Agile Manufacturing: Integrated Manufacturing Technology Roadmapping (IMTR) Initiative

DMI-9727891 Neal 这项研究旨在开发一套支持技术路线图，确定满足美国制造业近期和长期目标所需的关键交叉进步和能力。 该项目旨在通过确定未来 15 年的具体研究需求、机会、差距和重叠，以下一代制造研究的路线图工作为基础。 这项工作的目标是提供一个有重点的国家研究议程，该议程将突出整个美国制造业界的个人和协作研发机会。该研究将包括：(1) 技术评估 - 当前最先进的需求和障碍；(2) 要求 - 未来 15 年推进制造技术的目标和目标；(3) 技术路线图 - 所需能力和进步的时间表； (4)当前计划——正在进行的相关联邦和私人发展活动的目录。主题领域将从下一代制造研究中选取，包括： 自适应响应信息系统；普遍的建模和仿真；下一代制造工艺和设备；和企业集成工具。几乎没有齐心协力或集体关注来解决与“下一代制造”相关的技术挑战。其中许多挑战对于单个公司或政府机构来说太困难了，无法解决。显然，有必要制定基础广泛的计划，以解决对国家制造业基础发展至关重要的基础设施工具和能力。美国制造业将通过制定更具凝聚力的研究议程来强调制造基础设施的关键技术需求而受益匪浅。 在当前可用于制造的研发资金不断减少的环境下，这一点尤其重要。该项目的结果将为各机构和行业提供一种机制，在共同感兴趣的领域集中资源。

DMI-9727891 Neal This research is to develop a set of enabling technology roadmaps which identify key cross cutting advances and capabilities required to meet near and long term goals of the U.S. manufacturing community. This project is intended to build on the roadmapping work done for the Next Generation Manufacturing study by identifying specific research needs, opportunities, gaps and overlaps for the next 15 years. The goal of this effort is to provide a focused national research agenda which will highlight opportunities for individual and collaborative R&D throughout the U.S. manufacturing community. The study will include:(1)a technology assessment - current state of the art needs and barriers;(2)requirements - goals and objectives to advance enabling manufacturing technologies over the next 15 years;(3) technology roadmap - timeline of required capabilities and advances; and(4)current programs-directory of related ongoing federal and private development activities. Subject areas will be drawn from the Next Generation Manufacturing study and will include: Adaptive Responsive Information Systems; Pervasive Modeling and Simulation; Next Generation Manufacturing Processes and Equipment; and Enterprise Integration tools. There has been little concerted effort or collective focus to address the technical challenges associated with "Next Generation Manufacturing". Many of these challenges are too difficult for a single company or government agency to address. It is clear that there is a need to develop broad-based plans that address the infrastructure tools and capabilities essential to the evolution of the nations' manufacturing base. The U.S. manufacturing community would greatly benefit by having a more cohesive research agenda highlighting key technology needs in manufacturing infrastructure. This is especially crucial in the current environment where the amount of R&D money available for manufacturing is declining. The results of this project would provide a mechanism for agencies and industry to pool their resources in areas of mutual interest.
