CESMII’s 2020 Annual Meeting is a must-attend event, if you’re involved in the business of Smart Manufacturing.
It’s essential we cultivate a more collaborative and open approach to Smart Manufacturing that both OT and IT can rally around. This approach will help us propel your ideas, your innovation, your research from a one-off or a vendor-specific solution to a solution that can simply and cost-effectively scale. And – together – we are uniquely positioned to empower it.
Our CESMII ecosystem is driving openness AND interoperability AND collaboration in ways no individual organization can do on its own. That’s why we need as many people as possible at our event to contribute to our ecosystem and why I know you’ll find value in attending.
Registration and full session, training and workshop details are posted on our
website

RFP2 – Wave 1 Awards
- RFP-2, Wave- 1 projects are focused on Enabling R&D technologies. Selection committees have completed extensive evaluations and submitted their recommendations to Department of Energy (DOE) for final approval.
RFP2 – Wave 2 White Paper Evaluations & Notifications

RFP2 – Wave 3 Notice of Intent (NOI)
- RFP2 – Wave 3 will focus on Innovation projects that bring rapid value to manufacturers and Platform capability projects to advance platform technologies for Smart Manufacturing. A Notice of Intent will lay out all areas-of-interest, timelines and project requirements.
Project plans and updates will feature prominently at our 2020 Annual Meeting. Plan to attend to learn more and talk directly with the project teams.
