Innovation Project Status
In November we announced a total of $4.0M for the funding of Innovation Projects. Innovation Projects are designed to rapidly develop solutions to solve challenging manufacturing use cases, for processes and equipment, relevant to CESMII’s membership.
We had a total of 28 submissions and are currently working with the DOE on finalizing the selections, and we are expected to make an announcement around the second week of March.
NEW SM Innovation Center RFP Soon To Be Released

SM Innovation Platform Demo
|
See a demo of our Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform and learn how to set up a data model, define the intent ( the type) of variables in your system and create a semantic graph of how your variables relate to each other. These are the keys to allowing applications to intelligently and programmatically discover your variables and automatically configure themselves (with your input), to deliver their value.

After more than 29 years in the chemical industry, Colegrove retired from Dow Chemical in June of 2020. Lloyd spent the majority of his career in Dow’s Manufacturing and Engineering function where he created and led a variety of organizations designed to improve the performance of manufacturing assets within the function. Aspects of this work included the creation of a structured Fundamental Problem Solving capability, and subsequently led to a focus on improving data usage and integration into improved decision making within the operations, where real-time data usage “potential” greatly outweighed “realization”. He is consulting in three areas: 1. Helping companies struggling with getting an analytics program going. 2. Helping small analytics firms to understand how they can become more relevant in chemical manufacture. 3. Fronting for deserving analytics companies as they seek greater attention in a crowded and confusing marketplace. We look forward to his collaboration with CESMII.

Dirty Water Solutions (DWS) takes contaminated water and recycles it so that it can be either released into the environment or reused depending on the application of the customer. One of the largest segments we are currently working with is the waste industry filtering landfill leachate water. We clean it to such a standard it can be discharged. This means we clean it to almost drinking water standards depending on the environmental agency we are dealing with.
DWS is not limited to just leachate water, and we have the ability to clean all types of contamination out of water. www.dirtywatersolutions.com
