Advanced Manufacturing technologies (AMTs) are broad technological bundles which support the design and fabrication of products, a higher level of connectivity, and the optimised planning of resources. Overall, they improve products or processes that drive innovation in manufacturing. It covers two types of technologies: process technologies to produce other advanced technologies or manufactured products, and process technologies based on Robotics, automation technology or computer-integrated manufacturing that support the manufacturing processes. For the former, such process technology typically relates to production apparatus, equipment and procedures for the manufacture of specific materials, components, or final products. For the latter, process technology includes measuring, control and testing devices for machines, machine tools and various areas of automated or IT-based manufacturing technology.
