9. 9 Intelligent Machines – what and why in Finland and Tampere ?

15. … and How ?working together with Industry, Development Organizations, Universities and EducationCase: Flexible manufacturing

16. Different levels of involvement:

17. FMS – Flexible manufacturing Systems Machining tools aroud stacker crane + Production control system/softwareautomating the whole production => Unmanned production (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX7rV5EdbDo&feature=player_embedded)

18. 18 CSM –hotel, Competitive Sustainable Manufacturing Hotel

19. 19 Every manufacturing process needs materials and a system to take it into the process and at the end to the customer Rail guided stacker crane is one approach – widely used in parts manufacturing and assembly integrated FM- systems (FMS)

20. 20 Not only process machinery but far more important --INFORMATION – is needed to take care of qualified, just in time services to the customers One, perhaps the most important outcome of the project is the concept of common, shared and scalable information dissemination tool
