Joe Hamann, an engineering and technology leader with diverse experience across the value chain, has been named executive director of 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Connected Systems Institute.<\/p>\n

Hamann will partner with Wisconsin industries on the goal of creating the workforce of the future in advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m fascinated with everything that is industry 4.0,\u201d Hamann said. \u201cAnd I’m anxious to have the opportunity to transfer innovation in advanced manufacturing to industry. When I think about my career, the one common theme \u2013 and my biggest passion \u2013 is making people stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Launched in 2017, the Connected Systems Institute<\/a> brings together 51ÁÔÆæ faculty, student researchers and industry members to develop advanced manufacturing processes using the testbed production line at CSI\u2019s on-campus facility.<\/p>\n

The term connected systems refers to the use of artificial intelligence, automated robotics and streaming data on the Industrial Internet of Things to improve factory efficiencies and inform strategic decision making.<\/p>\n

Support for the executive director position was provided by the institute\u2019s founding partner, Rockwell Automation.<\/p>\n

Hamann, whose educational background is in materials engineering, comes to the position with 17 years of experience. He\u2019s held roles of increasing responsibility across R&D and engineering, most recently serving as senior director of engineering for the Industrial Components Division at Regal Rexnord.<\/p>\n

While at Regal Rexnord, Hamann initiated the introduction of additive manufacturing and developed the company\u2019s early-career engineering leadership development program. More recently, his focus was on global engineering team leadership.<\/p>\n

A Milwaukee native, Hamann earned his bachelor\u2019s, master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in materials engineering at UW-Madison and a master\u2019s in business administration at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n

Under his leadership, Hamann said, the Connected Systems Institute will work with industry to help identify problems that advanced manufacturing can solve and provide training to prepare their workforce for the rapid acceleration of advanced manufacturing technology.<\/p>\n

In addition to Rockwell Automation, CSI has received significant support from Microsoft Corp., and there are five other industry members of CSI \u2013 Fortinet, UScellular, Brady Corp., Heartland Business Systems and Revere Electric. Another 10 companies are collaborators on various projects at the institute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
