Team Members

Andy began his engineering career in the injection molding andautomotive industry. Having worked in production as a manufacturingand production engineer and manager, he returned to academia topursue his PhD in manufacturing technologies – specifically productionmonitoring, machining processes, software development and processsimulation.

Since 2009, he has worked in academia and partnered with industry toidentify and implement technical innovations into productionenvironments. He is the Program Lead for the Advanced Manufacturingand Industry 4.0 – AMI4 program.

Lead Facilitator – Andy Simoneau, PEng


Presenters

• Share learning and experience • Support group and individual learning • Develop knowledge and capabilities in all participants • Signpost further opportunities for learning• Inspire action in each other • Experiment and take risks • Keep to time and respect all participants• Observe Zoom etiquette


Housekeeping

Zoom Etiquette

• Before logging in, close unneeded programs and applications on your computer to help keep your video functioning optimally. Consider using a headset with an external microphone for best hearing and speaking capabilities.

• When you have logged in, make sure you use the name you want to be known by on your screen (right click anywhere on the screen to change).

• Open the chat function (Icon in the lower centre of your screen) so you can register questions during the discussions.

• Stay on mute (icon in the lower left of your screen) during all presentations unless asked not to. You can raise your hand to ask questions. If you raise your hand, please wait to be called upon. You can hit the space bar to release it.

• Turn off your video (icon in the lower left of your screen) if you need to do something that might be distracting to others, but re-join by video (voice muted) as soon as you can.

• Be mindful of your background lighting – do not select a distracting background• Remember to “leave the meeting” (icon in the lower right of your screen) when the session is finished.


Training, Software and Assignments

Additive Manufacturing

In our week 2 sessions members of the EOS team will use the Miro workboard to address additive challenges and more specifically focus on your challenges with Additive, Advanced Manufacturing and your Digital Transformation.



Robotics and Automation

The adoption and integration of robotics and automation still present challenges to manufacturers – proper placement, usage, efficiency, programming and control, maintenance . . are critical issues that manufacturers face when deciding to adopt automation tools. We will focus on addressing those challenges with software tools like RobotStudio.



Simulating Operations

It is important to have the right analytical tool to evaluate your operations. Simul8 is a simulation tool that has been widely adopted by different industries and academics for simulating processes and operations.

Week 2 Training Goals• Introduce everyone to using this powerful tool to evaluate their current production environment.• Learn some of the basics of using this type of tool• Identify potential use cases in your own facilities – take home exercise


So What are your Challenges?!?!

What are your advanced manufacturing challenges – Industry 4.0, Additive, Integration, Strategy?


How do you approach automation, what is the integration approach, how do you select the right tools for the job. Addressing issues on the fly!

• How do we connect to bigger, established (or legacy) systems?• How do we split resources and track them so that we can reconnect

them at the end making sure they are collected correctly?• Our processes are a collection of sub-processes. Can we simulate

different processes and then collect them into a larger simulation?
