie très compétitive, le prix du kilogramme lancé définit la viabilité économique des projets. Ainsi, la masse totale du lanceur est un facteur déterminant et c’est pourquoi, ce projet de recherche en partenariat avec Polytechnique Montréal, vise à réduire la masse de la chambre de combustion et de la tuyère. Pour ce faire, de nouveaux designs qui profiteront de la liberté de forme offerte par l’impression 3d métallique seront élaborés et testés.

This project is designed to build a system and software that will monitor and analyze the Electrical Vehicle (EV) bearing anomalies and failures. We will develop a framework that will address the EV bearing failure modes, its effect, and the key features of each failure mode. Later, we will collect the bearing data at “Solution Serafin”, and ingest it in an AI tool for the diagnosis and prognosis of the EV bearing failure. This tool will provide the EV driver and our partner the remaining useful bearing life, and consequently an enhanced maintenance planning strategy.

The objective of this proposal is to propose an optimized aggregation model for a friendly, interoperable, and cooperative interaction between the EVs and their host electrical grid. In doing so, the EVs will promptly participate in ancillary services of power grids. The power grid will in turn provide intelligent access of EVs to charging stations in order to further promote the EV proliferation. Such integration will provide an opportunity for both EV owners (entities) and the utility owners to benefit from the massive deployment of EVs.

To improve traveller services in train stations, SNCF and Keolis Canada seek to develop a mobile application for real-time geo-localisation based on still images captured by the user on its smartphone. This would allow guidance through the station and provide key information. This project will develop a Deep Learning (DL) model for accurate and real-time image-based geo-localisation, relying on novel computer vision and trained by image datasets previously collected and anonymized by SNCF.

In most cases, the overwhelming reason behind pet abandonment is because of behavioral problems. Often, these behavioral problems are common issues that could be corrected if owners were to better understand their pets. Beonebreed, a young Canadian company active in the pet products’ market, proposes the development of two products aiming at the resolution of this problem. The desensitizer will be a unique product on the market, an interconnected product that will partly imitate the methods of a pet behaviorist by rewarding the animal when a positive event happens.

La STM vient d’incorporer un progiciel de gestion d’entreprise (ERP) et souhaite valoriser les données des stocks de pièces afin de réduire ses coûts d’entreposage. Ce projet est la phase initiale d’un projet d’envergure et il vise à développer un outil d’aide à la décision du processus de stockage et de transit des pièces de rechange dans les centres de contrôle. Il s’agit concrètement de mettre en place un processus efficace d’identification des stocks et de voir s’il est possible d’automatiser les modèles descriptifs des inventaires avec les données de l’ERP.

ShipHaul Logistics aims at developing an Intelligent Freight Services platform towards the digitization, integration and optimization of freight management. The proposed project is the first step to provide the foundations and infrastructure and kickstart the development of the envisioned platform. To this end, we will emphasize evaluation, testing and comparative studies concerning the efficiency and capabilities of various software solutions for the constituent modules of the proposed platform.
