Ecosystem
CESMII is about transformation made possible by collaboration. At our very essence is bringing together individuals, organizations and technologies to create one greater good. With membership, comes additional opportunities for collaboration an access our network of valuable resources.
Notice of Intent to Issue Smart Manufacturing Request for Proposals
In the upcoming RFP, CESMII will pursue a selected number of projects that demonstrate scaling and deployment of SM solutions across companies in individual industries and cross-industry supply chains. Scaling and deploying will demonstrate industry integration, implementation, and reusability of existing SM solutions, practices, and infrastructure. The solutions will focus on scaling innovation, economic and energy optimization benefits in selected clean energy manufacturing and clean energy technology products industries, that include small and medium manufacturers (SMMs). These projects will support the launch of CESMII’s Scale and Deploy plan resulting in a growth trajectory of SM adoptions with CESMII’s resources and capabilities.
The Future of the American Economy Depends on our Ability to Evolve U.S. Manufacturing
Discover how CESMII’s Smart Manufacturing Architecture (SM Architecture) revolutionizes industrial data integration, bridging the gap from edge to application. Through a converged architecture leveraging PLCNext’s control and information capabilities, we showcase automated discovery of profiled equipment instances directly from the PLC. Witness self-configuring applications seamlessly adapting to plant floor changes, ushering in a new era of efficiency and innovation in manufacturing. Join us at Automate in Chicago from May 6-9 to experience the future of industrial data propagation firsthand.
A Standards-Based Battery Passport Proof of Concept – in Partnership with CESMII, Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production FFB, OPC Foundation and VDMA
The OPC Foundation, a global consortium tasked with the development and maintenance of industrial interoperability standards, also develops solutions to fulfill governmental regulations for interoperable systems. This work is carried out in close collaboration with several cooperation partners like CESMII, the VDMA, and the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production FFB. The Battery Passport has been defined by EU regulators and lists more than 100 parameters to be presented and exchanged between systems. Built on the success of the existing Digital Product Passport (DPP) and Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) demonstrator, utilizing OPC UA for data modelling and information exchange, the OPC Foundation has now extended this demonstrator with the Battery Passport.
