INSTITUTIONAL CHAIR IN DEVELOPMENT OF NEW COMMUNICATION AND AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR SMART MINES
14/04/2021

Directed by the professor of the School of Engineering Mourad Nedil, this chair aims to strengthen studies in underground wireless connectivity and automation in Quebec, thus making it possible to guide mining industrialists towards the implementation of optimal solutions, new safety and profitability standards to move into the smart mining era.

NEW KNOWLEDGE FOR THE MINING AND FORESTRY INDUSTRY.
06/05/2019

Innovative solutions for wireless communications in underground mines developed by Professor Mourad Nedil The research of Professor Mourad Nedil, from the School of Engineering, aims to develop innovative solutions for wireless communications in underground mines through the design and implementation of new advanced technologies of wireless communication body networks. (WBAN). The technology could be used in the future in smart mining which uses state-of-the-art 5G technology to connect and communicate between systems involved in mining to ensure efficient and reliable operation. For his research project Wireless Body Area Networks for future mining applications, Professor Nedil was granted $28,000 per year for a period of 5 years, for a total of $140,000.

$411,600 FROM FRQNT FOR 4 UQAT PROFESSORS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE MINING AND FORESTRY INDUSTRY
12/10/2018

Mourad Nedil, professor at the School of Engineering, was awarded $162,000 for his project Design and realization of new classes of flexible body antennas for wireless applications in underground mines, the objective of which is to optimize technologies wireless in underground mines. The study aims to provide mining companies with a technology that faces the challenges of underground mines (flooding, heat, risk of landslides, etc.) thereby increasing productivity, reducing operational costs and ensuring a safe environment. safe for staff. This research will be done in collaboration with Professor Fouad Erchiqui from UQAT and Professor Larbi Talbi from the University of Quebec in Outaouais.
