Industrialization follows the same structured process as development and is carried out in 2 phases according to the phase plan. The characteristics of these phases depend on the complexity of the solution to be industrialized. Accordingly, the various departments such as project purchasing, engineering, manufacturing, test engineering and certification are involved and active.

All tasks are seamlessly continued via the modern task and project management tool (Wrike). For pure EMS projects, where the development has already been carried out by the customer, the projects usually start with the industrialization phases.
