Description

Miami University seeks a U.S.-based manufacturing company that designs, builds, sells, services, or uses manufacturing machines to partner on the SIGHT project. The partner will provide access to proposed machines, manuals, safety documents, and CAD models; help integrate virtual- and augmented-reality training with the machines; develop machine-specific question-and-answer benchmarks; provide at least three qualified experts to evaluate AI-generated answers and retrieved passages; review standard operating procedures, CAD models, and digital twins; and help test and disseminate the training. An original equipment manufacturer is preferred, as is an Ohio presence, particularly in Southwest Ohio. The selected partner will also provide dedicated liaisons, support testing with workers, and help develop a pathway for licensing and technology transfer. The proposal must address the requested technical questions, include a cost proposal, key-personnel information and short bios, at least two similar-project references, sustainability information, and the required grant-compliance statement. The work is grant-contingent, is planned for July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2029, and may not be subcontracted.
