| Smart and Sustainable Spent Coffee Grounds Management System: From Waste to Resources |
 |
  |
This project aims to develop a sustainable system for managing spent coffee grounds, integrated into the circular economy. Targeting 1,000 Montreal coffee shops, it proposes a network of “circular cafés” serving as local collection and pre-treatment points. Using Industry 4.0 technologies, the project explores how smart logistics and pre-drying can reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and enhance waste valorization. |
| Automated and Smart Manufacturing System for RTD Fabrication |
 |
  |
This project aims to develop a digital twin of the full RTD fabrication process, integrated with robotic systems for tasks such as Pt wire handling, welding, and assembly. The goal is to enable real-time simulation, monitoring, and optimization, reducing manual work and improving consistency. |
| Tools for the Safe Deployment of a Gen3 on a Mobile Base in the Manufacturing Sector |
 |
|
This project aims to develop a solution allowing an operator to teach new manufacturing operations to a mobile manipulation system equipped with a Kinova arm. |
| Using Lab-Factory Technology for the Automatic Generation of Manufacturing Plans and Instructions |
 |
 |
Development of a framework that enables consumers to design products while allowing for automated engineering and production. |
| Advanced Manufacturing Analysis and Digital Optimization (AMADO) |
 |
|
The vertical networking of intelligent systems for production, logistics, and services is at the core of this project with Siemens. The goal is to develop a fully integrated workflow and data pipeline from start to market. This includes supporting the transition and adapting to new needs. Specifically, the project will focus on four (4) areas: advanced monitoring of products and processes and predictive maintenance, the use of augmented reality for green manufacturing automation, operational logistics digitization technologies, and factory data analysis and optimization. |
