As manufacturers face growing demands for productivity, sustainability, and supply chain resilience, leveraging real-time operational data has become essential. In this interactive workshop, CESMII – The Smart Manufacturing Institute explores how organizations can move beyond isolated technology pilots to develop a strategic, enterprise-wide Smart Manufacturing roadmap that aligns people, processes, and technology for lasting success.

DataOps Day Cleveland is a one-day event exploring the data foundations, architectures, and strategies required to scale Industrial AI

AI is moving from pilot projects to the factory floor, making reliable infrastructure and standards increasingly critical. The second AI in Manufacturing Systems Workshop brings industry together to examine the consensus standards needed for AI to scale safely, interoperably, and with trust—from data quality and system integration to performance, cybersecurity, human-AI collaboration, and governance. Building on the inaugural workshop and the formation of ASTM Committee F50, this edition connects emerging standards priorities with real-world manufacturing practice

The 2026 Digital Transformation Forum for the Steel Industry is a leading platform for steel producers, technology experts and innovators to engage in the ongoing evolution of digitalization across the steel industry.

Discover how interoperability can unlock the next wave of steel industry productivity. By connecting siloed systems through standardized data, open interfaces and vendor-neutral architectures, steelmakers can improve yield, throughput, quality and energy performance—while creating the foundation needed to scale AI across operations

Our events bring together industry experts and peers to share practical insights, proven strategies, and real-world experiences that help organizations accelerate digital transformation, drive innovation, and deliver measurable business value

Digital Lean combines timeless lean manufacturing principles with Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 technologies to drive greater efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize variability. By delivering precise, timely operational insights, digital technologies enhance traditional lean methodologies and enable more effective continuous improvement across manufacturing processes
