DOE, in turn, asked the National Academies to convene a consensus study committee to explore and recommend options for a national plan for smart manufacturing. A committee of leading experts in advanced and smart manufacturing was assembled from across academia, industry, and trade and technology associations to examine the state of the smart manufacturing industry; explore technology, workforce and education, social and environmental, and economic challenges and opportunities; and recommend critical elements and considerations for DOE's national plan for smart manufacturing.

In the following list, the Energy Act of 2020 also describes what is intended by the term "smart manufacturing," which includes advanced technologies in information, automation, monitoring, computation, sensing, modeling, artificial intelligence, analytics, and networking that • Digitally simulate manufacturing production lines; operate computer- controlled manufacturing equipment; monitor and communicate produc tion line status; and manage and optimize energy productivity and cost throughout production; • Model, simulate, and optimize the energy efficiency of a factory building; • Monitor and optimize building energy performance; • Model, simulate, and optimize the design of energy efficient and sustainable products, including the use of digital prototyping and additive manufactur ing to enhance product design; • Connect manufactured products in networks to monitor and optimize the performance of the networks, including automated network operations; and • Digitally connect the supply chain network. The concept of smart manufacturing is crosscutting, encompassing different disciplines of research and development including energy productivity, process

ecosystem that can facilitate quicker development, deployment, and adoption of smart manufacturing technologies and processes; promote greater energy efficiency and lower environmental impacts for American manufacturers; and enhance competitiveness and strengthen the manufacturing sectors of the United States. This National Academies study is intended provide options for DOE to consider when developing its national plan for smart manufacturing technology devel opment and deployment; the report focuses on the topics outlined in the study's statement of task.
