Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning
$25,000.00
Vision Picking Application
FY 2016-17
Summary
Portable Intelligence Inc., a software provider of supply chain solutions is pleased to submit this project proposal to develop a new picking module based on augmented reality technology for its warehouse management system, RF Plus. AR uses images, animation, and wearable technology such as smart glasses to create an interactive experience of ones surroundings. Portable Intelligences Vision Picking module will allow warehouses to reduce or eliminate the need to use barcode scanning for location or parts identification. Furthermore, this technology will better direct and control the warehouse tasks, including guiding the worker in the most efficient travel path. These efficiency gains are particularly important for companies seeking to reduce the cost of picking activities associated with their online orders. We request funding for this project through the Ontario Centres of Excellence and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. Sheridan Colleges Screen Industries Research and Training Centre (SIRT) will be Portable Intelligences applied research and development partner on this project. SIRT, a federally supported Technology Access Centre, has been focusing on research and development in the areas of virtual and augmented reality applications and experiences. Research activities for this project will be conducted at SIRT and will involve student researchers from Sheridans Computer Science programs.
