The current health events have greatly disrupted the supply chain. It is now becoming key for the growth of our company to schedule procurement and production accurately. We plan on implementing an MRP system and put in place Lean manufacturing principles to survive the pandemic. Anticipated Project Activities • Audit the company’s needs for material […]

Failures in a telecommunication network harm the communication quality. Once happened, if the system cannot solve it by self-healing, such anomaly may even result in serious problem and result in massive economic loss. In this project, we will design and develop a system to predict these failures in advance using the status values of the […]

Thales développe un logiciel pouvant gérer les activités de projet en réfection de navires militaires. En particulier, ce logiciel permet d’ordonnancer les différentes tâches à accomplir, c’est-à-dire les positionner sur une ligne du temps. L’ordonnancement produit doit tenir compte de la disponibilité des ressources (main-d’œuvre, équipements, espaces de travail) tout en minimisant les heures supplémentaires […]

Hudson Boat Works in London, Ontario is the only company in Canada that manufactures highperformance rowing shells. Hudson wishes to employ finite element techniques to optimize the design of their rowing shells and associated structures using advanced engineering techniques. Optimization of composite materials design requires a detailed understanding of their mechanical response, including how they […]

In recent years, an increase in industrial robots in manufacturing has emerged. However, there are still possible safety issues and difficulty in specifying tasks for the robots to perform. The objective of this research project is to make a path planning system that uses demonstrations of how to perform a task to learn how to […]

Aluminum smelting is a highly energy consuming industrial process. The process generates a large amount of the heat that leaves through the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas must be scrubbed of its contaminants before release to the atmosphere at the gas treatment unit exit. The scrubbing process is more effective if this gas is cooled […]

We have developed microfluidic polymer chips, and their associated reader for rapid differential diagnosis of disease states2. Each polymer chip is 2?2 cm2, and needs only 10 ?l of whole blood sample of the patient for diagnoses. The turnaround time from introducing the blood sample to get the results is 15-30 min. The chip contains […]

MicroPilot, a company located in Manitoba, is specialized in design and manufacturing of autopilot systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company’s interest is to develop accurate simulation models of various UAVs, upon which the autopilot systems are tuned and verified first. The goal of this project is to evaluate and improve the model structure […]

This MITACS project aims to investigate the durability of IONOMR’s PEMIONTM membranes in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)-based fuel cells for automotive and other applications. Specific test conditions and protocols for use at IONOMR based on industry standards will be developed and the materials will be benchmarked against current state-of-the-art materials in order to prioritize development […]

L’entreprise québécoise YourBarFactory, spécialisée dans la conception et la fabrication de barres de céréales sans allergènes, connait ces dernières années une forte croissance. Cette croissance s’est matérialisée fin 2018 par la construction d’une nouvelle usine. Afin d’anticiper la pleine utilisation future de ce nouvel outil, il est temps d’étudier l’efficacité des processus, et notamment la […]

The primary objective of the lab demo system is to interface the FBGs sensors for monitoring of electrical parameters of a demo power grid network equipment prototyped in the lab and the second objective is to interface, multiple electrical parameters of a demo power system grid network over a single module of FBG sensor and […]

This project intends to prepare DECAP’s minimum viable product (MVP) and ancillary designs for market-readiness, including building out a manufacturing and logistics pipeline, beginning the process of regulatory approval, and assist DECAP team members in completing a beta-test of our products in-the-field, in a COVID-19-safe manner. The expected project benefits are understanding the market, approaching […]
