in part to save manufacturers of all sizes millions of dollars by democratizing the flow of innovative digital manufacturing data. The DMC is being built on a platform GE scientists had demon- strated with DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency of the DoD, and MIT a few years earlier. DMDII plans “a full launch” of the DMC by the first quarter of next year, Barkley said.
Beta testing, which began in February, will continue past
the DMC’s launch. “We are doing an agile development process on this project,” he said. “So we are rolling out new features that we want tested, as well.” One new feature: A membership “portal,” which would allow membership interaction and communications. “We have a lot of R&D projects we do with members, and a lot of those have strategic communications associated with them,” Barkley said. “They want to connect with each other. And right now, we’re making these connections in a more manual kind of way.” The DMC is meant to operate like an app store where manufacturers go to use tools or apps to solve problems or

work more efficiently. They might program machines, design assembly lines or find properties of a tool or material. When a manufacturer solves a technical challenge, it may also be able to collaborate and share that solution with others. “Part of our charter at DMDII is that we are neutral territory for everybody in industry,” Barkley said. “We are non-com- petitive, and that allows us to have a special role in hosting these platforms that are trying to bring different arms of industry, government and academia together.” The DMDII is working to swiftly populate the DMC online community with open data and software, as well as case studies that show how real-world problems were solved. The institute is also formally contracting for new content: It is planning to invest roughly $1 million in five DMC-related projects that will run either 12 or 18 months each to turn out “what we perceive to be really key value cases to solve some fundamental pain points for the manufacturing base we’re trying to help,” Barkley said. —Brett Brune, Editor, Smart Manufacturing
