ABOUT AMI

The AMI Community

AMI is led by industry veterans with decades of experience in delivering production-level digital solutions in the manufacturing sector. 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. We want to be your “go-to” partner for your digital transformation.

Our Extended Network

Our internal knowledge network extends throughout our corporation to include the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining  (NCDMM), Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS), 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.

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.

Our expertise

Our renowned industry experts led the development of many Industry 4.0 technologies and know how to successfully apply the right technology to improve your value stream. They are well-qualified to assess your production and provide expert consultation at a cost that only a non-profit company can offer.

Our process

Using lean Six Sigma methods, we work with you to develop a customized fit for your needs. We provide a customized roadmap to integrate our technology into your manufacturing process so that operators and supervisors, planners, and engineers can make better decisions from shop floor to top floor.

Our community

You will be enrolled in our membership program for one year at no charge. We provide access to product user communities for “peer-to-peer” learning to address the cultural changes to execute a successful digital transformation. In addition, we will continue to offer assistance through virtual meetings and product workshops.

Our commitment

Installation is usually a day and we remain on site to insure proper set-up and for training. Additional help is available by phone or video conferencing. We are also committed to helping you expand and develop your technology applications through additional consulting and technology applications.
