Distributed Manufacturing at scale requires that production nodes in the network are capable of flexible automation, driven by the manufacturing blueprints published by creators.

Before co-founding DiMaX, Alastair’s team in Siemens invented and launched an edge-based Industry 4.0 engine designed called BOPEX that orchestrates CPG and Discrete manufacturing shop floors and unlocks personalized production.

Gartner, Forrester, IDC, ARC and LNS were introduced to BOPEX and its implications for Distributed Manufacturing. Here are the first two reports from those briefings :

How Capability Matching Helps Manufacturers Optimize Production Processes : David Humphrey, ARC.

Is “Bill of Process Execution” the key to more flexible manufacturing : Niels Erik Andersen, LNS.
