Jon Riley's Keynote
Here' a preview of what Jon Riley, a dynamic, highly knowledgable speaker, will have to say:
Manufacturing Tomorrow
With unemployment still trending north of 8 percent, it is clear that our nation must do everything it can to address those barriers to job growth, such as tax policies and regulations, and develop affordable access to competitive enabling technologies for our number one source of jobs – manufacturers. Digital manufacturing is at the top of everyone’s list of enabling technologies.
For the past three years NCMS has been diligently working to lay the foundation for a secure and widely accessible environment for academic, public and private laboratories, consortia, manufacturers and suppliers to collaborate, share and enhance operations. The cornerstone for this environment will be a series of regional Predictive Innovation Centers (PIC) that will reach out to manufacturers in a plug and play format. The long-term impact of this effort will halve the cost of deploying digital manufacturing technologies in our nation’s manufacturers, broaden the base of innovation, and promote the application of these technologies across small, medium and large enterprises.
The applications for our manufactures are as broad as the horizon and as deep as our imagination. They include such tools as CAD, CAM, CAE, PLM, ERP and many others. They focus on energy, automotive, aerospace, defense, consumer products, electronics, health and any other sector you can name. Finally they apply to all aspects of the organization. These are technologies that are not limited to supporting the long historical applications within product develop and validation, but are expanding both out on the manufacturing floor and to the business offices. Leveraging data in real-time will revolutionize the assembly lines of yesterday into the smart facilities of tomorrow.
We are moving forward to make manufacturing tomorrow today!
The ability to control fluid streams at microscale is of great importance in many domains such as biological processing, guiding chemical reactions, and creating structured materials. Recently, it has been discovered that placing pillars of different dimensions, and at different offsets, allows fluid transformations to “sculpt” fluid streams.

So far, the story surrounding the industrial Internet has been centered around GE, and their plans to infuse their factories with thousands of sensors that will bring big data to manufacturing. But after record-breaking floods from Hurricane Sandy took their toll on New York and New Jersey, environmental and civil engineers have found a new application for the Internet-connected sensor system.

While advanced carbon-fiber composites have been used in the recent years, researchers are searching for materials that are even stronger and lighter. Composites made with carbon fibers coated with carbon nanotubes are being considered because they can be hundreds of times stronger than steel and only one-sixth the weight.

NASA has awarded a $125,000 grant for a project intended to 3D print food for astronauts in space. The printer will mix together basic nutrients such as oil and protein powder to create the food. It will also allow the user to input their sex, age, and weight so that it can make the food based on the individual's own nutritional needs.

This week, Airbus towed its newest airliner, the A350 XWB, out of its hangar and is poised to roll it into the spotlight of the upcoming Paris Air Show. The A350 XWB has been designed with the goal of surpassing the 787 in fuel efficiency and comfort, and has forgone metal for composite materials to make it happen.

03/20/2013 | SAS | This white paper examines how an enterprise-wide quality platform can turn existing data into substantial and sustainable revenue growth and cost savings for global manufacturers. The paper is based on the findings of the IW/SAS Enterprise Quality Survey completed by more than 400 manufacturing executives. The objectives of the survey were to determine concerns about quality among manufacturers; investigate the tools used to measure quality; and examine how using enterprise-wide analysis on quality data improves performance.
07/19/2011 | Univa | TATA Steel Automotive Engineering’s concern grew when open source Grid Engine support and development was discontinued by Oracle. Grid Engine is a business critical application in their environment. They recognized the likelihood that product enhancements and innovations would cease. Read how TATA Steel Automotive Engineering moved from a self-support solution to Univa Grid Engine. You can get more out of your environment and your budget with Univa Grid Engine.
