- History:
- Globeman21 in varying forms was part of the global RTD program
Intelligent Manufacturing Systems (IMS)
program from the very beginning.
- Globeman21 was one of 6 IMS "test cases" in Mar93-Feb94,
continued in "transition stage" in 1995-96 and
became part of "full scale" IMS in Mar96-Mar99.
- The EU proposal was submitted to EC in Jun97.
