Digitalization does not only make factories smarter, the relevant services are also increasingly driven by data. Leadec is therefore consistently working on smart solutions for their services. With the Smart Factory Group, Leadec’s new digitalization unit, the company has created an Innovation Hub to support the Product Clusters Engineer, Install, Maintain and Support with the new and further development of own digital solutions and business models. To this end, the Smart Factory Group coordinates the development of the digital offerings across the company and functions as a platform for the close exchange between the business units, regions and international technology partners. “It will create synergies, we will increase our innovative strength and strengthen our market position as partner for digitalized services for Industry 4.0,” Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of the Leadec Group, says about the new Smart Factory Group.
