Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Bridge Bike works Inc
$71,900.00
Robotics implementation study
FY 2024-25 · 2025-02-01
Summary
The firm will conduct an immersive review of all potential robotics applications that have the potential to assist with post production preparation of carbon fiber parts. Processing carbon fiber parts in preparation for paint is laborious. Upwards of 80% of that labor is not skilled, it is largely removing material. The final 20% is highly skilled. The firm believes that robotic automation in this area could reduce bottlenecks in production flow, retain staff in that area by reducing a lot of labor and allowing them to both operate the robot as well as use their skills, and generally increase revenues by improving throughput.

Description (French)
L’entreprise procédera à un examen approfondi de toutes les applications potentielles de la robotique susceptibles de faciliter la préparation des pièces en fibre de carbone en postproduction. Le traitement des pièces en fibre de carbone en vue de la peinture est laborieux. Plus de 80 % de ce travail n’est pas qualifié, il s’agit en grande partie d’enlever de la matière. Les 20 % restants sont hautement qualifiés. L’entreprise estime que l’automatisation robotique dans ce domaine pourrait réduire les goulets d’étranglement dans le flux de production, retenir le personnel dans ce domaine en réduisant une grande partie de la main-d’œuvre et en leur permettant à la fois de faire fonctionner le robot et d’utiliser leurs compétences, et augmenter globalement les revenus en améliorant le rendement.
