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

莫霍克学院应用研究部IdeaWorks是许多汉密尔顿地区企业值得信赖的研发合作伙伴，自2010年成立以来，它从战略上建设了关键地区行业的能力，并使其产品与行业需求保持一致。IdeaWorks ARTP的目标是帮助合作伙伴数字化和连接传统上未连接的设备、资产和流程，并提高数字系统的安全性和可靠性。为了实现这些目标，IdeaWorks团队将与信息和通信技术(ICT)(软件、硬件和数字健康公司)和制造商的行业合作伙伴合作。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战略上包括物联网(IoT)的软件和/或硬件。从2018-23年，物联网连接预计将在全球范围内增加两倍。这一增长突显了越来越多的互联互通机会，这造成了重大的网络安全差距和风险。IdeaWorks将解决这些风险，作为加强合作伙伴硬件/软件沟通的网络安全项目的一部分。物联网创造的另一个机会是数字设备运营跟踪，以推进维护战略。这一点很重要，因为糟糕的维护策略可能会使工厂的整体生产能力降低5-20%。IdeaWorks将帮助公司采用物联网设备跟踪传感器系统和软件开发。ARTP将使IdeaWorks能够招聘和培训多达27名学生，帮助他们发展软件开发、传感器集成、数据/图像分析、硬件设计、测试和迭代以及模拟等领域的技术技能。公平、多样性和包容性(EDI)是莫霍克的一项主要承诺，全学院EDI行动计划表明了这一点，以确保我们的团队反映我们的社区，我们的工作场所是包容和无障碍的。对于ARTP，IdeaWorks将通过对所有IdeaWorks团队成员的培训来继续努力，并与公平和包容性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.
