Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1

Planiselect Inc. is a Quebec company working in the field of electrical work for computer cabling services. In order to face the challenges and risks arising during the installation of structured cabling such as proximity to high-voltage lines, worker safety, difficult working conditions and rapid intervention, the company wants to develop a small IoT device grafted on the operator to ensure the traceability of the execution of tasks and safety interventions. Specifically, Planiselect wants to develop a device connected and adapted to a proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) application whose specifications meet the rapid monitoring of its services and the sending of automated messages in case of accidents involving its workers. This device must be designed to allow an optimization of the deployment of services (based on GPS mapping), an extraction of information associated with the safe execution of tasks and the occurrence of accidents from embedded sensors, and finally facilitate the intelligent analysis of signals to alert the occurrence of accidents. To do so, Planiselect is seeking C2T3's expertise in Interconnected Objects (IoT) in order to determine possible solutions for the development of this AI-assisted safety monitoring system. For Planiselect, this project is an important vector of innovation and growth intended to position itself competitively and in a regulatory manner in the structured cabling services market.
