Predictive Innovation Centers to provide Secure, Scalable, Affordable and Accessible Smart Manufacturing Tools to U.S. Manufacturers

ANN ARBOR, MI – The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS), the largest cross industry consortium in North America and a leader in next-generation manufacturing strategies, announced today that they are poised to bring next generation design and manufacturing tools to industry of all sizes, revitalizing U.S. manufacturing.

Today, speaking at Carnegie Mellon University, President Obama announced the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP), a national effort devoted to collaboration between industry, academia, and federal government to drive innovative technologies that will create quality manufacturing jobs and enhance global competitiveness.

“The AMP concept outlined by the President today, is forged upon the recognition that by driving collaboration between talent, investment, and infrastructure, we can revitalize manufacturing in North America and get back to making things” said Rick Jarman, NCMS President & CEO, “NCMS has a comprehensive national strategy to bring smart manufacturing tools to industry and their supply chain in an accessible, affordable way.”

The NCMS aligns with AMP’s pursuits that will drive entirely new competitive business models:

Domestic manufacturing capabilities in national security
Reduced time to market for advanced materials
Next-generation robotics
Sustainability across the manufacturing and product lifecycle

NCMS has a long history of successful collaborations between industry, government and academia. Manufacturing knows how to make. Academia knows how to envision. And Government support provides the needed investment and encouragement to keep this meeting of the minds on the right track. NCMS applauds The President for leading this initiative and giving the U.S. the opportunity to once again become the leader in Global Competitiveness by implementing advanced manufacturing tools across the industry, revitalizing the U.S. economy and creating jobs in a 21st Century world. Because the future is not made, it is manufactured.
