Main Tasks in MAS4AI

In the MAS4AI project, VDL Industrial Modules will be in charge of applying a demonstrator that will involve a multistage production process, which currently is performed in several production stations. Complex production techniques, many human interactions and a highly active warehouse ensure a perfect playing field.
