Six-Stage Path from Research to Deployment

1. Problem and Stakeholders

Clarify management needs, technical limits, regulations, costs, and risks.

2. Data Governance

Design sensing, labeling, cleaning, augmentation, splitting, and quality assurance.

3. Method Development

Create original algorithms, AI models, decision frameworks, and explainability.

4. Validation and Comparison

Use benchmarks, cross-validation, field cases, and statistical tests.

5. Systemization and Deployment

Deliver GUIs, dashboards, warnings, schedules, maintenance, and decision support.

6. Feedback and Diffusion

Use field feedback to refine models and generate publications, technical knowledge, talent, and institutional learning.

Collaboration Models

  • Joint research: partners provide real problems, data, and sites; PiM Lab supports research design, modeling, validation, and scholarly publication.
  • Technical consulting: AI adoption, data strategy, model selection, risk analysis, and decision architecture.
  • Living labs: long-term sensing, forecasting, control, and maintenance validation in campuses and public facilities.
  • Talent development: transformation of industrial problems into theses, capstone projects, internships, and joint training.
