MIT Startup Exchange: OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AND SUPPLY CHAIN INNOVATION
Tue, December 8, 2020 WebinarWebinar: MIT Startup ExchangeThe Covid-19 pandemic has challenged many companies’ operational models, and will accelerate a global trend towards supply-chain resiliency and operational efficiency. Key to both will be a massive increase in gathering and analyzing operational data, and acting quickly and decisively on the insights gained. Successful operations in the coming years will, then, be more Connected, Automated, and increasingly Resilient in the face of disruptions. MIT and the MIT-connected startup community have been innovating in supply chains and operational efficiency for many years, and we have commercial, industry-ready solutions that will be key to this transformation. This workshop will present perspectives from industry leaders, academics, and corporate investors, while showcasing several MIT-connected startups in this field.

11.4.20-MRL-Digital-Welcome-Schuh
Over the past several decades the iterative trial-and-error approach to alloy design has become dramatically ‘digitally enhanced’. Physically-motivated computational models that incorporate thermodynamics, kinetics, and processing pathways can substantially narrow the search for optimum alloy compositions and configurations, while high-throughput experimental methods accelerate iteration. In advanced research areas where the controlling physics are not always known, computation can be augmented with data science and machine learning methods to span vast compositional spaces where few experiments exist. This talk will highlight projects of MIT faculty contributing to the digital transformation of the innovative ‘front-end’ of the metals industry—the design and reduction-to-practice of new alloys. -
11.4.20-MRL-Digital-Hart
Manufacturing of metal components is essential to every major industry, consumes significant natural resources, and involves complex supply chains. The promise of a digital thread from alloy formulation to scaled production and potential re-use therefore has inspired new experimental approaches and manufacturing techniques that go hand-in-hand with computational methods. This talk will highlight MIT research in the “hands-on” side of metals processing—including high-throughput laboratory techniques, in situ characterization of deformation and microstructure, new additive manufacturing processes, and resource-efficient extraction. An outlook will be framed in terms of the value chains of key industries, pathways for commercialization, and business models enabled by digital transformation. - November 5, 2020 MIT News
