Pooling expertise and shaping the future

By mechanical engineers, for mechanical engineers – ADAMOS promotes knowledge sharing among global market leaders in mechanical and factory equipment engineering. The strategic alliance focuses on the future trends of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), with the aim of driving forward digitalisation in mechanical engineering. As a trailblazer in the field of digital engineering, item has now also joined the ADAMOS network. By becoming a member, the pioneer of building kit systems for industrial applications is actively engaging with other machinery and component suppliers. The primary focus is on integrating networked products into existing and future business models. 

 

Adaptive Manufacturing Open Solutions (ADAMOS) GmbH is committed to strong, digitalised mechanical engineering. The network consists of more than 30 mechanical and factory equipment engineering companies and several software companies. Their goal is to pool the expertise of the global market leaders in mechanical and factory equipment engineering and create standards for digital production. item has been a partner in ADAMOS since 1 October 2020. “The alliance creates future-oriented digital solutions and applications for IIoT technologies,” says Jens-Uwe Gustmann, who is responsible for product management and business model development at item. “We hope the partnership will enable us to actively engage with companies that have a similar focus to us.” Which products can best meet the future requirements of customers?
