In this project we aim to develop a computer software system that is capable of predicting anomalies in membrane cell electrolyzers before they arise. It will closely monitor the electrolyzers’ operating condition and identify the hints that suggest that a failure is coming down the line. We will then notify the plant operators, so they […]

Prompt doit identifier les PME qui ont un fort potentiel de croissance au sein de l’écosystème canadien de la 5G. Dans ce contexte, la recherche propose d’exploiter une base de données textuelles. Elle est constituée par les sites internet de 7 000 entreprises. Cette base de données a déjà été construite par Prompt. Le premier […]

The aim is to have an insight on bubble behaviour in a system that holds a chemical reaction and then to see the direct effect of changing hydrodynamic parameters on the reactor performance. The partner organization will have a protocol to optimize its process by tuning the operating conditions. In addition, the partner organization will […]

The forest industry is going through a transformation worldwide. Competitive limitations faced by companies starting with the newsprint demand decline have required process modernization and portfolio diversification. As a result, the forest biorefinery emerged – facilities for the production of biofuels, biochemicals, and biomaterials. The forest sector has adopted the biorefinery concept globally because it […]

Le transport adapté des personnes ayant des besoins particuliers est une activité qui demande des outils et méthodes de planification différents du transport collectif régulier. Dans ce projet, nous proposons trois éléments : 1) des modèles de prévision de la demande de transport adapté à court et moyen terme, 2) un outil de planification permettant […]

The intent of this project is to address the high-speed electronic portion of a silicon photonic transceiver solution that will explore new and innovative metro reach terabit optical modems. In total there are five projects that combine to create the solution. These five project areas are silicon photonic design, high-speed electronic design, modelling, packaging and […]

Documentation is an integral part of any product development. Product and documentation should co-evolve; whenever the product is changed the documentation should be updated and vice versa. Yet, oftentimes, multiple documentation and product versions may exist; between and within the documentation of the product, relations and dependencies may or may not be explicit, documented, trustworthy […]

Nowadays, we are witnessing a wide adoption of Machine learning (ML) models in many software systems. They are even being tested in safety-critical systems, thanks to recent breakthroughs in deep learning and reinforcement learning. Bombardier, a world leader company in the domain of aerospace have started integrating deep learning models in its products, systems and […]

For decades, contact probes on coordinate measuring machine (CMM) have been widely used for data acquisition in coordinate metrology, mainly because of their high accuracy. However, the acquired data is a low-density set of points, because sampling using a contact probe is a slow process. Nowadays, optical 3D scanning technologies such as structured-light scanners or […]

User needs analysis is a major concern in innovation projects and needs analysis methods differ in level of details, information overview, structure, interrelations, transparency, and ease of use. Depending on the project, the involved stakeholders, the required level of details, and time constraints, it is not clear which method should be used and why. The […]

Paints are complex colloidal suspensions that usually contain binders (resins), solvents, pigments and rheological modifiers. From production to applications, these raw materials should remain uniformly mixed and stable during pumping processes and storage, as well as after application with brushes, rollers, spray guns, etc. It is very important to know how the paint behaves under […]

Pour planifier à moyen-terme un système hydroélectrique, il est nécessaire de déterminer une politique de gestion de ses réservoirs, c’est-à-dire la quantité d’eau à utiliser à chaque semaine pour répondre à une demande électrique ou d’autres contraintes. Cette politique de gestion couvre un horizon allant jusqu’à 2 ans et doivent tenir compte de la principale […]
