Actionable Intelligence and Industrial AI

Industrial Artificial Intelligence Management and Metrology (IAIMM)

Ongoing
IAIMM has identified IAI systems for decision making, planning, and control in manufacturing as a prime candidate for better Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) centered on both use and evaluation. The specific use case of multi-stage manufacturing presents a broad scope of application to

Smart Manufacturing Operations Planning and Control Program

Completed
The Smart Manufacturing Operations Planning and Control Program will enhance U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by facilitating the adoption of smart manufacturing systems (fully-integrated, collaborative manufacturing systems that respond in real time to meet changing demands and

Inorganic Phase Equilibrium Data

Ongoing
Every deliberate effort to develop a new material or to improve processing begins with chemical composition and the conditions (temperature, pressure) under which pure compounds and their mixtures are stable ( an equilibrium phase diagram ). In the absence of such information, materials scientists

Inkjet Printing and Precision Deposition

Ongoing
Inkjet Droplet Metrology: Drop-on-Demand (DOD) inkjet printing allows precise deposition of picoliter (pL)-size droplets of solutions containing organic or inorganic materials. These drops can be used to create unique patterns, structures, and coatings and build 3-D microstructures making it a
