is now open. The sponsored research program, created to drive and advance
the next generation of material handling industry technology, will be
accepting proposals via its website, www.UniversityResearchProgram.com
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00149WhDUB8C6ICVNl-IsYblzBenLG6RkFPQLCfDNemhhcX2p3XRLqZWXe5RByf2N_xQTHE4dnFxaF6PvyxKLTyxmMGJsj0cu0iV6_edeez_trqz9vPAiBsYJ_HGB-hXxDV5gquxzG4Xc0mm1X_urkb8SQZyqGuH0OL0pdJ0fmV_7I=&c=tzu2wc03x1PpEmlbogSS2I3hPNV5GDU_P3FpbcPyfazZZ-5jYYxMIg==&ch=BMLqgIZXV4QYYgFvb2eY_wIn7iN_W-FuRReilt2j92R0LHH5UdTKSQ==>,
through Dec. 1, 2019.



The TMHNA University Research Program was created to encourage and support
professors and student researchers to apply their engineering and technical
research to discover innovative solutions for the material handling
industry. Applicants from North American universities will be evaluated on
several criteria, including their possible impact on the future of the
manufacturing industry, timeline and feasibility of budget. Applicants with
selected proposals will be announced at MODEX 2020, March 9-12, 2020, in
Atlanta.



“This program reflects our mission to provide customers – and the material
handling industry as a whole – with creative solutions and new
innovations,” said Brett Wood, President and CEO, Toyota Material Handling
North America. “We believe university engineering programs are already
working on smart solutions that can be applied to the material handling
industry. Send us your proposals, and let’s build the future of this
industry together.”



Winning proposals for the 2018-2019 program included projects surrounding
virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), energy infrastructure,
Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0. Proposal themes for the
2019-2020 research submissions in the following areas are encouraged;
however, given the broad nature of material handling, alternative themes
are welcome.



·     Material handling for last-mile delivery, urban environments,
piece-picking, reverse logistics and automation

·     Remote operation of material handling equipment

·     Warehousing energy infrastructure

·     VR/AR for material handling applications

·     Machine learning in material handling

·     Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) for material handling
equipment

·     Industry 4.0
