Continuing in the development of a fully automated exploration drill for the mineral exploration market, the firm aims to deliver automated rod-handlers, rod sloops and wirelines to compliment its recently developed automated mast features. In the race to deliver a fully automated rig, the focus now shifts to the equipment around the drill to create a truly hands free solution. Additionally, building upon the firm's recently developed drilling control system, it is necessary to develop a robust algorithm which precisely calculates the depth of the drill bit real time, thereby enhancing the quality and correlation of data captured apart from the use of the firm's existing data logging system.

Development of a valve stem-mounted tire sensor that enables real-time tread depth monitoring for commercial vehicle through easy after-market integration.

Able Innovations is advancing the commercialization of ALTA Platform, a medical robotics device designed to enable a single caregiver to conduct patient transfer in a safe, efficient & dignified manner. This Youth hire will focus on market research, business development, and client engagement to drive adoption and scalability.

This project will test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms to design a repeatable and scalable business process, which may result in new business methods for online wills.

This project will enhance CliniScripts, an AI-powered clinical documentation platform, by adding new features designed to increase its accessibility, scalability, and integration readiness.

HTI has unique manufacturing concepts developed for PTFE bearings and support systems that are compatible with the methods, both of which can be further developed with some proprietary concepts in engineering design, and material enhancements to optimize product performance and reliability. This project will allow HTI to develop best in class products.

Automatic Coating Limited (ACL) has established itself as a world leader in customized specialty coating equipment for export globally. ACL is working to develop the 3rd generation of these machines which is a scalable machine to fit in a smaller footprint.
ACL has developed and patented a Tidal Coat Fluidized Bed coating machine and system that will automatically coat a watertight door and fixtures with first pass quality in under 2 minutes. These machines are being considered for deployment to foreign allied Navy’s maintenance centres however there is a requirement for a one coat system and a system that will fit into a smaller footprint.

The project will provide services to Canadian SMEs through the Composites Research Network's (CRN) nodes with the appropriate domain expertise.

Develop world first all alum 3 chord truss with keder alum extrusion attached to top chord of truss with a 4 in space between top chord and 2nd chord. the second and bottom chord a special extrusion stronger than 1.9 in hss and 45% LIGHTER than steel. the three chord truss can be used also as a bridge scaffold without keder extrusion.

While numerous studies highlighted the economic benefits of indoor manufacturing for the construction industry, the human and societal dimension associated with this novel delivery paradigm has not yet received sufficient attention. Accordingly, this Project aims to fill this gap by building a framework that would allow researchers and policymakers to evaluate whether the human dimension will act as a positive feedback loop for the adoption of the off-site paradigm in the construction industry.
