The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking to automate parts of their procurement, logistics, and distribution processes by applying Augmented Reality (AR) solutions to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Vecna Robotics' world-leading automation consulting team is well-positioned to leverage a deep and broad understanding of advanced technology and its application to warehouse operations. Vec ...

Guild Associates, Inc. proposes to develop and evaluate an active electrochemical sensor based residual life indicator (RLI) for adsorptive carbon filters. The sensing system of the RLI will operate by analyzing the electrochemical state of the carbon within the filter and evaluate the remaining adsorptive reactive capacities of the filter. The sensor design will be challenged against an array of ...

CDJ Technologies is an additive manufacturing (AM) company with technology that enables rapid printing over large build volumes. Thisresultant production throughput is differentiating within the AM technology space and enables the adoption of AM technology to addresslimited production-runs. There exist many items where the ability to customize a single component of a system can add substantial val ...

This project aims to make Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing a practical tool for supply chain management for the Defense Logistics Agency.The key step is developing process standardization to make LBPF quality vendor independent. This project will seek to demonstrate the use of a promising high speed melt pool monitoring device as a practical means to establish such process sta ...

Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) and Siemens PLM Software propose an integrated Automated Processing. Monitoring, Control and Remediation System (Aul) to provide a process monitoring and control capability. Made In Space, Inc. leads the effort based on integrating Made In Space, Inc., proven inspection sensors systems with a Digital Thread for Additive Manufacturing (DTAM) system, co-developed by Siemens ...

The Department of Defense (DoD) has a demand for out-of-production parts to maintain mission readiness of various weapons platforms. Additive manufacturing (AM) is an exciting and promising manufacturing technique that can make out-of-production parts and holds the potential to solve supply chain issues, such as high costs (i.e. for low-volume parts) and sole sourcing risks. The ability of AM to s ...

Universal Technology Corporation (UTC) has teamed with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), Stratonics, and Macy Consulting to demonstrate not only the transitionability into commercial systems, but also to develop the data analytics and monitoring and control requirements to extract the full value fromseveral sensors, including the Stratonics ThermaViz, acoustic and profilometry se ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a modern and increasingly popular manufacturing process for metallic components, but suffers from well known problems of inconsistent quality of the finished product. Process monitoring and feedback control are therefore crucial research areas with a goal of solving this problem. To address this concern, X-wave Innovations, Inc. (XII) and the University of Dayton Res ...

Providing timely physical and mental health support to Servicemembers and determining their readiness for duty after mTBI is crucial to maintaining mobility, survivability, lethality, and adaptability of our US Armed Forces. While research indicates that

The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma
