Automatic Tracking of Safety-related Certifications

跟踪工作场所安全认证是一个重要的过程，可以确保工作场所安全，同时最大限度地提高生产数量和质量。Coolbreeze是一家总部位于密西沙加的暖通空调公司，该公司寻求与谢里丹学院合作开发算法，使这一过程自动化，以提高过程效率、可访问性和可靠性，同时降低与手动内部跟踪过程相关的成本。拟议的模型将涉及几种算法的开发，这些算法将联合收割机结合移动的计算和云计算，用于自动跟踪、管理、存档、报告、调度和分析个人在整个职业生涯中持有的所有安全认证和许可证。这些算法将提高用于验证目的的安全相关认证的效率和可访问性。该研究项目将：1）调查现有数据分析平台、云平台和移动的计算技术的使用情况，以自动跟踪和分析与安全相关的认证;以及2）提供关于预期验证和更新日期的指南/通知，以满足法定的安全要求。将进行的应用研究将为现有的与安全相关的认证系统添加一个核心组件。此组件可自动执行认证验证和更新过程。它还将帮助行业合作伙伴选择最合格的技术人员，这将提高安全性和产品质量，从而促进客户信任并吸引新客户。此外，它将让学生参与解决现实世界的问题，这将增加他们为未来创新做出贡献的潜力。

Tracking workplace safety certifications is an important process that ensures workplace safety while maximizing production quantity and quality. Coolbreeze, a Mississauga-based HVAC company, seeks to partner with Sheridan College to develop algorithms to automate this process to improve the process efficiency, accessibility and reliability while reducing costs associated with their manual in-house tracking process. The proposed model will involve the development of several algorithms that combine mobile computing and cloud computing for automatic tracking, administering, archiving, reporting, scheduling and analyzing all safety certifications and licenses that an individual holds throughout the course of their career. The algorithms will improve the efficiency and accessibility of safety-related certifications for verification purposes. This research project will: 1) investigate the usage of the available data analytics platforms, cloud platforms and mobile computing technologies to automate the tracking and analysis of safety-related certifications; and 2) provide guidelines/notifications on expected verification and renewal dates to meet the legislated safety requirements.The applied research to be undertaken will add a core component to an existing safety-related certification system. This component automates the certification verification and renewal process. It will also help the industry partner to select the most qualified technicians, which will improve safety and product quality and, in turn, promote client trust and attract new customers. In addition, it will engage students in addressing real-world problems, which will increase their potential for contributing to future innovation.
