Smart Manufacturing Mindset Episode 24 on why the smartest investment in AI could be a Smart Manufacturing Roadmap Certification with CESMII
July 7th, 2026 – September 1st, 2026
This session should provide a practical walkthrough of how manufacturers assess their current capabilities, prioritize where to invest, and build a roadmap that fits their organization’s pace and goals. The session should maintain CESMII’s roadmapping framework while also showing how MEPs and partners can help manufacturers move from roadmap development to implementation.
Exploring the Business Value, Architecture Foundations, and Demonstrated Capabilities that Enable Scaled Smart Manufacturing and Industrial AI
PRESENTED BY CESMII & THE MANUFACTURING LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
This session should close the core series with a stronger call to action for upskill training of the workforce and preparations for the culture change needed for the Smart Manufacturing transformation. This session can bring together skills development and the balance needed between internal and external resources (like coaches and system integrators) to achieve results in practical steps and promote pertinent training available in the region.
