On May 12, 2020, IEEE Computer Society Smart Manufacturing Standards Committee (IEEE/C/SM) held its first plenary session online. The meeting clarified the organization’s procedures, organizational structure and the main members of the first Technical Advisory Committee and Standards Review Committee.
IEEE/C/SM was established on September 5, 2019, aiming to guide, manage, and supervise the establishment, development, review, publication, promotion, and implementation of IEEE Intelligent Manufacturing standards. The development scope of IEEE/C/SM standards mainly includes basic common standards for smart manufacturing, smart equipment standards, smart factory standards, smart service standards, smart enabling technology standards, industrial internet standards, and application standards for various industries in manufacturing.
The plenary session confirmed the organizational structure of IEEE/C/SM as below,
In the structure, the Technical Advisory Committee is mainly responsible for discussing and researching standardization needs in the field of intelligent manufacturing; the Standards Review Committee is mainly responsible for standardization of key processes and decision-making on essential matters, which includes the technical review on the project authorization request and the standards drafts to be voted. The specific standardization works are carried out in different working group, such as IEEE P2671 Machine Vision Online Detection Working Group (IEEE/C/SM/OD_WG), IEEE P2672 Mass Personalized Customization Working Group (IEEE/C/SM/KG_WG) and IEEE P2806 Digital Representation Working Group (IEEE/C/SM/DR_WG), etc. The leadership of the Standards Committee comes from China, in which the chairman and secretary come from CESI, and the chairmen of the Standards Review Committee and the Technical Advisory Committee come from Shanghai Jiaotong University and the China Robot Industry Alliance, respectively.
The meeting also introduced the IEEE/C/SM 2020 work plan and the status of smart manufacturing standardization and adopted the entity-based general working group procedure. Working groups including P2671, P2672 and P2806 introduced their standards projects under development and work plans. Experts from the project teams for 4 standards to be initiated introduced the main contents of these standards and their work plans.
The cooperation between IEEE and CESI in smart manufacturing standards will, on one hand, help promote IEEE’s visibility in China, and on the other hand expand China’s international influence. This cooperation could be a good reference for European stakeholders attempting to extend their influence in China.
