What you can experience

Nexeed Industrial Application System connects production and logistics:
Modern production depends on its employees. Everyone has their own view of what is most important for their area of responsibility. Whether it is a detailed view or a meta level – the different perspectives have one thing in common: they depend on a lean, forward-looking and connected process that offers orientationand a common basis for added value. The Nexeed Industrial Application System offers both. Building on the Bosch Production System (BPS), it combines lean management with IIoT – and combines the needs of the individual employee with the overall optimization of production and logistics.
