Faculty Advisor: Dr. Gerardo Trevino-Garza 

We will be assisting in the design phase of the new paint shop at the Toyota plant in San Antonio, Texas. This new paint shop will process the all of the axles, battery cases, and service parts for the Toyota trucks like the Sequoia, Tacoma, and Tundra.

Students will develop a comprehensive training program to help a company independently use and optimize conversational AI technologies. The project focuses on creating a scalable curriculum covering technical setup, operational integration, and ethical management of AI tools in industrial settings. It aims to provide value to companies expanding their AI use while also developing a reusable curriculum for academic purposes. The project will involve both learning about key AI tools and applying that knowledge to real-world use cases at Crean, Inc. and its subsidiary, VIA Smart Factory. Students are strongly encouraged to leverage AI tools throughout the project to enhance learning and maximize productivity within the available timeframe.
