Presentation Title:  Smart Manufacturing:  Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Abstract:

In this presentation, we give a simple definition of smart and argue that manufacturing has always been smart.  We then trace the evolution and the characteristics of smart manufacturing from its beginning a few thousand years ago to its current and likely future states. We also discuss some of the key features of that future and some of research questions that must be addressed before that future becomes a reality
