In this communication, we will describe how the team was gathered, how IBA interfaced with suppliers who also had to ramp up the production of critical components, what deliverables were required for the industrialization and how the engineers were trained for the testing and installation. We will also present how IBA will increase its manufacturing capability to cope with the already high demand from the market for this new accelerator. PB - JACoW CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
