Manufacturing

Manufacturing. It's what makes the world's products. Our legacy was built by Moshe Barash in manufacturing processes and James Solberg in intelligent manufacturing systems. Being on the cutting edge is in our DNA. When manufacturing became more data and technology intensive, Purdue was ready to lead the charge.

Our researchers have written the playbook for what democratized, optimized, and digitized manufacturing should be. Our teams are constantly defining how to best integrate tomorrow's technology and manufacturing to allow for international leadership and ecological impact. Join us as we light the path as America reshores, retools, and reclaims leadership in manufacturing.
