LMS
The Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation (LMS) is part of the University of Patras, Greece. This University was founded in the city of Patras in 1964 and it began functioning in the Academic year 1966-67. The establishment of the University contributed vastly to the decentralization of Academic Education in Greece. In June 2013 the University of Western Greece was incorporated in the University of Patras. The LMS is oriented on research and development in cutting edge scientific and technological fields. LMS is involved in several research projects funded by the EU and European industrial partners. Emphasis is given to the co-operation with the European industry as well as with a number of "hi-tech" firms. LMS has organized several manufacturing related events, contributing for a vast experience in R&D projects.
