To maintain global competitiveness, revitalizing the U.S. manufacturing sector is more critical than ever. The Smart Manufacturing Executive Council (SMEC) has been established to spearhead this transformation by championing Smart Manufacturing, which seamlessly integrates digital and physical processes to boost productivity and innovation. Although Industry 4.0 holds immense promise, many manufacturers face challenges in effective implementation. With support from CESMII and SME the SMEC is dedicated to crafting an inclusive strategy that empowers all manufacturers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, to leverage the benefits of Smart Manufacturing. This initiative is vital for driving sustainable economic growth, creating stable jobs, and ensuring the U.S. retains its leadership in the manufacturing sector. 🌍🇺🇸 Discover our vision and strategic approach by downloading the SMEC Point of View document here: https://hubs.li/Q02GgHJc0 📄 #Manufacturing #Industry40 #Innovation #SmartManufacturing #EconomicGrowth #SMEs #USLeadership #SmartManufacturingExecutiveCouncil

We partnered with Owens Corning for a recent Manufacturing Data Architecture Workshop: From Asset to Edge and Edge to Cloud! Since joining CESMII in 2023, Owens Corning has been a dynamic addition to our network, with Brian Perlstein serving on our Smart Manufacturing Executive Council. Our mission at CESMII is to accelerate the adoption of smart manufacturing technologies, enhancing energy efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness across the industry. Owens Corning asked CESMII to facilitate a workshop bringing together experts to discuss the current state and challenges of data architecture, focusing on the flow of data from factory assets to edge devices and from the edge to the cloud. We delved into the integration of diverse systems, including SCADA, Historians, and ERPs, and explored the advantages of information modeling and graph databases for better data management and analytics. The discussions underscored the importance of a clear and efficient data architecture to support Owens Corning's Digital Manufacturing Transformation strategy. By implementing best practices and solutions, Owens Corning is set to enhance its data management capabilities, ensuring scalability, supportability, and improved decision-making. This collaborative workshop provided valuable insights and a roadmap for optimizing data architecture, unlocking the full potential of data for improved operations. If you or your company is interested in conducting a similar workshop at your facilities, please reach out to Steve Winski. #SmartManufacturing #DataArchitecture #DigitalTransformation #CESMII #OwensCorning
