Grants and Contributions

This project will focus on developing essential integration features and capabilities for the next generation of Forcen’s cutting-edge force-torque sensor development kits. These kits enable robotics engineers to integrate and customize Forcen’s proprietary sensing technology to meet their unique use cases and application requirements. Specifically, this project will ensure dev-kit compatibility with all communication protocols currently supported by Forcen’s proprietary electronics. This enhanced compatibility will simplify integration for robotics engineers and significantly broaden the range of potential customers that Forcen’s development kits can serve.

Cortex Agritechnology will convert its proven barn-controller prototype into a market-ready product and layer it with cloud-based AI analytics. The 18-month project will standardize the modular Cortex Controller hardware for fast, plug-and-play installation, expose secure APIs for third-party integration, and build FarmInsights—an AI engine that turns live environmental, system and animal data into actionable alerts and performance dashboards. The result will cut install time by half, reduce operating costs for producers, and position Canadian technology for export.
