SUMMARY:U.S. Smart Manufacturing Interoperability Summit in Detroit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this important forum to determine how we move beyond the historic data fundamentals and architectures of the past 30 years – to a future marked by enormous innovation and productivity growth. This will be a practical deep dive on the future of OT/IT interoperability for Smart Manufacturing Operations and Supply Chains. \nThis Summit is a collaborative\, international initiative to shine the spotlight on the necessary building blocks\, competencies\, and capabilities related to modernizing our approach to OT/IT data engineering. We will explore the value\, the challenges/risks\, and the best practices on the journey to interoperability. We will showcase the capabilities\, explore the relevant standards\, and unveil how open APIs can unlock the full potential of industrial data and AI at scale! \nJoin us in Detroit\, Cleveland or Chicago as we bring industry leaders together to understand just how important interoperability is on our journey to productivity and competitiveness! \nAgenda Highlights Include: \n\nA Manufacturer’s Perspective – the Strategic Importance and Value of Interoperability\nCESMII’s Smart Manufacturing Imperatives\nThe Role of OPC UA in Enabling Interoperability\nEquipment Data Standards and International Alignment with VDMA\nComplimentary Lunch\nExpert Panel on Interoperability – Audience Q&A\nNew topics/trends (OPC Cloud\, Digital Product Passport\, API\, Supply Chain\, etc.)\nA Demonstration of What Interoperability Looks Like\nCall to Action\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Scaling Smart Manufacturing: The Interoperability Forum
DESCRIPTION:Manufacturers have a competitiveness problem…which is also a data problem.\nThey’ve invested billions in automation\, digitalization\, data platforms\, and AI. Yet many continue to struggle with the same challenges: \n❌ Data trapped in disconnected systems\n❌ Costly\, custom integrations\n❌ AI initiatives that fail to scale beyond pilots\n❌ Vendor lock-in that limits flexibility and innovation\n❌ Inconsistent information across plants\, systems\, and supply chains \nOn August 4\, CESMII and the Manufacturing Leadership Council are hosting 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 \nThis is a FREE virtual event bringing together manufacturing leaders\, architects\, engineers\, and technology providers to demonstrate what scalable Smart Manufacturing actually looks like in practice. \nYou’ll hear directly from leaders at GE Appliances\, a Haier company\, General Mills\, Toyota North America and more. You’ll see live demonstrations from dozens of technology providers. And you’ll walk away with a practical framework for building architectures that actually scale.
