Impact stories with Canadian participation
Impact is one of the main ambitions in ITEA. Impact on business, on the market, on society. This is a key value in ITEA, and impact and potential impact are central during the project lifecycle: in project evaluation, monitoring, closure and in communication of the results. With the (financial) support of national Public Authorities, many ITEA projects have achieved incredible results, which are gathered in ITEA Impact stories.
PIANiSM Impact story
04 October 2024Predictive maintenance (PdM), using data-driven, proactive maintenance techniques designed to analyse the condition of equipment and helping to predict when maintenance should be performed, offers benefits across many fields, from manufacturing to mining to automotive. However, most of these solutions are domain or problem-specific, with implementation costs and complexity serving as obstacles to uptake. PIANiSM aimed to merge predictive and prescriptive maintenance techniques to achieve an end-to-end automated manufacturing process and optimise end-to-end manufacturing value chains.

PARTNER Impact story
04 December 2023During a patient’s journey through the health system, his or her medical information is often stored in multiple databases focusing on specific elements of the needed care and the patient’s condition – even within one hospital. These databases generally cannot interact, which makes it impossible to draw up all information belonging to one patient. In addition, information coming from self-monitoring solutions can also be very valuable when integrated with hospital’s data. The PARTNER project has developed an architecture that makes it possible to let different systems, offered by multiple vendors, communicate with each other.

VMAP Impact story
01 December 2023A wide range of computer-aided engineering (CAE) software tools already enables virtual material and product design, virtual manufacturing and machining process parameterisation, and virtual product testing of high-tech materials. However, these tools are rarely interoperable and contain multiple native formats for storing the CAE data to be transferred between simulation code. The VMAP project has created the world’s first CAE workflow interface standard for integrating multidisciplinary and multi-software simulation processes in the manufacturing industry and its major result is simple: setting up and adapting workflows in computer-aided engineering is now quicker, easier and more cost-effective than ever before.

Our involvement in ITEA has created a kind of future-proofing for our company in many ways. The knowledge and lessons we're getting and the new technologies that we'e building, several of which we’re looking to patent, as a result of our participation, give us a competitive edge and enhances the trust our clients have in our capabilities knowing we have earned the endorsement of ITEA and NRC IRAP.
- Peter Watkins, COO QA Consultants
It's a pretty unique platform that gives entrepreneurs like me a real opportunity to come up with disruptive innovation through interaction with other experts. In fact, ITEA could also serve as a model for what we could or should be doing in Canada.
- Alain Coulombe, CEO 3DSemantix
