Humber College research team led by Professor Timothy Wong in the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology has successfully collaborated with a Toronto-based industry partner for a project that exemplifies process innovation.
The main challenge faced by the industry partner was finding methods of optimizing the current process of pairing IoT devices to backend data collection and analytics. After careful testing, it was found that the optimized process reduced the duration of the deployment process by 60%. The new process developed by the Humber research team was confirmed to be viable and practical in an actual deployment setting. The research team concludes that this process innovation, in effect, will generate significant savings in efficiency and labour costs for the industry partner.
