Current projects
Measuring inventory levels
Our faculty and information systems students are currently partnering to build a system that will automatically measure the number of raw materials at each workstation on an assembly line and ensure that a factory never runs out of stock. If levels begin to drop, the system will connect to SAP to send out alerts to various departments.
