- Smart Manufacturing (Industry 4.0)
Summary
Along with most of the automation community, ISA knows that the future of manufacturing is more than just being automated—it is a digital, smart, and integrated set of cyber-physical systems enabling greater performance in terms of agility, efficiency, safety, security, and sustainability. The fourth industrial revolution introduced a paradigm shift. This is why, in 2020, ISA created the Smart Manufacturing and IIoT (SMIIoT) Division. Today, more than 3,000 ISA members want to be a part of it.
ISA divisions help members professionally and technically by focusing on specific vertical industries or technology clusters. They develop technical content and standardized approaches to solving critical problems and provide a forum for networking and collaboration.
SMIIoT Division members do this work through one of eight technical committees that each represent key topics within the Industry 4.0 framework. SMIIoT Division activities are directed by the 2022 division leaders shown on this page. Activities include:
- creating and collecting technical resources such as articles, whitepapers, webinars, and case studies
- supporting ISA’s Smart Manufacturing & IIoT Conference
- collaborating with ISA Districts and Sections to promote and disseminate relevant information
- expanding volunteer opportunities for further collaboration and networking
- publishing a quarterly newsletter for awareness of SMIIoT Division activities
- developing a network of smart manufacturing and IIoT partner organizations as resources to members.
Join the SMIIoT Division if you want to learn, contribute, and network around one or more of its topics, and help division members and ISA create a better world through automation. Visit the division website or contact any of the division leaders.
