ABOUT AMI

The AMI Community

AMI is led by industry veterans with decades of experience in delivering production-level digital solutions to manufacturing. We believe our experience, our broad network of manufacturers, solution vendors, and academic partners – along with our targeted focus on SMMs – is a powerful combination to help your company benefit from smart manufacturing without breaking the bank.

At AMI, our experience tells us that SMMs should drive the process and content to make this industry-led and industry-focused. The ecosystem is designed for SMMs to share, collaborate and learn, and we want to be your “go-to” partner for your digital transformation.

Our Extended Network

Our internal knowledge network extends throughout all our corporation at the National Center for Defense Machine and Manufacturing (NCDMM), America Makes, and our parent corporation, the Manufacturing Technology Deployment Group (MTDG). We work as a collaborative team to provide innovative solutions to you and your company. In addition, our network extends into many other well-known organizations in North America, Europe, and Asia.

About AMI

Advanced Manufacturing International, Inc. (AMI) was launched in August 2020 as a non-profit organization with a clear mission – work to support SMM’s by advancing manufacturing technology adoption and learning opportunities to communities of interest.  At AMI, our goal is to enable small to medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) everywhere to collaborate, innovate and thrive. Many large organizations are rapidly adopting smart manufacturing solutions to reduce costs, increase throughput and open new markets. While SMMs, have the expertise and the desire to do the same, they often lack the time and money to develop or procure these emerging digital solutions in a way that quickly creates value for their business. AMI was created to bridge that gap with innovative low-cost solutions appropriate for smaller companies at any phase of their digital journey.

They are well-qualified to assess your production and provide expert consultation at a cost that only a non-profit company can offer.
