What is your expectation of Manufacturing as a Service?

Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) is an innovative model that promises on-demand access to manufacturing capabilities, offering flexibility, reduced overhead costs, and increased efficiency. It's designed to support scalability, customization, and sustainability in manufacturing operations. The concept involves the seamless integration of digital technologies, cloud platforms, and a network of manufacturing resources.

However, the practical implementation of MaaS faces several challenges, regarding technical integration, such as compatibility issues and interoperability between different systems, trustability issues, regulatory compliance, Infrastructure Readiness and others. Despite these challenges, MaaS is gradually being adopted in various industries.
