Industry 4.0 is the main strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector over the next years. Simulation is a key enabling technology of Industry 4.0, supporting the development of planning and exploratory models to optimize decision making, the design and operations of complex and dynamic production systems. It may also support companies to […]

Les blessures ou lésions au travail constituent la 2e cause la plus importante d’invalidité au monde. Afin d’aider les travailleurs dans leurs tâches et réduire l’exposition aux blessures, l’utilisation d’exosquelettes est une avenue prometteuse. Il existe déjà plusieurs exosquelettes d’assistance pour la production automobile et les industries manufacturières, mais ceux-ci ne sont pas adaptés aux […]

The ability of the health system to manage a massive influx of patients is based on the combination of four factors: the personnel, the equipment, the physical spaces and the system in place. A combination better known in jargon as the 4 “S” (staff, stuff, structure / space, system). A fifth factor that is often […]

L’émergence de l’Industrie 4.0 amène les chefs d’entreprise à remettre en question leurs modèles d’affaires et à envisager de quelle façon ces technologies peuvent se combiner pour transformer les produits, les processus et les services offerts. Cette transformation numérique amène inévitablement les entreprises à identifier les fournisseurs de ces technologies et les experts qui peuvent […]

Food manufacturers experience significant waste when transforming raw materials into refined finished products. In the food processing industries, a single line can have 50% or more of raw materials loss while simultaneously producing varying degrees of quality simply because processing equipment is not optimally configured to the characteristics of the suppliers’ raw materials. Worximity proposes […]

Blockchain is a well-known immutable, transparent and anti-counterfeit platform. As such it can be appropriate for submitting certificates for validation and safe-keeping. However, because of its requirements for complex and heavy computations for enhanced security and verification of each submission in the network, in this proposal, we have decided to conduct an experimental study to […]

SAP is a multinational software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. SAP Labs Montreal focuses on supporting the consumer products industry. It provides these industries with the software infrastructure that allows its customers to run end-to-end processes including the capturing and analysis of sales transactions. Sales transactions include for […]

There is actually a societal challenge here in north America regarding the end-of-life management of used beverage cans (UBCs). China is no longer accepting several of our recyclable waste streams like UBCs. UBCs are made of aluminum that contains some level of magnesium and manganese to modulate the properties of the body and the lid […]

In this project, we replicate the dispatching operation of mineral transportation trucks using a discrete-event simulation model, then we use the data generated by the simulation model to train an AI algorithm to dispatch trucks to loading/unloading shovels. The use of AI in this scheduling problem will improve the system’s performance

Le projet consistera à concevoir et analyser un sous-réseau d’antenne qui devra s’intégrer à une grande antenne réseau, formant le coeur d’un radar à synthèse d’ouverture (RSO). Ce RSO sera utilisé sur une satellite à basse orbite et sa mission sera d’obtenir des images de la couverture, et plus spécifiquement de la masse de neige […]

In this work, we will develop new processes, including new raw materials, to produce known organic peroxides; such processes will include direct coupling to manufacture organic peroxides. We will demonstrate the synthesis processes by selecting the appropriate carboxylic acid(s), hydroperoxide starting material(s), catalysts, and operating conditions to produce the desired organic peroxides, particularly, t-butyl peroxybenzoate […]

Polytechnique Montréal va développer un simulateur numérique pour recréer la réalité actuelle des stations de pompage en série dont le fonctionnement est basé sur des niveaux, ajouter un contrôle virtuel basé sur le débit et opérer les stations à distance en faisant un diagnostic en temps réel, dans le but d’effectuer une économie d’électricité du […]
