Intégration des technologies RF, RFID et télémétrique sans-fil appliquées aux vérins hydrauliques

Mailhot Industries Inc.是一家总部位于魁北克的公司，拥有300名员工，从事高延伸液压缸的制造，并在重型公路运输车辆（如卡车和起重机）的尖端技术领域工作。该公司打算实验性地开发集成在液压缸内的RF/RFID和无线遥测技术，该技术将测量液压缸在现场操作过程中的延伸距离和循环运动次数，并将所有信息中继到远程IP服务器。这个项目需要在应用研究方面取得进展。为此，Mailhot正在寻求C2T3在无线通信和电磁模拟方面的专业知识来开发这项创新技术。对于该公司来说，该项目是一个重要的创新载体，旨在通过使用RF/RFID和遥测技术对钢瓶操作进行自动化监控，从而增强公司的竞争力，从而提高其产品的运营效率，降低维护成本并实现其商业模式的现代化。在整个加拿大，这类产品的市场价值约为2.5亿美元。在5年的时间里，产品工程和营销部门可能会创造15个工作岗位。这个应用研究项目为加拿大提供了绝佳的商业机会、技术创新和创造就业机会的潜力。

Mailhot Industries Inc. is a Quebec-based company with 300 employees working in the manufacture of high elongation hydraulic cylinders and at the cutting edge of technology for heavy road transport vehicles, such as trucks and cranes. The company intends to experimentally develop RF/RFID and wireless telemetry technologies integrated inside the hydraulic cylinders, which will measure the elongation distance and the number of cyclic movements experienced by the hydraulic cylinders during their operations on site, and relay all the information to a remote IP server. This project requires advances in applied research. To do this, Mailhot is seeking C2T3's expertise in wireless telecommunications and electromagnetic simulations to develop this innovative technology. For the company, this project is an important vector of innovation designed to strengthen the company's competitiveness through automated monitoring of cylinder operations using RF/RFID and telemetric technologies, making it possible to increase the operating efficiency of its products, reduce maintenance costs and modernize its business model. Across Canada, the market for this type of product is in the order of $250 million. The creation of 15 jobs is possible over a five-year period for product engineering and marketing. This applied research project represents an excellent business opportunity, technological innovation, and job creation potential for Canada.
