Research Areas AIMS

 

 

 

Research at AIMS is organized around four areas that deliberately intersect. Integration, not isolated discipline, is our differentiator.

 

 

 

Smart materials for sustainable manufacturing

01 /

Advanced and Sustainable Manufacturing

Convergence of advanced manufacturing processes, robotics and materials innovation — from design to system-level deployment.

Advanced materials | Sustainable manufacturing | Intelligent production systems

Artificial Intelligence for Industrial Systems

02 /

AI for manufacturing systems 

AI that doesn't operate in isolation: integrated with sensors, computing and physical control layers, robotics and energy. Adaptive, autonomous, data-driven systems.

Machine Learning | Sensors and data acquisition | Autonomous Decisions

Supply Chain and logistics systems

03 /

Supply Chain & Logistics Systems

End-to-end supply chain design and transformation. Resilience, efficiency, sustainability and special attention to Scope 3 and regulatory pressures.

Optimization | Resilience | Adaptive supply chains

Low Income Firms Tranformation Lab

04 /

Low-Income Firms Transformation  (LIFT) Lab

AI applied to micro and small enterprises in low-data environments. An initiative born at MIT CTL, actively expanding at Tec de Monterrey.

Technological innovation | Inclusion | MSEs
