mG miniGears Spa, the Italian plant of the hGears Group, promoted two days of experiential training to learn and apply the Lean methodology.

A dedicated team participated in the ‘Gear Factory’ learning laboratory, simulating the path of Lean Transformation of a company to a smart factory and applying the 9 technologies that are the basis of the Industry 4.0: Advanced Manufacturing Solutions, Additive Manufacturing , Augmented Reality, Simulation, Horizontal and Vertical Integration, Industrial Internet, Cloud, Cyber-security and Big Data Analytics.
