Smart Maintenance

Smart Maintenance Community

Production plants are becoming increasingly complex and networked and require comprehensive IT know-how for operation and maintenance. Digitization is the criterion that distinguishes successful companies from less successful ones. The sustainable safeguarding of value creation through production and investment in new production sites with modern facilities in Europe will depend on how we succeed in setting up our production digitally.

No company can master this task alone. This requires a wide range of skills and cross-company cooperation with perfectly fitting business models.

The Smart Maintenance Community pursues the goal of providing comprehensive support to companies in securing and expanding their production sites by closely networking application-oriented research and rapid, industrial deployment. Smart Maintenance is the enabler that drives and ensures the necessary digital transformation processes.
