Systems Integration Division
The Systems Integration Division (SID) promotes U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness in areas of critical national priority by anticipating and meeting the measurement science and standards needs for integrating engineering information systems used in manufacturing, construction, and cyber-physical systems in ways that enhance economic prosperity and improve the quality of life.
The Systems Integration Division carries out mission functions in manufacturing enterprise integration; green manufacturing and construction; engineering and manufacturing products, processes, equipment, technical data, and standards; collaborative manufacturing research pilot grants; and manufacturing fellowships. Carries out other measurement science research and services to support mission functions as may be necessary, including systems integration and engineering, life cycle assessment, cyber-physical systems, productivity measurement, sustainability and energy efficiency.

- ASTM Sustainable Manufacturing Standards - Together with ASTM we have developed a method for characterizing manufacturing processes for sustainability. The characterization methodology is used to develop information models of unit manufacturing processes thus helping businesses transition into scientific modeling for decision-making and production planning [1]. A standard based on this methodology furthers measurement science to quantify manufacturing practices to benefit industrial competitiveness.
