  • Abstract
    With the new information and communication technology the opportunities for innovative and improved products have dramatically increased for the manufacturers of manufacturing and machine control systems. But also the product life cycles for this type of investment goods are reduced in consequence to the innovation speed. With the upcoming agent technologies a radical change compared to incremental innovations like the communication technologies can be expected. Extensive technology and product marketing is required to be successful in the future.
