Enabling Queensland agencies to successfully address contemporary infrastructure challenges

QCIF has developed a targeted Industry Outreach Program to engage business and State Agencies, to demonstrate the benefits of adopting advanced computing techniques.

Vacuum drying of Australian hardwoods

Helping to reduce drying times by up to 60%, reduce energy costs up to 50%, and reduce airborne Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) greenhouse gas emissions to zero

Sensing water

Sensor network in far North Queensland will monitor major water store for more effective resource management

'Next gen' MRIs

Leading the world in the development of specialised Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) magnets: Better images of human extremities like arms, wrists, ankles and knees.

Better motorways

Incorporating sophisticated intelligent transport systems to reduce the impact of congestion on the motorway network in greater Brisbane 

Cleaner carparks

Modelling the various movements of air and vehicles in underground car parks to give a more accurate positions for the carbon monoxide sensors

'Next gen' visualisation and collaboration

Enabling real-time, interactive collaboration across the globe - with a resolution nearlly 50 times faster than HD TV, the OptIPortal is shrinking our world

Town planning in 3D

Enabling building and construction developers to rapidly develop and visualise their plans in virtual environments

Forging the future of mobile

QCIF is helping to develop new technologies to process data 10-20 times faster than existing 3G communications networks

Storm tracking and identification

Helping the Bureau of Meteorology identify and track thunderstorms: Better warning systems to help avoid community and economic damage.

Visualising Groundwater

Using advanced visualisation and animation techniques to create 3D models of the groundwater systems of sand islands to determine rainfall-infiltration-recharge relationships. These will provide a major support to managing the long term, sustainable use of the state's precious water resources

Improving outcomes for Qld patients

Helping to speed up the delivery of radiation therapy to cancer patients.

eDemocracy

empowerment through the use of technology in the democratic process

Mining justice data

Helping criminal justice organisations build policies and target allocation of resources to appropriate intervention programs with the hope of preventing crime

The fluid flow complex

Examining the behaviour of air and water: Helping engineers to build safer, more efficient structures

Past Industry projects
 

ReefGrid

Using sensors to measure water temperature, solar radiation, salinity, pollution levels, etc in order to understand complex marine biological processes and predict future coral bleaching events

Pollutant control for diesel engines

Investigating clean diesel engine technology: Cleaner air quality to keep the skys blue

Strike fighter testing

investigating new development of tools to aid in the non-destructive testing of aerospace parts

Boat design

Analysing and optimising the design and manufacturing process of a 13-metre fibre reinforced plastic houseboat: Controlled Vacuum Infusion

Coal field strip dozing

Applying high performance computational techniques to simulate the dozing of blocky-shale material at the full industrial scale of working mines.

Coal flow modelling

Improving facilities to increase coal throughput;  reducing inefficiencies associated with one of the critical elements of the handling system, the transfer chute.

MRI magnets

Based on the stress analysis results, magnetic, structural and winding optimisations of magnets have been undertaken to improve MRI product designs in both cost effectiveness and performance.
