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.
International Manufacturing-X Council Amplifies Global Initiatives
The International Manufacturing-X Council (IM-X Council) has launched its new website, marking a significant milestone in the global push toward Smart Manufacturing. As a collaborative network of industry, government, and academia, the IM-X Council aims to build a decentralized data ecosystem that enhances data sovereignty, transparency, and resilience across supply chains worldwide. Today, CESMII – The Smart Manufacturing Institute – is co-hosting the IM-X Council Meeting, held alongside its own Member Meeting at Oak Ridge National Labs. Key members, including CESMII, Alliance Industrie du Futur, Confindustria, KOSMO, and other leading organizations, are aligned on a vision to “Make Data Work” for the manufacturing sector. The IM-X Council’s international reach continues to grow, with focus areas on education, interoperability, and technology standards for sectors like energy and logistics.

Quickbase Joins CESMII to Drive Innovation in Smart Manufacturing
Quickbase has partnered with CESMII – The Smart Manufacturing Institute, reinforcing its commitment to advancing smart manufacturing. Quickbase’s AI-powered platform enables manufacturers to quickly build custom apps for operational tasks like production control, asset management, and quality assurance, all in one place. This partnership aligns with CESMII’s mission to transform U.S. manufacturing by enhancing productivity and innovation through smart technology solutions.
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.
