CCAM Identifies Priorities to Drive Manufacturing Improvement Near-Term Commonwealth Center for Advanced Manufacturing has a simple goal – identify and move new technologies into manufacturing. The center’s leader will describe priorities for the coming 12-36 months, ranging from automation to use of human/machine interface technologies to enable “speed of line” translation of procedures and to translate knowledge gained from experience. At the same time, CCAM is setting aside some investment to look at early stage technologies to determine which, if followed, could provide the disruptive capability for five years from now. § Moderator: Ed Hazelwood, Aviation Week Conferences Editor in Chief |
