IMECC - Innovative Manufacturing Engineering Systems Competence Centre - was founded in 2009 and its activities are co-financed by European Union Regional Development Fund and Enterprise Estonia (EAS) (project EU30006). High Level Objective of IMECC is to improve the competitiveness of Estonian engineering industry and to develop cultural, ethical, and social values based on increasing integrated industrial use of new technologies of optimal product life-cycle management (PLM) and e- Manufacturing, emerging manufacturing technologies and process automation techniques, and new forms of self-organizing systems with online monitoring and diagnostics in order to gain competitive advantages and assure economic success in a global economy, to rise the effective use of knowledge in product engineering and manufacturing planning for small series production in distributed and networked organizations of Estonian engineering industry.
