On December 11, 2025, the Innovative Manufacturers’ Center (IMC) along with approximately 100 industry manufacturing professionals, attended the CESMII Smart Manufacturing Roadshow hosted by the Digital Foundry in New Kensington, PA, an event highlighting the power of Smart Manufacturing for small to large manufacturers across Pennsylvania.
Participants explored the latest technologies, heard real-world success stories, and learned how Smart Manufacturing drives efficiency, growth, and competitiveness. Industry leaders including JV Manufacturing, MSA Safety, Pulva Corporation, Zoll Medical Device Company, and Pittsburgh’s iconic Mancini Bakery shared how assessing needs and applying Smart Manufacturing technologies helped them meet, and often exceed, their operational goals.
Experts from the Collaborative Ecosystems Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CESMII) and other industry related representatives also outlined opportunities for manufacturers to assess their readiness and develop a customized Smart Manufacturing Roadmap with support from organizations like the IMC, Digital Foundry, and other CESMII-certified professionals.
IMC is proud to be home to one of only six Certified Smart Manufacturing Roadmap Professionals in Pennsylvania. Contact IMC Business Advisor, Rick Terry, to learn how Smart Manufacturing can benefit your operation or to schedule a consultation.
