Description
Outdated intra-factory logistics are troubling European manufacturing sector, whose logistics account for up to half of total manufacturing costs. Investing in advanced technologies would tackle the production challenge, but they require strategic thinking, simulation, planning, re-skilling and access to finance. Lots of resources that most manufacturers don’t have. L4MS helps small and medium-sized manufacturers and automation providers to pilot advanced technologies in factories by offering industrial IoT platform to connect factory equipment and test the desired solution virtually before final investment decision. L4MS offers funding, technical mentoring and business expertise to help lift manufacturing productivity in Europe.
