SID has two software tools for making systems more secure:

Baseline Tailor—softwarefor navigating the US government's Cybersecurity Framework and navigating NIST's security control.

SCAP Composer—an app that makes SCAP source data stream collections.

Enabling the Digital Thread for Smart Manufacturing

This page lists the resources and accomplishments that came from the Digital Thread for Smart Manufacturing project, which dramatically improved the repurposing, reuse, and traceability of information throughout the product lifecycle.

  PixabayScore:the open source platform for data exchange standards

Score isa platform created by SID and the Open Application Group (OAGi) that helps the manufacturing industry better communicate across organizations.

Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) Test Bed

This test bed combines Computer-Aided Technologies (CAx) and Manufacturing Labs with data publication web services. Its goal is to allow smart manufacturing R&D across a product's lifecycle.

STEP File Analyzer and Viewer

This software allows the user to view and analyze files in STEP (ISO 10303), a format that represents manufactured parts and assemblies.

  N. Hanacek/NISTSupply Chain Traceability for Agri-Food Manufacturing

This project aims to improve traceability and cybersecurity in agri-food manufacturing supply chains, increasing trust among participants and customers.

Sustainable Manufacturing Standards Related to ASTM

Standards that help manufacturers “map” the critical environmental aspects of their processes. These are crucial for increasing sustainability in manufacturing systems.

Technical Language Processing Community of Interest

This COI uses Technical Language Processing to address industry's needs and create guidelines based on user requirements and measurement science research.

  Joshua HoehneTrustworthiness and Traceability of Supply Chain Data

Smart Manufacturing Systems makes supply chains faster and more accurate, but only if the data in these systems are traceable and secure. This traceability initiative is creating best practices for data owners to keep their information secure and traceable.

Circular Economy in Manufacturing

SID is working to create new standards, tools, and business models to help manufacturers achieve their circular economy goals, demonstrate their results, and measure progress.
