CESMII Joins a Strategic Group of Manufacturing Nations to Form the International Manufacturing-X Council
|
|
CESMII – The U.S.’ Smart Manufacturing Institute is excited to participate in the establishment of the International Management-X Council, with its official announcement at the 2023 Annual CESMII Member Meeting hosted at SOUTHTEC’s Smart Manufacturing Experience this week in Greenville, S.C.
We join Germany (Plattform Industrie 4.0), Austria (Plattform Industrie 4.0 Österreich), France (Alliance Industrie du Futur), Australia, Canada (Offensive de Transformation Numérique), South Korea (KOSMO), Japan (RRI), Italy (Confindustria) and the Netherlands (Smart Industry) in launching this important initiative to implement a federated, decentralized and collaborative data ecosystem for smart manufacturing. We anticipate more joining us soon!
The collective vision for the International Manufacturing-X (IM-X) Council is to enable open, global and cross-industry operation of cost-effective data networks.
This will be realized through three sets of strategic initiatives:
- Connect value chains and manufacturing data networks across supply chains, industries, and countries
- Implement global foundations for data-driven resilient, sovereign and climate-neutral production covering the full life cycle of production and products
- Enable innovative value creation in an interoperable and sovereign data ecosystem

Smart Manufacturing Mindset™:
Truths and Myths on IT/OT Convergence
|
|
|
This month the CESMII & SME LinkedIn Live series, Smart Manufacturing Mindset™,
was recorded during our CESMII Annual Member Meeting at Smart Manufacturing Experience at SOUTHTEC hosted in Greenville, SC from October 24-26.
One of the most powerful promises of Industry 4.0 is that the technology itself is no longer a barrier to the IT and OT worlds co-existing efficiently. There is a major barrier, though – the people who live in those worlds are often paralyzed by fear of the unknown and layers of historical confusion. Tune in to hear several truths and debunk various myths about convergence – one of the most regularly discussed topics our members raise to us.
