NAIT's Centre for Sensors and System Integration (CSSI) supports industry partners with their sensor-based challenges by developing prototypes focused on sensors for measurement, monitoring, and instrumentation. With the current trend of Industry 4.0 and digitalization, these sensor innovations are now commonly incorporated into wireless communications and networking systems, commonly referred to as Internet of Things (IoT). The region does not currently have a comprehensive test ecosystem, therefore there is reliance on test equipment only available elsewhere (outside the province), or work is carried out with incomplete test suites. This is inconvenient, cost prohibitive and slow to produce meaningful results. The lack of access to test equipment is a major barrier to innovation as the capital costs associated with acquiring such infrastructure, and hiring and training the necessary personnel, are severely cost prohibitive, particularly for SMEs. To bridge this innovation capacity issue, CSSI proposes to purchase a suite of IoT test and characterization equipment to help industry partners more quickly and easily test and validate their innovative IoT and Industrial IoT (IIoT) technologies. The ability to test such products/solutions in the proposed test ecosystem would also be of benefit to our partner organizations within the post-secondary and public sectors, for applications such as smart sensors for monitoring operation processes, autonomous vehicle development, and other innovations.**

NAIT 的传感器和系统集成中心 (CSSI) 通过开发专注于测量、监控和仪器仪表传感器的原型，为行业合作伙伴应对基于传感器的挑战提供支持。 随着当前工业 4.0 和数字化的趋势，这些传感器创新现在通常被纳入无线通信和网络系统，通常称为物联网 (IoT)。该地区目前没有全面的测试生态系统，因此只能依赖其他地方（省外）提供的测试设备，或者使用不完整的测试套件进行工作。 这很不方便，成本高昂，而且产生有意义的结果的速度很慢。缺乏测试设备是创新的主要障碍，因为与获取此类基础设施以及雇用和培训必要人员相关的资本成本严重过高，特别是对于中小企业而言。 为了解决这一创新能力问题，CSSI 建议购买一套物联网测试和表征设备，以帮助行业合作伙伴更快、更轻松地测试和验证其创新物联网和工业物联网 (IIoT) 技术。 在拟议的测试生态系统中测试此类产品/解决方案的能力也将使我们在高等教育和公共部门的合作伙伴组织受益，例如用于监控操作流程的智能传感器、自动驾驶汽车开发和其他创新等应用。 **
