The proposed project will be a collaboration between the Ottawa (ON) based integrated circuit (IC) company, Power Integrations Inc. and RIGA lab at University of Manitoba. The objective is to reduce power losses and meet international industrial standards for Power Factor Correctors. The result of this research project will assist the company to identify the […]

High-precision metal components, which can be customized upon demand, are key for modern high-tech devices, such as smartphones, sensors, smartwatches, Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications and luxury products. In addition, the medical, dental, and aerospace industries are increasingly demanding high-precision metal components on-demand for their products. Nanogrande (NG) is a Montreal-Based company the develops and commercializes high-resolution […]

Recent advances in sensing, edge-computing devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi and Jetson Nano) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, especially deep learning (DL) models for computer vision and speech tasks, together have led to exponentially increasing AI applications in military, civilian and education scenarios. It is widely agreed that AI will be the driving force of the […]

Despite the vast literature that has accumulated around ERP technologies over the years, there is still a great need to better our understanding of the forces at play in the adoption of ERP technologies, and this, particularly in the context of small and medium size organizations. In addition, the field of enterprise architecture (EA) has […]

La robotique collaborative est une condition préalable à l’industrie 4.0. La tendance actuelle est de produire et de programmer des robots qui ont la capacité de travailler ensemble, ou à proximité, avec des humains dans un environnement partagé. La suppression d’une barrière physique (ou virtuelle) pour le robot entraîne de nombreux défis, dont le plus […]

En s’appuyant sur les expertises de Famic Technologies et de ses logiciels de gestion de l’industrie 4.0, ce projet vise à développer des modules de formations immersives à l’industrie 4.0 sous forme de cas de simulation réel.

Kinectrics is seeking to design an uninhabited aircraft system (UAS or “drone) that can lift a robotic power line inspection device and safely place it on the line automatically so it can perform the inspection, then safely return it to the ground after the inspection is complete. The goal is to reduce risks to the […]

From a human factors’ perspective, one of the main differences between controlling a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), commonly referred to as drone, and piloting a traditional inhabited aircraft is the loss of much direct sensory feedback. It is posited that drone pilots’ situation awareness (SA), a key human factor in aviation safety, is negatively […]

In most flows around a structure or object, the flow behind the object is characterized by a region of unsteady reverse flow. This unsteady fluid motion in the object wake induces a force upon the object or structure, which can cause flexible structures to vibrate. An ongoing engineering challenge is to understand how the wake […]

Groupe ABS fait aujourd’hui appelle à de nombreux sous-traitants dans le cadre de leurs forages pour connaitre la nature des sols sur les chantiers. La procédure suivie sur chantier pour la collecte des données de foration se repose principalement sur une fiche papier, et les résultats sont transmis ensuite par le biais de la plateforme […]

District energy systems are specialized and sophisticated energy solutions that require detailed design and analysis. Integration with utility infrastructure strengthens the resiliency and reliability of the energy services as it enables cities to achieve their energy savings targets and greenhouse gas emission targets. This research will investigate and model the use of distributed energy resources […]

The growing demand for mobility worldwide and the mass use of internal combustion engine drive systems poses major challenges for today’s society. Currently, the CO2 content in the atmosphere is continually increasing and concentrations of pollutants in many areas exceed the maximum permissible limits in many urban centers. Additionally, these engine emissions contribute significantly to […]
