I currently work on democ ratization of manufacturing\, helping smaller manufacturers to bid on and win larger contracts\, especially in aerospace and defense industry\, with or without an orderly network for search and discovery of individual capa bilities. I will focus his discussion on two topics 1. Our efforts on inte grating university research and technology transfer\, to support small ind ustry needs in Shape Engineering for Advanced Manufacturing (SEAM) and 2. Empowering small manufacturers through the creation of a state-wide ecosys tem.\nShape Engineering for Advanced Manufacturing (SEAM) is a blend of in novative technologies\, methodologies and expertise designed to provide ra pid measurement and manufacturing to support the Maintenance\, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) activities of the increasing number of military and commerc ial aerospace industries within Oklahoma and its neighboring states. SEAM seeks to provide better solutions for shape engineering\, metrology\, addi tive manufacturing\, and re-manufacturing. As a pilot effort\, an unusual\ , somewhat unique\, and very compelling business model was created: the co mbination of two entities - a research and development center feeding tech nologies\, products and services into a related corporation that determine d their best markets\, and sold aggressively into those markets. The pilot model identified key challenges in technology investment\, export control \, intellectual property management\, conflicts of interest\, and student education. Our successes and challenges will be discussed in this seminar. \nThis has led to the second topic of discussion: Democratization of Manuf acturing. This allows for larger manufacturers to communicate with a wider set of suppliers. This has increased the data-sharing aspects between the different manufacturers. Design files are the primary source for sharing the part design data between different elements of the manufacturing ecosy stem\, and communicating design intent to manufacturing and inspection. Mo dern analytics tools and artificial intelligence integration into manufact uring can significantly advance machine recognition of design specificatio n and manufacturing constraints. This talk will discuss how collaboration could be facilitated among multiple vendors across supply chains to enable efficient order procurement\, based on capabilities of individual manufac turers.\nAbout Shiva Raman\nDr. Shivakumar Raman is Morris R. Pitman Profe ssor\, David Ross Boyd Professor\, and Director of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (OU) where he has worked for 37 years. He received his PhD from the Pennsylvania State University. He is a n elected Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)\, Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE)\, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME). He has received an OK Innovator of the year in 2009\, and was inducted into the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fam e in 2016. He has taught more than 5000 Mechanical\, Aerospace and Industr ial Engineers\; and guided the research of more than 200 undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Oklahoma.\nHis research of the pas t 40 years spans the field of manufacturing and has focused on such topics as i) measurement and quality of manufactured products ii) adaptive metho ds for sensing and metrology for improving the efficiency of manufacturing processes\, iii) applying process tribology to improve the utilization of manufacturing machines iv) creating substitute materials and manufacturin g processes for medical implants and v) process modeling for integrating a nd characterizing system behavior.\nIn support of his research activities\ , he has secured approximately 50 grants and contracts valued at nearly $3 3 million as a PI/PD or Co-PI. His funding has come from a variety of sour ces including NSF\, NASA\, USAF\, FAA-DOT\, NIST\, and aerospace/defense i ndustry such as Boeing and Northrop. He has obtained 14 separate grants fr om NSF alone\, within a total of 28 Federal grants and contracts as a PI o r Co-PI. Publications (over 150 including 80 Journal articles) based on hi s research with his students have appeared in a variety of high impact jou rnals as Wear\, ASME Transactions: Journal of Manufacturing Science and En gineering\, SME Journal of Manufacturing Processes\, and the International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacturing.
