Recovery with Digitization and Connectivity of Products and Processes in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Manufacturing

IDEAWORKS是莫霍克学院的应用研究部门，是汉密尔顿地区许多企业值得信赖的研发合作伙伴。自2010年成立以来，IDEAWORKS已战略性地为关键区域部门建立了能力，并使其产品符合行业需求。IDEAWORKS ARTP的目标是帮助合作伙伴数字化和连接传统的非连接设备、资产和流程，并提高数字系统的安全性和可靠性。为实现这些目标，IDEAWORKS团队将与信息和通信技术（ICT）行业伙伴（软件、硬件和数字卫生公司）和制造商合作。IDEAWORKS在开发传感器系统、软件、硬件和技术流程方面的专业知识和经验将帮助合作伙伴抓住数字化机遇。这些项目将支持合作伙伴开发包括物联网（IoT）在内的软件和/或硬件。从2018年到2018年，全球物联网连接预计将增长两倍。这一增长凸显了互联互通机会的增加，同时也带来了巨大的网络安全缺口和风险。IDEAWORKS将解决这些风险，作为网络安全项目的一部分，以加强合作伙伴的硬件/软件通信。物联网创造的另一个机会是数字设备运营跟踪，以推进维护策略。这一点很重要，因为糟糕的维护策略会使工厂的整体生产能力降低5-20%。IDEAWORKS将帮助企业采用物联网设备跟踪传感器系统和软件开发。ARTP将使IDEAWORKS能够雇用和培训多达27名学生，帮助他们在软件开发、传感器集成、数据/图像分析、硬件设计、测试和迭代以及仿真等领域发展技术技能。公平、多元化和包容（EDI）是莫霍克的一项主要承诺，体现在学院范围内的EDI行动计划中，以确保我们的团队反映了我们的社区，我们的工作场所是包容和无障碍的。对于ARTP， IDEAWORKS将继续努力，对IDEAWORKS所有团队成员进行培训，并与公平与包容办公室合作，提供招聘支持。

IDEAWORKS, Mohawk College's applied research department is a trusted R&D partner to many Hamilton-area businesses, and, since its launch in 2010, it has strategically built capacity for key regional sectors and aligned its offerings with industry needs. The IDEAWORKS ARTP objectives are to help partners digitize and connect conventionally non-connected equipment, assets and processes, and improve the security and reliability of digital systems. To achieve these objectives, IDEAWORKS teams will work with industry partners in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) (software, hardware, and digital health companies) and manufacturers.IDEAWORKS' expertise and experience in developing sensor systems, software, hardware, and technology processes will help partners seize digitization opportunities. The projects will support partners with the development of software and/or hardware that strategically include Internet of Things (IoT). IoT connectivity is expected to triple worldwide from 2018-23. That growth highlights increasing interconnectivity opportunities, which creates significant cyber security gaps and risks. IDEAWORKS will address these risks as part of a project in cyber security to strengthen partner hardware/software communications. Another opportunity created by IoT is digital equipment operations tracking to advance maintenance strategies. This is important as poor maintenance strategies can reduce a plant's overall productive capacity by 5-20%. IDEAWORKS will help companies adopt IoT equipment tracking with sensor systems and software development.The ARTP will enable IDEAWORKS to hire and train up to 27 students, helping them develop technical skills in areas such as software development, sensor integration, data/image analysis, hardware design, testing and iteration, and simulation. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is a major Mohawk commitment, demonstrated by the College-wide EDI Action Plan to ensure our team is reflective of our community, and our workplace is inclusive and accessible. For the ARTP, IDEAWORKS will continue the efforts through training for all IDEAWORKS team members and work with the Equity and Inclusivity Office for hiring support.
