Building an Autonomous System for Low-Speed Delivery Vehicles

The project aims to develop an autonomous solution for low-speed vehicles (LSVs) used in last-mile delivery, focusing on cost-effectiveness and enhanced functionality. The primary goal is to integrate advanced safety systems and remote operation capabilities into these vehicles. By addressing key safety and operational challenges, the project seeks to improve the efficiency of LSVs in urban and suburban environments. Learners will apply their knowledge of autonomous systems, sensor integration, and remote control technologies to create a scalable solution. The project encourages innovation in vehicle automation, ensuring that the developed system is both practical and adaptable to various delivery scenarios.

Integrated Sales & Retail Opportunity Dashboard for Stush Foods

Project Details Stush Foods is a growing food company seeking to enhance its sales strategy and drive market expansion. This project aims to empower Stush Foods with a comprehensive, data-driven tool by combining two critical business functions: sales performance analysis and retail opportunity identification. A team of two learners, with a total of 120 hours, will be tasked with the following: Sales Performance Consolidation & Analysis: The team will begin by consolidating monthly sales reports from our three different distributors, each with a unique format, into a single, standardized dataset. From this unified data, they will build a dynamic dashboard that allows for the analysis of key metrics, including sales trends by region, city, store, and the impact of specific promotions. This will help Stush Patties understand what’s working and where to optimize. Retail Opportunity Identification: The team will also create a separate but integrated dashboard focused on future growth. This tool will combine existing retail locations with publicly available demographic data (e.g., from sources like Statistics Canada) to visualize our current distribution and identify underserved or high-potential neighborhoods. By developing a scoring system, the dashboard will flag promising locations for future retail placement, enabling strategic decision-making for expansion. This project will provide learners with an opportunity to apply their skills in data cleaning, integration, analysis, and visualization in a real-world business scenario. The final product will be a user-friendly, impactful tool that allows Stush Patties to make data-driven decisions efficiently and confidently.
