Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-00328, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Dick, Scott (University of Alberta), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Addos Technologies is an Edmonton-area provider of Industrial Automation and System Integration services._x000D_
They are currently developing a line of business in condition monitoring of small electric motors in industrial_x000D_
facilities. Only low-cost sensors are economically viable for this problem; Addos believes that inferential_x000D_
sensing based on machine learning will provide competitive sensitivity and specificity using these sensors, but_x000D_
they lack the in-house expertise to conduct the necessary research and development._x000D_
The proposed research will evaluate Addos' planned approach to condition monitoring. Addos has collected_x000D_
machine condition data from both laboratory experiments (in which faults are deliberately induced), and field_x000D_
observations at an industrial site. We will use these datasets to train and evaluate inferential sensors based on a_x000D_
variety of traditional and deep learning algorithms. Once the best-performing algorithm is identified, University_x000D_
and Addos personnel will work together to productize it. We will hold a three-day workshop with the Addos_x000D_
and University personnel, during which the Addos personnel will first be instructed in intelligent systems_x000D_
design, and then the entire team will work on the productization as an extended example thereof. At the_x000D_
conclusion of the workshop, Addos should be able to design and implement intelligent condition monitoring_x000D_
solutions for other clients, giving them a new line of business. Assuming this project is successful, Addos_x000D_
expects to hire 20-30 additional personnel over the next five years to meet the additional demand for their_x000D_
services., program purpose french : Addos Technologies is an Edmonton-area provider of Industrial Automation and System Integration services._x000D_
