Agile Manufacturing: Integrated Manufacturing Technology Roadmapping (IMTR) Initiative

电话：+9727891 这项研究旨在制定一套使能技术路线图，确定满足美国制造业近期和长期目标所需的关键横向进展和能力。 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，建立在为下一代制造研究所做的路线图工作的基础上。 这项工作的目标是提供一个重点突出的国家研究议程，这将突出整个美国制造业的个人和合作研发的机会。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-在未来15年内推进制造技术的目标和目的;（3）技术路线图-所需能力和进步的时间轴;以及（4）当前计划-相关正在进行的联邦和私人开发活动的目录。主题领域将来自下一代制造研究，包括：自适应响应信息系统;普适建模和仿真;下一代制造流程和设备;以及企业集成工具。在解决与“下一代制造业”相关的技术挑战方面，几乎没有共同努力或集体关注。其中许多挑战对于单个公司或政府机构来说太难了。显然，需要制定基础广泛的计划，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。美国制造业社区将大大受益于一个更有凝聚力的研究议程，突出制造业基础设施的关键技术需求。 在当前可用于制造业的研发资金不断减少的环境下，这一点尤为重要。这一项目的成果将为各机构和工业界提供一种机制，以便在共同关心的领域集中其资源。

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.
