$1,878,952 in Economic Adjustment funds to Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansas, to fund the purchase of integrated multi-robotic equipment for Wichita State University’s new Innovation Campus building to support advanced manufacturing initiatives. The new equipment will support development and demonstration of advanced manufacturing processes. It will also allow manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and researchers to test innovative automated processes that are sustainable, affordable, and manageable. The project supports the recent designation of Wichita as an IMCP manufacturing community, and is projected to create capacity through training and business engagement to support job creation and retention in the advanced manufacturing sector in the 27-county south Kansas region. This investment is part of a $3.9 million project.
