... All five projects exhibit sound approaches; each project has captured the state of the industry, identified current practices and standards, defined the challenges, and presented proposals for obtaining solutions. The projects all have inputs or collaborations with industry, academia, and/or government agencies and laboratories.

From page 27...
... The SMOPAC program needs to put together a business case for small-, medium-, and large-scale industries to use these tools. As previously mentioned, the Prognostics, Health Management, and Control team has developed an effective and efficient linear axis error detection methodology based on data collected from an inertial measurement unit (IMU)

... The SMOPAC program can also engage additional manufacturers, including new entrants to the manufacturing sector, such as start-up manufacturing companies and suppliers to ensure alignment and identify early adopters of advanced technologies, programs, tools, and processes. They could also partner with Manufacturing USA to establish STEP-like computer-aided design (CAD)
