NJAMI-Industry Partnership (Download here)

NJAMI engages industry partners, in particular small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs), through three different mechanisms to adapt to the latest innovative manufacturing technologies and best practices.

Seize the Opportunity: Join the NJAMI community

Membership in the NJAMI community will provide partners with access to the latest research results and sophisticated technology infrastructures. Community membership enables participants to conduct joint and individual research projects with or without the involvement of other partners.

Take Part: Initiate new projects with NJAMI fellow community members

Partners are free to use the results of the NJAMI research and development projects either in conjunction with other partners or exclusively for their own company. Partners can test their own manufacturing solutions in the existing NJAMI pilot testbeds, effectively expanding the performance range of the test environment. It is also possible to create additional testbeds that are customized to their specific needs and requirements.

Take Action: Start partners’ corporate projects

NJAMI developments may also be individually realized and implemented in a partner’s company. Partners are free to base any such project on insights and developments of the NJAMI that can be customized – by us and other technology providers from the community – to the specific needs and requirements of their business.
