Manufacturing as a Service

Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) refers to the use of networked manufacturing infrastructures for producing goods on-demand. The customer initiates the production of goods by the manufacturing companies through MaaS, and the order assignment is fully automated. This allows the customer to avoid spending significant amounts of time searching for suitable suppliers with the right skills and capacities. Instead, they can use an efficient algorithm that selects the best possible supplier based on certain factors. MaaS also benefits suppliers by allowing them to focus on their core manufacturing business while handing over the administrative work of customer acquisition and order processing to MaaS.
