Manufacturing Happy Hour Podcast
Smart Manufacturing goes way beyond being just a buzzword. It’s a movement and mindset taking the industry by storm. But what does it really mean, what are the key benefits and how can manufacturing leaders get started today?
We were honored to host Manufacturing Happy Hour host Chris Luecke at the Smart Manufacturing Experience at SOUTHTEC last month where he was onsite asking industry experts these questions. In this special bonus episode, seven manufacturing leaders, and members of the CESMII ecosystem, shared their own definitions of Smart Manufacturing, the secrets behind the successful digital transformations they’ve overseen and the best ways to adopt a Smart Manufacturing mindset.
Guests in this episode include:
Sudhi Bangalore – Founding Partner & CEO, FullBore
Mike Tomasco – VP, Pfizer Digital
Patrick Gaughan – Partner, Axiom Manufacturing Systems
Aldo Ferrante – CIO, SORBA.ai
Michael Clark – Director, OPC Foundation
Erich Barnstedt – Chief Architect, Standards, Consortia & Industrial IoT, Azure Edge & Platform, Microsoft
Katherine Cahalane – Founder & CEO, BennitAI
Stay tuned for part 2 with more inspirational manufacturing leaders next month!

Breaking Down Data Silos:
Why Smart Manufacturing Needs Standardization
|
|
How do we make smart manufacturing part of our DNA in America? What’s preventing small and midsized companies from adopting smart technology? How do we build a workforce capable of undergoing a digital transformation?
These are the questions CESMII is working on, under the leadership of CEO John Dyck, who joins the podcast to talk about the democratization of smart manufacturing.
From the challenges in rapidly training and retaining new employees to the growing significance of data engineering, we discuss the changing manufacturing landscape in the U.S. Is the convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) an absolute necessity for smart manufacturing? How is the technical debt accumulated over the last three decades influencing manufacturers today?
Join us as we delve into the intricacies of data acquisition, efforts to standardize data architectures, the IT/OT convergence, micro-credentialing, and other factors that will instill in our listeners a “smart manufacturing mindset.”

Industry 4.0 Club: Lightbulb Moments in Smart Manufacturing Adoption
|
|
|
Haresh Malkani & Jim Davis represented CESMII in the Manufacturing Panel Discussion at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)‘s AMMTO workshop focused on Conductivity-enhanced materials for Affordable, Breakthrough, Leapfrog Electric and thermal applications (CABLE) this week.
CABLE is a Big Idea initiative that was established by U.S. DOE in 2020 to enable U.S. manufacturers to leapfrog international competition by upgrading the fundamental materials and applications that support grid reliability and other electric and thermal energy systems.
The goal of this workshop was to inform stakeholders about ongoing and newly launched initiatives in the CABLE ecosystem, highlighting conductivity materials efforts led by various DOE agencies.

|
The project objective is to demonstrate an automated metal strip break classification system that is capable of predicting the reason for a ‘strip break’ event.
|
|
|
⬇ 94%
94% reduction in time required to classify and analyze strip breaks.
|
|
|
⬆ $40k
Reduction in time required for a Process Engineer to manually measure,
analyze and classify strip breaks will improve personnel productivity by $40K annually per cold rolling line.
