"maintenance Switzerland" 2019 in Zurich
The twelfth edition of "maintenance Schweiz" in Zurich will once again inform visitors about the latest solutions and technology trends. In recent years, it has established itself as the leading trade show for industrial maintenance and the most important event for the industry. One of the focus topics is digitalization and the many opportunities it offers for the industry and its employees.

Especially in the industrial sector, which has so far been driven by hardware Maintenance software-based solutions such as "IIoT" (Industrial Internet of Things) are becoming increasingly established. They use radio-controlled sensors and data loggers to monitor entire production lines almost independently of location. This opens up opportunities for increasing efficiency and new service offerings.
At the upcoming maintenance Schweiz in Zurich, around 80 exhibitors and about 20 speakers will present their knowledge about these and other digital developments. One term of the hour is "smart maintenance": drives or motors, gearboxes or entire conveyor systems can be monitored with individual modules to keep an eye on them at all times via tablets or AR systems, for example. This allows operators to create damage scenarios before a costly shutdown occurs.
Experience the Digital Transformation live in Zurich
When the terms digital transformation and the age of the IIoT are mentioned, many still think of diffuse data models in the cloud that are no longer as easy to handle as a torque wrench on an engine block. The fact that new jobs can also be created with modern solutions in future-oriented maintenance will be demonstrated live at maintenance Schweiz in Zurich. Sensors, radio modules or RFID chips on machine components centralize even highly complex systems via intelligent software controls. Maintenance as a profession will be upgraded by this development. Measures can be implemented faster and more directly, which reduces the operator's personnel costs. Overall, digitization can thus contribute to job security, the opening of new business models, simplified processes and alleviate the shortage of skilled workers.
Wide range of topics as well as live demos on occupational safety from Suva
At maintenance Schweiz 2019, visitors will find not only the major areas of industrial maintenance as well as software solutions and their safety, but also all the other information they need in connection with technical installations: be it planning, consulting services , knowledge management, occupational safety, the Signage or occupational health topics.
With regard to the latter, SUVA provides exciting insights into current Campaigns around occupational safety. In addition, associations such as the cooperation partner present fmpro Swiss and the association partner to the SVLW (Swiss Association for Air and Water Hygiene) presents its comprehensive services for members and interested parties.
By the way, parallel to maintenance Switzerland, the "Pumps & Valves" trade fair will open its doors on February 13 & 14, 2019, which is right next door www.pumps-valves.ch and the trade visitors enables an optimal synergy.
