Abstract

The Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS) Scheme is an industry-led, research and development (R&D) program that facilitates research in advanced manufacturing through international cooperation. IMS is the world´s only government-supported multi-lateral program for manufacturing research and development. It was established in order to provide a framework for cooperative R&D to share costs, risks, and expertise leading to improved manufacturing operations, enhanced international competitiveness, and technology breakthroughs via industrially driven R&D and innovation.
