Background
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Engineering Laboratory (EL) supports the advancement of Additive Manufacturing (AM). As AM transitions from prototyping to industrial production, the seamless integration of AM machines with enterprise software specifically Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) is the primary enabler for increasing throughput and addressing scalability issues. However, the standards are missing for interoperable AM and MES integration. The research team at the System Integration Division has a research objective to develop a neutral information model that can be standardized for AM and MES integration. As part of the efforts to develop standard information model to integrate AM and MES systems, the Information Modeling and Testing group will conduct a six-month benchmarking study to compare (a) a standards-based AM-MES integration approach using a neutral information model and validation, versus (b) an AI-assisted point-to-point integration approach using Large Language Model (LLM)-driven documentation ingestion and code generation, and (c) test the performance and efforts using exist...
