(IBS AG: Höhr-Grenzhausen, Germany) -- IBS AG has successfully implemented its new Tool Assistance System (TAS) at BMW’s production plant in Regensburg, Germany. The TAS is based on the Location Identification System (LIS), which, as the name suggests, is a system for locating and identifying industrial goods.
