Develop a functional prototype of an online decision support system to help bed assignment decision makers in hospitals assign patients into appropriate beds more efficiently and effectively with respect to various assignment objectives such as accommodation match.

Improve ShapeArray products to make them field extendable and provide simplified integration paths for 3rd party data collection systems to expand market opportunities.

Develop a program that will read code from a completed 3D CAD Catia part file and automatically write a CAM CNC Machining G-CODE file to machine that work piece without the use of manual code writing software. The primary objective is to control and standardize the programming and machining of custom components. Additionally, it will speed up the development of the CAM programming process and eliminate the possibility of human error.

A successful business has been built selling subscriptions that allow organizations to efficiently collect and manage solid waste and recycling data using the Re-TRAC Connect software platform. There are, however, many other sustainability-related and socially-oriented industries and sectors that could benefit from a web-based service that can improve the efficiency of how information is collected and managed. Our goal is to identify and target opportunities in these other sectors and build viable businesses by adapting the software to address their needs.

Evaluate and assess the architecture and development environment of existing software products and recommend a new architectural design and other enhancements to overcome software issues and meet product demands.

Digital Engineering plans to adapt the very successful Dispatch Message Automation (DMA) product so that it will deliver the same functionality that it provides in the Ontario IESO market to other electricity markets throughout North America . The product allows generators and grid connected loads to receive dispatch messages from the IESO. The DMA has the largest install base in Ontario for software of this kind. The DMA eliminates the burden of personnel constantly monitoring for dispatch signals that are issued by the market operator. The DMA can generate generate alarms to annunciate the need for operator intervention or completely automate the response by interfacing with plant control systems.

• Design and build of a system for application of adhesive tape

i3 International’s QSR Project aims to provide automated, Artificial Intelligence and Convolutional Neural Networks (AI/CNN) solutions specifically designed to increase profitability for the Quick Service Restaurant industry. By leveraging their existing video surveillance security system investment and turning it into a ubiquitous tool, the QSR Project will collect, analyze and respond to new data. The ultimate aim of this project is to develop an AI platform that can provide real-time reports to fast food restaurants based on the behavior of customers and the data collected from their video surveillance cameras

This project relates to the development of an Intelligent Machine Control System used for motion synchronization and safety management of complexed automated industrial machinery, using the benefits of Artificial Intelligence to improve diagnostics and reliability by way of advanced algorithmic intervention.

Invest in development of Slat and Slat Shoe project. Based on demonstrated customer demand, AMDOR has applied for a patent to protect IP conceptualized around eliminating / minimizing side seal wear on anodized and painted door surfaces.
