Tour the Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF) to discover how they partner with Georgia Tech to combine artificial intelligence and manufacturing innovations with transformational workforce and outreach programs.
Overview
The Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF) is a flagship component of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute as a location where early-stage concepts can go from idea to reality. Made possible by a $3 million gift from the Delta Air Lines Foundation, this facility is an integrated physical and cyber manufacturing technology testbed as well as a demonstration teaching facility. The facility is a flexible space that can house future manufacturing innovation projects of almost all shapes, from additive/hybrid manufacturing to composites to digital manufacturing/Industry 4.0 and industrial robotics. Similarly, the industry applications of these innovations are nearly endless; its industry partners range from aerospace and automotive companies to materials manufacturing companies. With each new project and innovation, AMPF is where the factory of the future is envisioned and created.

Company
The Advanced Manufacturing Pilot Facility (AMPF) is a 20,000-square-foot reconfigurable research and development high-bay manufacturing facility in Midtown, Atlanta that supports industrial, academic and government stakeholders and serves as a teaching laboratory. AMPF is a resource and key partner for SBIR/STTR development. Georgia Tech and the AMPF facility now support a statewide initiative that combines artificial intelligence and manufacturing innovations with transformational workforce and outreach programs.
As a flagship component of the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI), AMPF is a special place where industry works alongside researchers and students to take early-stage concepts from idea to reality.
Georgia Tech researchers amplify the AMPF mission through the development of industry technology roadmaps; collaborative research and demonstration projects; consortia projects; proof of concept initiatives; co-training with industry personnel on advanced manufacturing technologies and software; hosting symposia, workshops and roundtables; delivering presentations and papers; and participating in trade organizations and development of new industry standards.
