Institute #2 – Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute
Abstract
This national institute focus is on the implementation of the Digital Thread, the unencumbered flow of data across the lifecycle of a manufactured product encompassing data from design, production, supply, sourcing, inventory, assembly, quality, maintenance and sustainment. It includes the analysis of this data to reduce the time and cost of bringing new products to market, the elimination of barriers between design, manufacturing and sustainment by using both product data and process data in a way that is seamless and transparent. Technology thrust areas: advanced manufacturing enterprise; intelligent machines; advanced analysis; open source platform; and cyber manufacturing system security. This MII was established in February 2014, with cooperative agreement funding contribution included in this budget through FY 2018.
