Smart Manufacturing Mindset™:
Think Differently About AI in Manufacturing
|
|
|
This month the CESMII & SME LinkedIn Live series, Smart Manufacturing Mindset™,
we focused on AI in Manufacturing. Join us as we explore a new way of thinking about AI, looking to harness its full potential and unlock unprecedented opportunities for manufacturers. We’ll explore how to optimize production processes, enhance quality, streamline supply chains, and drive overall operational excellence. Furthermore, we’ll examine the possibilities of human-AI collaboration, emphasizing AI as a collaborative partner to leverage its capabilities to augment human decision-making, enhance productivity, and foster innovation.
Whether you are a seasoned manufacturing professional or an AI enthusiast, this event offers an opportunity to gain valuable insights into the future of manufacturing. Discover how the convergence of AI and manufacturing can enable companies to stay competitive, adapt to evolving market demands, and achieve sustainable growth.
Don’t miss out on this thought-provoking webinar that challenges conventional thinking and opens new avenues for AI in manufacturing. Join us and be at the forefront of this paradigm shift!

The OPC Days virtual event last month included two sessions that highlight key points for the evolution of Smart Manufacturing Profiles:
Information Modeling and Data Source Mapping
These sessions addressed the standard’s CESMII has chosen for SM Profiles, leveraging Information Modeling for Part 1 of the SM Profile specification, and in a Joint Working Group with the W3C and the OPC Foundation, defining a Part 2 companion specification for Data Mapping based on the W3C “Web of Things” Standard.

Walkthrough of Cutting-Edge Jobs in Advanced Manufacturing
Wednesday, July 26, 2023
2:15pm-3:00pm
Speakers:
Natasha Spackey, AFFOA
Conrad Leiva, CESMII
Keith Joseph, RAPID
John Balchunas, NIIMBL
Did you know that there are manufacturing careers in high-end fashion, sustainable agriculture, and artificial intelligence? Did you know there will be manufacturing careers in 5-10 years that don’t yet exist today? There are clear connections between many nontechnical interests and STEAM opportunities that can help encourage students to expand their horizons and consider advanced manufacturing careers. Manufacturing USA can help educators understand how to make the connections between students’ interests and those careers, and how students can access opportunities in and pathways to advanced manufacturing careers.

Digital Transformation for Accessible, Sustainable and Scalable Smart Manufacturing Education
Thursday, July 27, 2023
10:30am-11:15am
Speakers:
Sam Samanta, FLCC
Daniel Poehlein, FLCC
Paul Perkins, Amatrol
Kent Powell, Amatrol
Conrad Leiva, CESMII
Collaborations with regional high-tech ecosystems are critical for addressing current and emerging needs of a technical workforce needed for the digital transformation of industry. We discuss educational resources provided through CESMII.org (The Smart Manufacturing Institute) including hands-on learning activities and micro-credentials for Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing co-developed with Amatrol and SACA. We present case studies of required student co-ops at high-tech businesses leading to full-time jobs and a 75% completion rate in two years.

Digital Transformation for Accessible, Sustainable and Scalable Smart Manufacturing Education

Conrad Leiva recently participated in a workshop on Controlled Environment Agriculture, and I believe we can learn from an exchange of lessons learned between Smart Farm and Smart Factory initiatives. Both initiatives have been making good technology implementation advances with industry leaders and large companies. However, on both initiatives, we need to do better with small-medium size companies which make up 90% of the businesses in both agriculture and manufacturing.

At the Smart Manufacturing business session, hosted at the BEMA Convention, John Dyck, CEO of CESMII, shared CESMII’s mission is to enhance U.S. manufacturing productivity. Through a collaborative ecosystem of partners, an interoperable technology standard and continuous improvement in workforce development and education barriers can be broken down.
Special thanks to Audrey St. Onge, President & CEO N.A. Baking Business at Lallemand, for inviting John and CESMII to this event. Audrey sits on the CESMII | SME
Smart Manufacturing Executive Council.

Tyson Foods Saves $60k Annually by Visualizing Smart Manufacturing Data
|
|
|
|
|
Improve operational efficiencies and reduce waste by implementing sensors and software to monitor material and machines throughout the manufacturing process. The algorithms will be implemented via the CESMII Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform (SMIP). Access to real-time production data will enable process control decisions in the context of material flows and manufacturing operations.
|
|
|
$60k/yr
Potential to save $60,000 per year on energy costs at Tyson’s Texarkana plant by implementing SM tools.
|
|
|
$1B/yr
Potential to generate an additional billion dollars in revenue annually if SM tools are implemented across Tyson’s global food processing operations.
|
|
|
⬆1%
Smart manufacturing controls netted a 1% yield increase at the Tyson Texarkana plant.

Energy Systems Network manages Indiana State’s Energy Insights Program, a $5 MM program that engages with small-medium manufacturers to pilot the Energy Insights “starter kit”. The “starter kit” includes smart manufacturing hardware and software package that focuses on Energy data, but ultimately can be customized to meet the customers’ needs. The Energy Insights program also involves 1) an engagement with a system integrator to build out the starter kit and develop key use cases and 2) a training program to give the smart manufacturing champion the education he or she needs to chart a course through the smart manufacturing landscape.
