Transportation
For decades, the transportation industry has relied on suppliers to provide maintenance spare parts to keep vehicles in operation. As time goes by, parts become obsolete and are no longer supported by the supplier. With a digital inventory and additive manufacturing, railway and bus companies can store their maintenance spare parts digitally, and acquire them on-demand, ultimately reducing lead time and costs, as well as avoiding downtime.

Bus
Bus stations can acquire parts and reduce warehousing costs with a digital distribution model.
