CIM is based on core competences within mechanics, electronics, embedded systems, control systems and mathematical modelling. We apply these competences within a series of application fields, from robotics via heating and cooling systems to autonomously moving vehicles.
CIM contribute to fulfil these five sustainable development goals of UN’s 17 global goals.
