Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Analyze Maintenance/ Production data to formulate AI models
1026646
Vision Automation has been collecting large amounts of data from the extrusion lines it built and put into service. Data ranges from operating temperatures of the machine zones, to scrap amounts per run, to material recipes, as well as other data parameters. A dashboard was created for real-time visualization per building (7buildings, 250lines); however, analysis and identifying potential correlations within the collected data has not be explored. Given the large amount of data (collected over 6 years), a means of mining the data and determining the potential correlations is needed in an effort to improve operating efficiencies, create automated machine calibrations, develop preemptive scheduling, and allow for predictive maintenance.

EV Automated/Continuous Battery Manufacturing
1009923
The creation of a semi-continuous battery slurry mixer and related components (feeders) to integrate slurry materials and to extract the slurry to produce battery cells for the EV market. The system will allow for variable mixing volumes and include advanced data tracking, which is currently not offered by others. The project will work with a battery manufacturer to test the battery slurry mixer in a manufacturing environment.
