Smart Manufacturing Mindset™
Smart Manufacturing Mindset™, presented by CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute & SME, is a monthly webinar where we challenge guests to think differently about manufacturing. We'll explore the nuances that hide in plain sight – behind the acronyms, techno-jargon and misinformation – to get to the truths that hold real value for real people in the industry.
In partnership with the Department of Energy, CESMII was established as a primary advocate and resource for Smart Manufacturing, including networking, education and workforce development, funded research projects and a Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform to enable your digital transformation.

Smart Manufacturing Mindset™: i3X™ Explained
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Finally! A Path to Manufacturing Interoperability and OT/IT Convergence
What if manufacturing applications could finally speak the same language?
The i3X™ initiative is tackling one of the biggest challenges in smart manufacturing today: the explosion of incompatible APIs across platforms, historians, and industrial software. And clearly, this is a conversation the industry has been waiting for.
In the next Smart Manufacturing Mindset™ LinkedIn Live, we’re sitting down with three core members of the i3X™ working group to talk about:
- What is i3X™
- What problems does i3X address?
- How will i3X transform manufacturing architectures?
Whether your roots are in OT or IT, if you’re a manufacturer, systems integrator, application developer, or technology provider trying to make sense of industrial data architecture, this one is for you!
