SICK Canada Extends Agreement and Continues Industry 4.0 Readiness With Humber
SICK Canada has officially signed the extension of their existing partnership agreement for a further two-year period, extending until December 31, 2023.
FAST faculty and staff will continue to benefit from this partnership with new learning pathways and opportunities for students, faculty and industry experts to collaborate on the latest technology to solve real-world industry automation and Industry 4.0 business challenges.
A founding member of Humber’s Advanced Manufacturing Skills Consortium, SICK will continue its investment providing training opportunities for students, scholarship support and in-kind contributions of products and services to support the SICK Sensor Lab, totaling $110,000 with annual contributions provided in 2022 and 2023.
New Stratasys Fortus 900 Printer
Humber was recently awarded $2.5 million in grants from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to build an end-toend IoT ecosystem for a full spectrum of collaborators within the Humber community.
As part of that investment, a new Stratasys Fortus 900 printer was purchased and will soon be making its way into the Javelin Additive Manufacturing Lab.
This versatile printer will provide FAST faculty and staff the opportunity to produce robust production parts, large jigs and fixtures, and functional prototypes.
