Agile Manufacturing

Agile manufacturing is an approach to manufacturing which is focused on meeting the needs of customers while maintaining high standards of quality and controlling the overall costs involved in the production of a particular product. This approach is geared towards companies working in a highly competitive environment, where small variations in performance and product delivery can make a huge difference in the long term to a company's survival and reputation among consumers.


In Agile Manufacturing Lab the following companies could find support: Production oriented companies - these are all companies that aim to set up a new or improved production process for a particular product. Industry 4.0 technology solution providers - these are all companies that offer technology solutions in the Industry 4.0 areas - automation, cyber security, additive manufacturing, simulation, the cloud, augmented reality, big data, internet of things and integration.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The AgTech Lab organized three batches and supported 38 scaleups.
