The Technology-Human INtegrated Knowledge Education and Research Program (THINKER) at Clemson’s Automotive Engineering Department (CU-ICAR) is a multidisciplinary, research-focused graduate traineeship sponsored by the National Science Foundation. PhD and master’s level students will work alongside undergraduate and technical college students exploring the results of integrating the human element with the digital manufacturing enterprise. These research projects will yield data to inform curriculum redesign across multiple disciplines and educational entities and enhance research across disciplines. The program employs innovative coursework in collaborative teamwork, manufacturing, human behavior and big data analysis in addition to multi-disciplinary technical curricula. Special workshops in career readiness and success factors, along with mentoring and coaching by industry participants, will ensure that students from every level have guided career planning. These uniquely qualified students will enter the workforce having established credentials, qualifying them to function seamlessly and effectively in the growing digital manufacturing environment. Industry participation is key to this initiative. Novel partnerships and prolific collaborations will arise from the intersection of industry, education and research resulting in a multitude of long-range benefits to all stakeholders. As the chair of the External Advisory Board, I am recruiting a top notch group of industry, government, and education leaders and bringing them together with the program leadership to ensure that THINKER is positioned to meet its goals and deliver the best possible leaders for the future of manufacturing.

Praemo is revolutionizing how industrial companies think about the role of digital technology inside their operations. We help our customers reduce equipment downtime, optimize production processes, and manage risks. This results in improved productivity, lower costs, and a more sustainable operation, overall. Praemo is leveraging the best technology and practices from the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Lean to deliver benefits to our customers. Razor™ by Praemo, securely connects to data sources and gathers pertinent information. With the help of predictive analytics, production disruptions can be detected before they happen and prescriptive intelligence drives improvement by ‘prescribing’ the actions that will minimize those disruptions. Razor insights and suggested recommendations help customers take preemptive action to reduce equipment downtime, optimize production processes, and manage risks.We are committed to building technology with the mission of delivering truly sustainable productivity and cost improving digital technology in a more user-friendly/intuitive and cost-effective method than ever before.
