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

莫霍克学院的应用研究部门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，它已为关键区域部门战略性地建立了能力，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连接和连接传统非连接设备、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、硬件和数字医疗公司）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性地包括物联网（IoT）的软件和/或硬件。预计从2018年到2023年，全球物联网连接将增加两倍。这种增长凸显了互联互通机会的增加，这造成了重大的网络安全漏洞和风险。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将帮助企业通过传感器系统和软件开发采用物联网设备跟踪。ARTP将使IDEAWORKS能够雇用和培训多达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，测试和迭代以及仿真等领域的技术技能。公平，多样性和包容性（EDI）是莫霍克的一个主要承诺，通过学院范围的EDI行动计划证明，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性和可访问的。对于ARTP，IDEAWORKS将继续努力，培训所有IDEAWORKS团队成员，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.
