12. Goals for 2013-14: UPDATES The Digital Lab Guiding Approach Three Technology Focus Areas ADVANCED MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE (AME) INTELLIGENT MACHINING (IM) ADVANCED ANALYSIS (AA) • Agile and robust manufacturing strategies and integrated capabilities that dramatically reduce the cost and time of producing complex systems and parts. • Utilization of high-performance computing to model materials, products and processes to enable “design with manufacturing in mind”. • Integration of smart sensors and controls to enable equipment to automatically sense and understand current production environment in order to conduct “self-aware manufacturing”. OPEN SOURCE PLATFORM HUB & SPOKE MODEL An open source technology system across the entire manufacturing value chain. A 'hub and spoke' model, where the 'hub' will be the Digital Lab for Manufacturing based in Chicago, and the 'spokes' will be all the applied research on the manufacturing floors of our partners across the US. DIGITAL COMMONS NATIONAL NETWORK
