Le projet de développement d’une solution robotisée pour l’application d’étiquettes dans un contexte industriel permettra à Premier Tech Systèmes Automatisés (PTSA) de mettre sur pieds (Étude de faisabilité technicoéconomique, Conception et réalisation) un système d’étiquetage modulaire pouvant s’intégrer à des lignes de production. Ce projet est important et captive l’attention chez PTSA parce qu’il permet […]

Augmented Reality (AR) provides real-time interactive instructions to improve efficiency and accuracy of product maintenance processes. Although different methods have been proposed for the AR-based product maintenance, there is a lack of methods of automatic product disassembly and assembly planning under the AR environment. This project develops an AR-based tool for product maintenance instructions. The […]

Greenhouse gas emissions from commercial vehicles are a major contributor to climate change worldwide and need to be reduced to meet net-zero GHG targets. High-efficiency engines will continue to be used in many countries for the foreseeable future; switching the fuel to low-carbon methane blended with renewably generated Hydrogen offers a pathway to low net […]

Climatic and soil conditions played a crucial role in crop productivity, and thus impacted the economic benefits of the entire industry, especially in Canada. Biochar is widely known as a sustainable material as soil amendment. However, conventional biochar lacks the ability to improve water-use efficiency. A new type of biochar is being developed by co-pyrolyzing […]

This project explores how computer algorithms will be used to predict the intelligibility and quality of in-car speech processed by hearing aids. Hearing impaired listeners graded in-car speech for a set of conditions. The conditions include seating position of talker, seating position of speaker, levels of background noise, and hearing aid processing methods. Each hearing […]

The global competitive market requires products to meet the high customer satisfaction, low production cost and short development cycle. Product design searches for potential solutions of products to meet customer requirements based on design constraints and technical details. As a large number of possible concepts have to be explored in the design process, applying the […]

To maintain grain quality, grain drying is essential to turn the newly harvested grain from a high moisture content, high temperature and easily spoiled state to a safe condition for transportation or storage. Convection grain dryers are the most widely-used grain dryers around the world, however, the design of dryers nowadays is still mainly based […]

Products have to meet high customer satisfaction standards, low production costs in order to compete in the global market. Comparing with conventional production techniques, the additive manufacturing (AM) technology can construct complicated forms with more efficiency. In order to produce high quality 3D printed parts, the appropriate selection of printing parameters is crucial. Advanced parameter […]

Significant advances in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are driving the automotive industry’s transition to electrification. Canada’s expansive ecosystem of leading automakers, part manufacturers, research institutions, and skilled workforce are collectively well-positioned to further advance LIB technologies and overcome critical barriers that continue impacting electric vehicle (EV) adoption, including vehicle driving range, and battery lifespan and safety. […]

La ville de Joliette dispose d’un surplus d’énergie en période de faible demande et a mandaté l’entreprise Gestion D G Guibault de rentabiliser ce surplus d’énergie. Dans cette optique de maximisation économique, le promoteur a bâti une installation de minage de cryptomonnaies pour rentabiliser au maximum le surplus d’énergie. Le minage demande beaucoup d’énergie électrique […]

For 50 years, the aviation, automotive and sports industries have been trying to reduce the weight of their products by using composite materials to reduce energy consumption. However, composite structures are too expensive to manufacture and are sensitive to vibration. This project aims to develop a multi-material, 5-axis 3D printer that is capable of printing […]

As modern software is getting more complex, it is of great importance to ensure software reliability. Up to now, the most practical way of building high-reliable software is via a huge amount of testing and debugging. Therefore, software defect prediction, a technique to predict defects in software artifacts, has gained popularity by lessening the burden […]
