The ARTP activities at George Brown College (GBC) will be carried out by the GBC Product Development Exchange (PDx), delivering innovative solutions in electromechanical hardware product and process innovation, and Fashion Exchange (FX), solving textile and apparel challenges with product and process innovation. These research areas are in high demand in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), demonstrated by extensive market research and keen interest from our partners who were consulted to identify the proposed ARTP research themes based on feasibility, partner engagement and business impact.The electromechanical engineering and textile, apparel design and manufacturing (TADM) sectors have been disrupted by globalization, digitization, new technologies and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic; in addition, the TADM sector struggles with textile pollution and companies reshoring production to mitigate supply chain risks, quality and sustainability issues, long lead times and overproduction. In 2020, 29.4% of Canadian manufacturers laid off 80% of their staff due to COVID-19 and industry profit collapsed by up to 93%. Although SMEs from both sectors are eager to embrace new technologies and adapt to new sustainability standards, capacity to do this is out of reach for most due to lack of expertise and equipment. In a post-COVID-19 global market, GTA electromechanical manufacturing firms are challenged to 1) design and develop innovative new products that respond to changing consumer attitudes and new public safety requirements, and 2) embrace process improvement, including the adoption and adaptation of technologies, and new product development workflows to support remote working and physical separation. Textile and apparel firms continue to face the acute need to 1) enhance functionality in textile technology, garment features, construction, and design to reduce textile pollution, and 2) create innovative clothing adaptations for persons with disabilities, dressing challenges, unique functionality needs, or new non-stigmatizing designs that provide independence and comfort.The ARTP research program will allow GBC's PDx and FX to support local businesses in addressing these challenges. The program will be carried out under two themes: 1. Product and process innovation in electromechanical hardware, and 2. Product and process innovation in textile and apparel. Each theme will contain two sub-themes and four projects, as detailed in the proposal document.

乔治布朗学院 (GBC) 的 ARTP 活动将由 GBC 产品开发交易所 (PDx) 和时尚交易所 (FX) 开展，前者提供机电硬件产品和工艺创新方面的创新解决方案，后者通过产品和解决方案解决纺织和服装挑战。流程创新。这些研究领域在大多伦多地区 (GTA) 的需求量很大，这通过广泛的市场研究和我们的合作伙伴的浓厚兴趣得到证明，我们的合作伙伴根据可行性、合作伙伴参与度和业务影响确定了拟议的 ARTP 研究主题。机电工程纺织、服装设计和制造 (TADM) 行业受到全球化、数字化、新技术以及最近的 COVID-19 大流行的干扰；此外，TADM 行业还面临着纺织品污染和企业回流生产以减轻供应链风险、质量和可持续性问题、交货时间长和生产过剩等问题的困扰。 2020年，29.4%的加拿大制造商因COVID-19而解雇了80%的员工，行业利润暴跌高达93%。尽管这两个行业的中小企业都渴望采用新技术并适应新的可持续发展标准，但由于缺乏专业知识和设备，大多数企业无法做到这一点。在后 COVID-19 全球市场中，GTA 机电制造公司面临以下挑战：1) 设计和开发创新的新产品，以应对不断变化的消费者态度和新的公共安全要求；2) 拥抱流程改进，包括采用和适应技术和新产品开发工作流程，以支持远程工作和物理隔离。纺织和服装公司继续面临以下迫切需求：1）增强纺织技术、服装功能、结构和设计的功能，以减少纺织品污染；2）为残疾人、着装挑战、独特的功能需求创造创新的服装适应， ARTP 研究计划将使 GBC 的 PDx 和 FX 能够支持当地企业应对这些挑战。该计划将围绕两个主题进行：1.机电硬件产品和工艺创新，2.纺织服装产品和工艺创新。每个主题将包含两个子主题和四个项目，详见提案文件。
