Technology Access Centre Aerospace and Manufacturing

在nserc的CCI计划的支持下，红河学院（RRC）成立了航空航天和制造业技术访问中心（TACAM或TAC），作为访问马尼托巴航空航天和制造业以前无法直接获得的特定技术和专业知识的门户。TAC的基础是RRC对曼尼托巴省在先进材料加工（包括金属和复合材料）、机器人和自动化、先进数字无损检测、可视化和专业培训等领域的技术需求的创新回应，通过建立价值超过3000万美元的五个主要研究、教育和培训设施，直接满足这些需求。学院通过这些设施和RRC在各种新兴技术方面的丰富专业知识为工业提供服务。在过去的四年半里，技术咨询委员会一直专注于最初提出的应用研究、技术服务和知识传播的服务组合。交谘会积极与区内的大型机构和中小型企业合作，在这三个服务类别中分别开展活动。交谘会为40多个机构提供服务，并提供超过6万工时的行业培训。交谘会在51个月的进度报告中详细描述了交谘会在执行其拟议任务，以及将活动和结果与表现指标相一致方面所取得的进展。除了谘询委员会对工业界的直接影响外，研研委员会还逐步在特定的研究主题和课题上发展技术专长、知识和经验，以支持工业界。NSERC的支持也增强了RRC与工业界保持密切联系的能力，以评估马尼托巴制造业社区的不同新兴技术。RRC要求将nserc CCI的TAC支持再延长5年。如果没有这种支持，行业对toRRC技术资产和专业知识的访问将非常有限。研究委员会TAC的持续运作对于保持创新和持续应用研究项目和服务的势头至关重要。成功地更新交谘会，不但可以维持进展，而且可以为有待探索的新机会和可能性铺平道路，是无价的。例如，TAC目前被定位为即将到来的工业4.0革命的合作者，国家研究委员会的未来工厂（FoF），协作机器人等。交谘会会继续为业界提供平台，让业界参与能力建设，以提高生产力和竞争力，并为本地提供熟练的劳动力。

The Technology Access Centre for Aerospace and Manufacturing (TACAM or the TAC) at Red RiverCollege (RRC) was established, through the support ofNSERC's CCI program, as a gateway for accessingspecific technologies and expertise previously unavailable directly to Manitoba's aerospace andmanufacturing industries. The foundation for the TAC was RRC's innovative response to Manitoba'stechnological needs in the areas of advanced materials processing (including metals and composites),robotics and automation, advanced digital non-destructive inspection, visualization and specialized trainingsby the establishment of five major research, education and training facilities worth in excess of $30M thatdirectly address these needs. The College serves industry through these facilities and with RRC's richexpertise in various emerging technologies.Over the last four and a half years, the TAC has focused on the originally proposed service portfolios ofapplied research, technical services and knowledge diffusion. The TAC is actively engaged with both largeorganizations and small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs) around the region, with activities in each of thethree service categories. The TAC served over 40 organizations and provided more than 60,000 man hoursof industry training. The progress made by the TAC in delivering its proposed mandate and aligning theactivities and results with the performance metrics are described in detail in the 51 month progress report.Aside from the direct impact of the TAC on industry, RRC has been able to progressively develop technicalexpertise, know-how and experience in specific research themes and topics to support industry. NSERC'ssupport has also enhanced RRC's ability to sustain close ties with industry in evaluating different emergingtechnologies for the Manitoba manufacturing community.RRC is requesting the renewal ofNSERC CCI's TAC support for another five-year period. Access toRRC's technological assets and expertise by industry would have been extremely limited without thissupport. RRC's continual operation of the TAC is critical for sustaining the momentum towards innovationand on-going applied research programs and services. Successful renewal of the TAC will be invaluable,not only in sustaining progress, but also in paving ways for newer opportunities and possibilities that are yetto be explored. For example, the TAC is currently being positioned as a collaborator in the imminentIndustry 4.0 revolution, the National Research Council's Factory of the Future (FoF), collaborativerobotics, etc. The TAC will continue to provide the portal for engaging industry in capacity building toincrease productivity and competitiveness, and to provide skilled workforce for the local region.
