Hyperconnected supply chain networks for improved circularity

, ,
IMT Mines Albi drew on a use case on retrofitting thermal vehicles into electric vehicles to develop decision support tools to help companies design their supply chains. This work builds on the principles of the physical internet and aims to improve the circularity of supply chain networks.

Protecting sensitive sites: AI in radar systems

,
Radar systems are safe and durable, and used for both detection and surveillance. However, they deliver signals, not images, which can be difficult to interpret. Using artificial intelligence to complement current algorithms offers a technological solution to this problem. The RadaR-IO laboratory, shared by IMT Mines Albi and the company EPSI, is looking to develop and industrialize this solution.

RE-S-EAU: a joint laboratory to improve water management

,
To meet people's water needs, municipalities are equipped with complex systems. Véolia and IMT Mines Albi have teamed up to develop tools and methods for optimizing these networks.   Water management consists of various activities…

Destination moon with additive manufacturing using lunar dust

,
3D printing objects using lunar material is no longer science fiction. To facilitate the establishment of a base on the Moon, researchers at IMT Mines Albi are seriously examining this possibility. In the Institut Clément Ader (ICA) laboratories, they are striving to implement an additive manufacturing process using a terrestrial rock with similar properties to lunar dust. Their aim is to improve the autonomy of the Moon's first inhabitants.

Virtual reality to improve crisis management and cybersecurity

,
Known for its use in entertainment, virtual reality also offers interesting perspectives for crisis management and cybersecurity. Two projects carried out at IMT Mines Albi and IMT Atlantique aim to virtually simulate crises in supply chains…

3D Aerospace: developing precision mapping

, ,
Maps that are updated in real time are particularly useful tools for taking into account regular changes in a geographical area. The start-up 3D Aerospace proposes solutions with multiple applications, from driverless cars to vineyard management. The…

Decadom: solutions for monitoring manufacturing defects

,
IMT Mines Albi and its corporate partner Diota launched the “Inspection 4.0” joint laboratory in 2016 to detect and analyze part manufacturing defects. In 2020, the Decadom project was launched. This initiative has developed inspection…
Déchets plastiques, plastic waste

Plastic waste: transforming a problem into energy

, , ,
The linear life cycle of plastics, too rarely recycled, exerts a heightened pressure on the environment. The process of gasification makes it possible to reduce this impact by transforming more waste – currently incinerated or left in landfill…
Déchets verre, waste

An oasis of waste reconverted into ceramic materials

,
Transforming industrial waste and unused by-products could make it possible to respond to issues of scarcity for civil engineering resources, recyclability and even reducing use of fossil fuels. Doan Pham Minh, process engineering researcher…

Carbon-free hydrogen: how to go from gray to green?

, ,
The industrial roll-out of hydrogen production only makes sense if it emits little or no carbon dioxide. Researchers at IMT schools are working on various alternatives to the use of fossil fuels, such as electrolysis and photocatalysis of water,…
