From a strategic point of view, key objectives to be achieved in the framework of the eSPINDLE subproject are: (1) to boost visibility and internationalisation of the offer of a production equipment supplier in the metal sector (i.e., providing electro spindles and repair services) through the introduction of its catalogue of products and services in the MARKET4.0 ecommerce platform targeting a pan-European market; (2) to support digitalisation process by including new digital services supporting the bidding phase of customised products and previous assessment of the repair services; (3) experiment and evaluate the new ways of work.
From an operation point of view main objectives involved increased turnover and market distribution as well as increased efficiency in the bidding process (i.e., reduction of time & related costs).
