One thing plants typically have in abundance are sources of operational data. It is tempting to think that by collecting and storing that data, information of value will be generated magically. This does not happen. Extracting actionable insight requires engaging operational experts to make sense of the data.

The ecosystem engagement and collaboration with industry leaders, like GE Digital, is the engine at CESMII that accelerates the democratization of Smart Manufacturing. The ecosystem works on Smart Manufacturing technology, innovation, education, and demonstrations in collaboration with CESMII’s regional SM Innovation Centers.
