to know what types of technologies are needed,” Helu said. “Measurement science is very much the bread and butter of NIST. We want to understand not just whether we have the right data, but if we’re using the right way to collect it.” NIST is also collaborating with


TechSolve to develop case studies in relevant areas of manufacturing, Helu said. The Smart Manufacturing test bed involves networking NIST’s machines both in the Gaithersburg headquarters and NIST’s Boulder, CO, offi ces. “We’re functioning basically as a small to medium-sized job shop and building a cyber component with com- puter-added technologies,” Helu said. These would include advanced manu- facturing capabilities such as additive manufacturing, model-based enterprise, machine-to-machine communications, and cloud computing and services, with the aim of collaborating and creating highly customizable products that are faster, cheaper, better, and greener. Some of the questions that need answering for shop-fl oor data collec- tion and smart manufacturing include dynamic scheduling and routing and
