Ivaldi aims to streamline the spare parts market for heavy industry by sending digital files, not parts, from place to place in response to customer requirements, so they can be produced on demand. The company says its value proposition in migrating heavy industry to digital is threefold: it’s cheaper to build spare parts in exact quantities than to maintain inventory; it’s more efficient to build as needed, reducing lead times; there’s less carbon emission in building products on-demand, closer to the end customer.
