2nd Pilot Institute: Next Generation Power Electronics

Mission: Develop advanced manufacturing processes that will enable large-scale production of wide bandgapsemiconductors, which allow power electronics components to be smaller, faster and more efficient than silicon.

President ObamaNorth Carolina State University, January 15, 2014

Lead: North Carolina State UniversityHub Location: Research Triangle Park, NC

Poised to revolutionize the energy efficiency of power control and

conversion

$70M public investment, $70M match

• 17 Industry Partners• 5 Universities• 3 Labs and Other Organizations

6th Pilot Institute Funding Opportunity Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Innovation Institute

More than $100M federal investment over five years

ObjectiveDevelop and demonstrate innovative technologies for:• Ultra high-speed transmission of signals for the

internet and telecommunications • New high-performance information-processing

systems and computing• Sensors and imaging enabling dramatic medical

advances in diagnostics, treatment, and genesequencing

All these developments will require cross-cutting disciplines of design,

manufacturing, packaging, reliability and testing.

This Institute will focus on developing an end-to-end photonics ‘ecosystem’ in the U.S., including domestic foundry access, integrated design tools, automated packaging, assembly and test, and workforce development.

NNMI Next Steps

UI LABS/DMDII Facility, Chicago ILOpening March 2015

94,000 square feet - digital manufacturing manufacturing lab, instructional and collaboration space

Example Institute: Digital Manufacturing

1) Clear, unique Institute FocusEach Institute has a clear mission based on a critical Industry need

Impact: Manufacturing is undergoing a “Digital Manufacturing Renaissance” which will revolutionize the way products are designed, and processes engineered and validated. This big new idea is the Digital Thread to unleash design and manufacturing data. Current software tools are expensive, do not talk to each other, and require expertise that does not exist at many manufacturing companies.

This Institute is developing cutting edge software tools that will allow companies to bring new products to market, faster and at lower cost than they can today. These tools will allow designers and makers to share data about design and manufacturing, and to collaborate online.

The Institute will develop the common approach and offer open source software that is free and easy to use, and will train U.S. manufacturers in how to use it. The consortium includes America’s best manufacturing companies such as GE, Dow, Boeing, and Caterpillar. These companies have committed to use these new tools and to encourage their supply networks – which represent tens of thousands of small manufacturing businesses – to do the same. Through this network, this Institute will drive the adoption of digital manufacturing technologies in a way that will improve the competitiveness of the entire U.S. manufacturing sector.

2) Clear Industry Value Proposition

Applied R&D: Leverage significant government, industry, and academic investments to implement innovative solutions to member challenges

Digital Manufacturing Commons: Exchange product information and transmit detailed design information on a secure, neutral and IP-safe digital environment

Workforce Training: Access specialized training to prepare current and future workforces for the latest manufacturing methods and technologies

Each Institute creates value for industry participation and funding

A partnership of world-class companies including:

Top universities including: Proven talent from numerous state, educational, and vocational institutions:

Hundreds of Small and Medium Sized Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs) seeking to improve competitiveness:

3) Strong Private-Public Partnership

Each Institute is owned and operated by a consortium; a partnership of Industry, Academia and government

4) Addressing Critical ChallengesBy workshops and Technology Roadmaps, Each Institute works on the industry priorities and big challenges only solvable by collaboration

• First Project Call – DARPA AVM Transition • Digital Manufacturing Commons (GE online collaboration platform)• 1000 Jobs (Workforce Development Initiative)• Project calls 6, 7 & 8 in each technology thrust area

1. First ProjectsIdentified in proposal and by federal government customer

3. Strategic Investment Plan

Driven by DMDII Technical Advisory Committee

• Identifies value opportunities from digital manufacturing, and obstacles preventing the value from being realized

• Offers taxonomy and ranking of biggest market pull opportunities

2. Technology RoadmapDriven by DMDII Technical Advisory Committee

• Identifies 13 specific technology investment topics• Investment plan is structured into problem statements with near-term

impact (rather than potential solutions)• Next Project Call – open NOW

Activity Result

5) Balanced Portfolio of Projects

From Technology Roadmaps and Strategic Investment Plan, Each Institute manages a balanced portfolio of real projects for Industry

“In my State of the Union Address, I asked Congress to build on a successful pilot program and create 15 manufacturing innovation institutes that connect businesses, universities, and federal agencies to turn communities left behind by global competition into global centers of high-tech jobs.

“Today, I’m asking Congress to build on the bipartisan support for this idea and triple that number to 45 – creating a network of these hubs and guaranteeing that the next revolution in manufacturing is ‘Made in America.’”

Call to Action: RAMI calls upon the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and NIST to establish:

1. The “Network for Manufacturing Innovation Program” (Network function) - to convene and support a network of Institutes

2. New “Centers for Manufacturing Innovation” (Institutes) -using an open topic, open competition process

3. The National Program Office at NIST - to oversee and carry out the program (coordination, network support, and reporting)

NNMI FY 2016 Budget Request

Continues operations for previously funded institutes. Through FY 2015, funding was provided to DOE and DOD to initiate nine

institutes.

Requests over $350 million for seven new institutes. Funds are requested in the discretionary budgets of DOD (1), DOE (2), USDA

(2), and DOC (2).

Includes a mandatory proposal to build out the full Network of 45 institutes over ten years $1.9B mandatory request with spending beginning in FY2017

For DOC specifically, the Budget proposes $150M for two NNMI Institutes on industry-proposed technologies and NNMI Network coordination
