“We can initiate a prototype right here on the floor at MxD, apply some of the different technologies and tools from other MxD member companies, and then be able to export it out of MxD into an actual shop floor environment very quickly.”
This 22,000-square-foot facility is a testbed for technology solutions for the manufacturing industry. As a hub for industry partners to collaborate, experiment, demonstrate and pilot, the MxD Factory Floor enables manufacturers, technology providers, educators, and government partners to explore advanced manufacturing capabilities. From automation to artificial intelligence, this space showcases the latest in manufacturing technologies.
We invite you to take a staff-led tour and explore our hands-on manufacturing environment, where you can experiment with and observe digital manufacturing technologies in action. Discover the many benefits of membership, including exclusive access to immersive workshops, valuable networking events, and collaborative project opportunities.
Check back soon. We’re planning new events for the near future!
Our members leverage the MxD Factory Floor to experiment with, test, and implement cutting-edge digital manufacturing and cybersecurity technologies in a safe, de-risked environment before deployment. This hands-on access empowers them to accelerate workforce training, solve real-world production challenges, and collaborate on innovative R&D projects that enhance efficiency and secure operations.

“MxD exemplifies how innovation networks accelerate digital transformation – taking manufacturers from concept to roadmap through demonstrations and focused workshops. Their Chicago facility showcases how Siemens’ ability to combine the real and digital worlds helps them to chart a course to increased resilience, productivity and adaptability.”
“We are thrilled to introduce our new Manufacturing Innovation Center at MxD, furthering our journey toward autonomous manufacturing. Manufacturing as an industry has been through generational changes in just a few years, and we believe we are uniquely positioned to help our clients unlock value through the confluence of technology, data, compute and AI. Our innovation center will leverage MxD’s unique network and serve our clients in unlocking this opportunity.”
