CESMII Previews Smart Manufacturing Platform™
|
|
In late August, we provided an online Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the CESMII Smart Manufacturing Platform for our members and interested parties outside our community. Members of CESMII’s leadership team – Jonathan Wise (VP, Technology), Haresh Malkani (CTO) and Mike Yost (Outreach) – were joined by select technology partners to show the current capabilities of the platform and discuss the importance of the technology in CESMII’s short and long-term plans. Did you see it?
The CTP event is a milestone for CESMII, as the Smart Manufacturing Platform has been a centerpiece of CESMII’s Technology Roadmap since the institute’s inception. The event demonstrated the current capabilities of the platform, the value of the platform to current and upcoming Roadmap and Application Projects, the roadmap for extended capabilities in future releases, and the short and long-term value of the platform to members of the CESMII community.

The areas of interest for this wave of the RFP are focused on addressing key cross-industry technical challenges, and cross-industry energy intensive manufacturing processes. Wave 1 of the RFP also intends to ensure involvement of small, medium and large manufacturers.
The key themes for this RFP include the following:
- Common challenges faced by manufacturers in improving productivity, precision and performance of their manufacturing processes.
- Technical gaps that need to be resolved in sensing, control, modeling, analytics and platform technologies in order to overcome the above challenges, in addition to emerging technologies that will impact information flow between them.
- Smart Manufacturing solutions for common cross-industry energy intensive processes, such as thermal processing.
