Corsha Inc., a Washington D.C.-based cybersecurity firm, known for its innovative Identity Provider for Machines of all kinds, has been awarded a new contract through a competitive RFP released by the Cybersecurity Manufacturing Innovation Institute (CyManII) for the Department of Energy (DOE).
Corsha will join a diverse team led by Michigan Tech University, collaborating with experienced organisations in manufacturing, cybersecurity, and sustainability.
Cybersecurity playbook
The aim of the project’s Industrial Use Case is to demonstrate a secure digitalisation of a small-to-medium manufacturer’s (SMM) existing equipment to improve energy efficiency through a cybersecurity playbook and program.
Smart Manufacturing implementations can be effective in helping achieve positive economic impact only if the systems are secure, interoperable, low complexity, cost-effective, and technically sustainable.
Corsha Platform
Corsha Platform will provide the cybersecurity measures to securely connect the digitised data
The thermal curing process of the FRP rebar at Neuvokas Corp in Ahmeek, MI will be the focus of the Michigan Tech-led project. By digitising and securing Neuvokas’ digitised composite rebar conveyor oven curing process, the project will demonstrate and share the significant improvements in process feedback, quality control, throughput, and energy efficiency. The Corsha Platform will provide the cybersecurity measures to securely connect the digitised information across the transformed Neuvokas digital thread.
Dr. Vinh Nguyen at Michigan Tech University will lead the project and serve as Principal Investigator: “I’m excited to lead a real-world project inclusive to academia, industry, and the public sector who represent the stakeholders needed to meet the goals of US manufacturing,” Dr. Nguyen said. “We’re seeing rapid advancements in manufacturing technologies and need to make sure we’re measuring ourselves to cost-effectiveness, security, and sustainability metrics.”
Digital ecosystem
Corsha’s platform will be critical to managing access to the digital thread at Neuvokas Corp. developed on this project. “Manufacturers want to move to a more digital ecosystem but often find that transformation daunting,” said Eric Kumar, Head of Customer Success at Corsha. “We love to help our customers implement the right identity and access management measures to bring data assurance and confidence in connectivity they need to jump into Industry 4.0.”
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Michigan Tech, Neuvokas Corp, and CyManII on an important priority for the Department of Energy,” said Anusha Iyer, CEO and Founder of Corsha. “Our goal is to show that cyber can act as a bridge to protect and even better -- enhance the operational efficiency of small and medium manufacturers.”
