Without which it would be difficult and costly to realise the vision of Smart Manufacturing.

​

To help bring the First Principles of Smart Manufacturing to light, I invited Conrad Leiva for a podcast conversation. Conrad is the VP of Ecosystem and Workforce Development at the Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute, CESMII.

​

CESMII is a US Government funded institute with a mission to democratise Smart Manufacturing and make its methodologies and technologies more affordable and accessible to SME manufacturers.
