Montreal ‘smart factory’ aims to show potential of warehouse automation
The $8-million facility is the fourth of its kind in the world, said Genevieve Provost, the company’s managing partner for Quebec and the Ottawa region. There are similar demonstration facilities in the United States, Japan and Germany, she said, but the Montreal location is unique because its main focus is warehousing. Provost said Deloitte’s clients are increasingly looking for advice on how they can prepare for the future.
Computer vision advancements also allow automated systems to receive goods — scanning incoming pallets and detecting the number of packages and whether any are damaged — as they’re unloaded from a truck by an automated forklift. Veronique Proulx, the CEO of manufacturing industry association Manufacturiers et Exportateurs du Quebec, said the smart factory “could be interesting” for her members.
