DERRY, N.H. <\/strong>\u2013 (Dec. 2, 2024) \u2013 <\/strong>Intelitek<\/a> and educational resource integrator Learning Labs<\/a>, Inc., announced today that Benton County Schools in Camden, Tenn., has installed the SmartCIM 4.0<\/a> training environment in its new computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) lab. The SmartCIM 4.0 Advanced Manufacturing capstone environment will be installed at Camden Central High School.<\/p>\n

Supporting the state\u2019s focus on developing CTE in high schools, the new lab was funded through Tennessee\u2019s Innovative School Models grant program, which empowers schools to eliminate the structural barriers that exist between K-12, postsecondary, and workforce systems. As a result, more students have opportunities to participate in innovative local programs aligned to Tennessee\u2019s highest-demand skills and careers. Benton County Schools is the recipient of a $2.7 million grant, part of which was used to fund the lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to that historic investment made by Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee General Assembly, this will be the first CIM lab installed anywhere in the state,\u201d said Tony Oran, CEO of Intelitek. \u201cWe are incredibly honored to have been chosen to help Benton County Schools blaze this trail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The SmartCIM 4.0 is a real manufacturing line and training system that gives students hands-on experience with industrial-grade equipment and applications within a school lab environment. The system is configured to function as a fully automated factory, supporting the design, manufacture, and testing of products and components. Key components of the Benton County Career and Technical Center\u2019s installation include:<\/p>\n
