Deep Dive CESMII. Ken Forster speaks with John Dyck, CEO of the Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute or CESMII, a public-private partnership committed to transforming the US manufacturing market and increasing global competitiveness through the application of smart manufacturing technologies and workforce development both in manufacturing operations and in the supply chain. John is known globally as a domain expert on technology and business management in the Nexus, which often separates it from operations. For the past ten years, he has been at the vanguard of how innovations like Cloud and the Industrial Internet of Things impact manufacturing, pioneering the application of these technologies, including several patents in a wide range of manufacturing industries and supply chains and companies such as GE and Rockwell. The Society of Manufacturing and Engineering recognized John in 2020 as one of the 30 leaders transforming manufacturing in the USA. John is the immediate-past chairman of MESA International's (Manufacturing Enterprise Solutions Association) Board of Directors. He holds a degree in Electronics Engineering from Conestoga College.
In this conversation, we talked about democratizing smart manufacturing, the history and ambition of CESMII (2016-), bridging the skills gap in small and medium enterprises which constitute 98% of manufacturing. We discuss how the integration of advanced sensors, data, platforms and controls to radically impact manufacturing performance. We then have the hard discussion of why the US is (arguably) a laggard? John shares the 7 characteristics of future-proofing (interoperability, openness, sustainability, security, etc.). We hear about two coming initiatives: Smart Manufacturing Executive Council & Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform. We then turn to the future outlook over the next decade.
John Dyck, CEO of CESMII and Jeff Winter, Industry Executive of Manufacturing at Microsoft sit down to discuss the opportunities manufacturers & the entire ecosystem have to invest in Smart Manufacturing. They cover, the adoption of Smart Manufacturing / Industry 4.0 in the US compared to Europe and Asia, the importance of investing Smart Manufacturing First Principles, the factors impacting “pilot purgatory”, how to get small, medium manufacturers involved and where should they start?
In this TechEd podcast, John Dyck, CEO at CESMII, discusses the importance of the national institute to drive advances in the manufacturing ecosystem through initiatives like the Manufacturing Executive Council and partnerships with leaders like Rockwell on education.
In this TechEd podcast, Conrad Leiva, VP Ecosystem and Workforce Education at CESMII, discusses how the CESMII ecosystem of partners is collaborating to equip educators with more hands-on Smart Manufacturing education resources that reflect the technologies and techniques manufacturers are using today.
