Kinectrics specializes in life cycle management services to the electricity industry. Life cycle assessment helps to better understand the energy and environmental performance of electricity generation systems. Kinectrics is a leading supplier of Nuclear Plant Engineering services covering all disciplines. For nuclear plants, they provide specialty engineering and analysis services where they develop and improve piping and pressure boundary designs. In order to accelerate their growth and for future planning, it has become necessary for them to develop innovative solutions that improve their efficiency and accuracy. They have approached Durham College to develop a suite of software automation tools (including the use of Computer Vision) to aid Design Engineers and Drafting staff to deliver engineering products to their clients. These tools will reduce tedious tasks and improve accuracy, resulting in enhancing Kinectrics' competitiveness, increasing their revenues and profitability.
