The National Technology Initiative’s Technet (Advanced Manufacturing Technologies) focus area

This article presents the key milestones of the National Technology Initiative’s (NTI) Technet (Advanced Manufacturing Technologies) focus area. First, the authors emphasize some basic principles which characterize and distinguish Technet from the new markets of the NTI. Then, they proceed to goals and objectives provided for by the NTI Technet Roadmap approved on 14 February 2017. Most of the article is devoted to projects carried out in the framework of the Roadmap and aimed to overcome technological barriers. The article concludes with an overview of the activities by the Technet Legislative and Regulatory Working Group, the Technet Association and the Technet Infrastructure Center

Keywords: National Technology Initiative, Technet Roadmap, advanced manufacturing technologies, Digital, Smart and Virtual Factories of the Future, Testbeds, Technet Association
