CESMII

What will it take to increase competitiveness for U.S. manufacturers? Technology? Real-time data? Or perhaps it’s the ecosystem that will bring it all together. At CESMII, we’ve seen first-hand what a community of motivated, driven innovators can do. Bringing together leading organizations – of all sizes, industries, and applications – the CESMII ecosystem is committed to accelerating the democratization of Smart Manufacturing. Next week, at the SOLD-OUT 2024 CESMII Member Meeting in Knoxville, TN, attendees will experience inspiring stories that highlight the real impact of CESMII’s mission. We’re excited to bring our ecosystem together for this gathering of minds, fueling continued transformation in manufacturing. 👀 Here’s a sneak peek of what’s in store! ➡️: https://hubs.li/Q02WzJ0q0 Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT), FullBore, PTA Plastics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, SME, Manufacturing USA, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), UCLA Office of Advanced Research Computing, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, MediaVision Creative, Hoptocopter™ Films

ICYMI: Jonathan Wise Chief Technology Architect at CESMII had the pleasure of being on the AI in Manufacturing Podcast hosted by Kudzai Manditereza & HiveMQ. Jonathan and Kudzai discussed how you can modernize your industrial data architecture to harness the full potential of AI, enhancing both production efficiency and innovation. Jonathan highlighted three key pillars essential for AI readiness: Data Accessibility - You can’t train AI without accessible data. Jonathan explains why ensuring your data flows seamlessly across systems is the first critical step. Data Contextualization - Simply having data isn’t enough. Meaningful, contextualized data is crucial for any AI project to deliver accurate and actionable insights. Data Relationships - It’s not just about isolated data points. AI thrives on the connections between data points, much like how your operations depend on the synergy between suppliers and internal systems. Click the link below to watch the full episode.

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Smart Manufacturing Roadmap Professional from CESMII! A great learning experience that ends with a practical toolset to help manufacturers assess their current state, their "True North," and plan out their next steps. Thanks to Jim Wetzel as my instructor for his thought-provoking questions and excellent material overview, and to the rest of my classmates for the great discussions.

We’re changing it up this month with a session originally recorded at the MX.0 Midwest event in Cleveland, Ohio! In this episode, we’re shining a spotlight on local manufacturers who are stepping up to build their digital capabilities and develop their own Smart Manufacturing roadmaps. Join leaders from two Northeast Ohio manufacturers and the NxGen Group as they share valuable insights from their journeys. They discuss working within the supportive environment provided by Manufacturing Works, leveraging essential guidance from facilitators, and utilizing CESMII’s Acceleration Framework & SM Roadmapping tools. Explore the lessons learned in engaging their organizations, overcoming key barriers, and building successful plans that have garnered widespread support. These stories serve as proof of the nation's commitment to educating the broader manufacturing ecosystem and scaling assistance to manufacturers across the country.
