Notice of Intent to Issue Smart Manufacturing Request for Proposals

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.
