In this project, we will solve a challenging material handling problem encountered by our industry partner in a labour-intensive step of their production process, which will help compensate for current and future personnel shortages and enable expansion of production. The main challenges in this project include object detection, grasping and manipulation of heavy material, and […]

Nous sommes une jeune entreprise québécoise qui offre une solution de capteur assistant la maintenance prédictive. Le projet vise à développer des capteurs spécialisés et les mettre en application pour le suivi d’équipement des manufacturiers alimentaires. Grace à la capacité des capteurs d’utiliser l’intelligence artificielle pour l’auto-apprentissage, nous nous démarquons de nos compétiteurs par la […]

Tooth wear is an irreversible loss of the enamel, which over time, leads to the exposure of the dentine and this makes the tooth very sensitive to hot or cold foods. The choice of food of the person suffering from severe tooth becomes very limited and this sometimes threatens the survival of the individual. Our […]

Project Justification Research and analysis into the reception of visual distortion correction as a tool for image optimization for moderate to severe stage AMD patients with central vision loss allowing them to see better images. Project Objective and Scope Research and design a study protocol to either prove or disprove the hypothesis that correcting distortion […]

Buried pipelines are inevitably constructed in geohazard areas associated with the possible development of permanent ground displacements, which induces considerably high strains thus leads to failure on pipeline structures. This study aims to establish an accurate and efficient tool for the safety evaluation of pipes bearing ground movements from the perspective of reliability, which purpose […]

This project studies network capacity and throughput for newly emerging MSGN infrastructure including mesh planning strategies and how the number of hops and end-devices affects the overall throughput. The work includes developing the analytical framework, and confirmation through simulation and physical experiment, of proof-of-concepts in the smart utility lab IPv6 RF mesh test bed. During […]

Bearings are typically located in the heart of all rotating applications, with rotational speeds, forces, and vibrations impacting them somehow. Due to various reasons, such as fatigue, bearings encounter abrupt operation failure that damages surrounding components. In some applications, such as wind turbines and high-speed trains, it is expensive to replace the bearing and other […]

Preliminary data analysis has indicated that many prestressed concrete elements have experimentally determined shear strengths which are substantially higher than the shear strengths predicted by the related provisions in the Canadian concrete design code. While these results represent no risk to public safety, actual strengths which are significantly higher than predicted strengths result in considerably […]

Productique has a production application utilizing a die and mold heat exchanger to cool the fabricated parts. By optimizing the cooling channels in the heat exchanger, the cycle time between successive parts will be reduced. The optimization will be composed of a combination of numerical modelling and experimental results. The data gathered from the experiments […]

Electro Carbon est une entreprise spécialisée dans le développement de technologies de rupture et innovantes orientées vers la valorisation du dioxyde de carbone (CO2). Toujours soucieux de la protection de l’environnement, Electro Carbon agit pour répondre aux besoins mondiaux en matière de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de lutte contre […]

The application of road salt to our roads, parking lots and sidewalks, is causing long-term corrosion to infrastructure and vehicles, and damage to the environment. Various alternative de-icing salts have been proposed but a holistic understanding of their ice-melting performance, corrosion effects and environmental impacts is limited. The goal of the broader project is to […]

Composite structures are very popular in industries due to their lightweight and high strength. They degrade and cause huge economic losses or even serious disasters. Structure health monitoring has a great significance in the operation and maintenance of industrial assets. Current commercial software for structural health monitoring uses traditional and common methods which are only […]
