Smart Manufacturing Mindset‪™‬ CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute

Twelve semiconductor fab operators are forging a new business model for AI-enabled smart manufacturing based on the sharing and aggregation of data across companies for mutual benefit.

Join us for this months CESMII Smart Manufacturing Mindset™ episode to hear from one of those operator-company leaders and a coordinating group from National Science Foundation (NSF)*, UCLA, and CESMII bringing perspectives on federal plans for advanced manufacturing, Smart Manufacturing, and CESMII’s data and modeling support capabilities.

Speakers include:
🎙️ Sthitie Bom, Vice President, Seagate Technology
🎙️ Jim Davis, UCLA Vice Provost Emeritus, CESMII Program Oversight & Principal Investigator
🎙️ Bruce Kramer, Senior Advisor, National Science Foundation (NSF)
🎙️ Haresh Malkani, Chief Technology Officer, CESMII
🎙️ Mike Yost, Host

In this digital transformation era, the manufacturing landscape is rapidly evolving, offering unprecedented opportunities for growth and innovation. However, many manufacturers are grappling with the challenge of where to begin their journey toward Smart Manufacturing, how to prioritize investments, and how to build a solid foundation for success.

Fortunately, CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute, has teamed up with the team at Rensselaer at Work & NxGen Group to develop the SM Roadmap Professional Certification Course – a course that teaches CESMII’s strategic approach to developing SM Roadmaps with the necessary tools to guide manufacturers through their transformation journey.

Hear from:
🎙️ Mike Yost, Host
👨‍🏫 Jim Wetzel, Co-Founder of NxGen Group
🎓 Jeff Winter, Senior Director of Industry Strategy at Hitachi Solutions America
🎓 Mike Ungar, Business Executive & Coach, FocalPoint

This week, CESMII hosted our first (Virtual & FREE) Smart Manufacturing Architecture & Technologies Workshop – a deep dive into the fundamentals of interoperability, modern OT/IT-friendly platform architectures, open specifications, and interfaces enabled by information models, data standards/standardization, the importance of a graph database, the global standards landscape for Smart Manufacturing.
 
With an impressive turnout of over 425 registrants and over 300 attendees during the live event, we were truly overwhelmed by the level of interest, enthusiastic engagement, and the wealth of thought-provoking questions that surfaced throughout the 7-hour Workshop. 

As a result of this remarkable response, we have decided to adapt the format of this month's Smart Manufacturing Mindset™ series to further enhance the opportunity for interaction with our presenters.

How do Industry 4.0 digital and physical technologies enhance lean manufacturing?

What are some of the benefits of digital lean - and common pitfalls that practitioners should avoid? How do you even get started on implementing these practices?

Join us on January 30th at 1:00PM EST to explore proven strategies and ways to accelerate your Digital Lean journey.

🌟 CESMII Celebration: Holiday Cheer, and Year-End Reflections Live Event! 🌟

As the year comes to a close, it's time to reflect on the milestones, achievements, and shared learnings that have defined 2023. Join some of the CESMII team who will take you on a journey through the accomplishments and breakthroughs of the past year. From innovative projects to collaborative endeavors, we'll share the highlights that have shaped our collective Smart Manufacturing successes in 2023.

CESMII announced our involvement in the International Manufacturing-X (IM-X) Council a few short weeks ago. Join us for this Smart Manufacturing Mindset podcast to learn more about the IM-X Council, its role in connecting global supply chains, and how CESMII and its ecosystem can help shape a smarter, more interconnected future in manufacturing.

Panelists:
🎙️ John Dyck, CEO at CESMII
🎙️ Matthias Bölke, Vice President Strategy Industrial Automation at Schneider Electric & Steering Committee Member at Plattform Industrie 4.0
🎙️ Mike Tomasco, Vice President Digital Manufacturing, AI, Operational Excellence at Pfizer

Join series host Mike Yost and the rest of the CESMII ecosystem next week to understand the value that leaders from Germany, Austria, France, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, and the U.S. see in the following strategic initiatives:

• Connecting value chains and manufacturing data networks across supply chains, industries, and countries;
• Implementing global foundations for data-driven, resilient, sovereign, and climate-neutral production covering the full product lifecycle; and,
• Enabling innovative value creation in an interoperable and sovereign data ecosystem.

This news is hot off the press. Don’t miss your chance to get in on the ground floor of such an exciting initiative!
