The project will assist 10 NRC-IRAP eligible small and medium-sized (SME) manufacturers across Canada in adopting AI in their production systems to improve their productivity, health and safety, and environmental performance. Funds allocated in the program would provide manufacturers working with AI solution providers up to $15,000 to offset eligible costs involved in undertaking feasibility studies to evaluate AI readiness and developing implementation plans, leading to speedier and more successful Industrial AI adoption.
