Advanced Manufacturing Technology Services - Technology Assistance Services (AMTS - TAS)

The Program was funded by NIST-MEP as part of a national effort to increase the adoption of advanced manufacturing technology services in the area of Industry / Manufacturing 4.0. It placed an emphasis on serving the technology-based needs of small U.S. manufacturers through a collaboration across three MEP Centers - CMTC (CA MEP), MAGNET (OH MEP) & PA MEP.

The program implemented technology adoption projects with the goal of developing scalable, repeatable technology adoption services. The program initially focused on three target industries paired with three technologies as illustrated below:
