AI4M Collaboration: Thales Canada | NGen
We have divided the project into 3 sections, we are open to working with different partners in the project:
1. The automation of the receiving inspection process and stores:
a) Use visual recognition and laser scanning technology with cobots for the inspection of components according to the CAD file or 3D model.
b) Automed stores with automated picking from the shelfs, kits assembly and distribution on production areas upon request.
2) Introduction or AI planning and optimization capabilities to our shop monitoring and control tool.
a) Production planning and dynamic task assignments based in priority settings, product mix and resources while keeping low levels of WIP.
b) Production delays forecasting and recommendations
c) Provided by cameras and AI software the system should recognize the components and provide the instructions required by the operation.
d) Adaptive interface according to tasks user and history.
3) Automation of process and testing.
a) Develop AI algorithms combined robotics to automate the infrared detector calibration process and final tests.
About Thales Canada, Defence and Security, Optronics:
We are a Defence Equipment manufacturer specialized el electro-optic (i.e thermal imagers) solutions for the land forces.
Project Objectives:
-
Automate the inspection process through Automated visual system (high tolerances)
-
Automate the stores picking and distribution system (in stores and among manufacturing cells)
-
Incorporate AI to incorporate logistics and optimization capabilities to our planning tool monitoring tool.
-
Incorporate AI/ML into our image calibration and testing processes
What THEY bring to the table:
Our expertise is in the manufacturing and testing of Electro optic sensor, our role is the manufacturer.
What YOU will bring to the table:
AI/ML and robotics implementation in manufacturing with a mix of products going through the same production lines.
