The membership programme from the support association "Swiss Smart Factory" (FV-SSF) is meeting with lively interest and the SSF has already attracted over 60 members from industry and research. With membership, we bring together relevant players - large companies, SMEs, start-ups and research partners - in order to jointly shape the establishment, further development and operation of a state-of-the-art Industrie 4.0 demo factory with lighthouse character for the Swiss workplace.
