I'm Jonathan Wise, and I've been involved with manufacturing information systems, analytics and bridging the OT/IT divide for more than 25 years. Today we call this "smart manufacturing" or "Industry 4.0" and I work with some of the organizations leading the charge, including CESMII - The Smart Manufacturing Institute, the OPC Foundation and Manufacturing-X.
I'm the Chief Technology Architect at CESMII, which is the United States' national institute focused on this space, and a department of UCLA's Office of Advanced Research Computing, where I've contributed to both curriculum and patent creation.
I'm also a smart manufacturing consultant for manufacturers working on their own digital transformations.
Among other things, I advocate for open and common technologies, standards, and best practices that can help everyone do manufacturing smarter and more efficiently.
