The 15th Anniversary of Smart Manufacturing
On the 15th anniversary of Smart Manufacturing, co-founder Jim Davis celebrates the people, partnerships, and events that led to Smart Manufacturing as a national priority. The paper takes us from Smart Manufacturing’s beginnings, to how CESMII (the Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute sponsored by DOE) came into being, and to CESMII as a key public-private partnership for catalyzing Smart Manufacturing’s broad impact on global competitiveness and environmental sustainability throughout U.S. manufacturing.

Smart Manufacturing for All
Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. In episode 17 of the podcast (@AugmentedPod), the topic is: Smart Manufacturing for All. Our guest is John Dyck, CEO at CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute.
In this conversation, we talked about democratizing smart manufacturing, the history and ambition of CESMII (2016-), bridging the skills gap in small and medium enterprises which constitute 98% of manufacturing. We discuss how the integration of advanced sensors, data, platforms and controls to radically impact manufacturing performance. We then have the hard discussion of why the US is (arguably) a laggard? John shares the 7 characteristics of future-proofing (interoperability, openness, sustainability, security, etc.). We hear about two coming initiatives: Smart Manufacturing Executive Council & Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform. We then turn to the future outlook over the next decade.
