Details

Windsor-Essex builds things: cars, machine tooling, EV components, and greenhouse agri-tech. Factory floors, staging docks, and commercial facilities often have spotty Wi-Fi, strict data-privacy rules, or zero tolerance for cloud delays. Build offline, on-device tools using smart cameras, sensor data, and local AI (such as Google Gemma) to help workers assemble parts, troubleshoot machinery, plan logistics, and work safely.

DataRealm has been working on bringing humanoid robotics into Canadian industries.

Join us as GDG Windsor partners with DataRealm to launch this Build with AI hackathon for a chance to win cash prizes.
