Maintain instead of repair

What is already possible today in the field of predictive maintenance

Finding the optimum time for maintenance is a major challenge for operators of mobile machinery. How can unplanned downtimes be eliminated and machine availability increased? There are already solutions for condition monitoring in the off-highway sector. But this is just the beginning: companies are working on solutions under the "Digital Twin" banner to take predictive maintenance to a new level.

Automation in the off-highway sector

Smart sensors and data fusion pave the way for autonomous working machines

Shovel excavators, bulldozers, tractors: all-terrain commercial vehicles have to get to work when it's time to get off the road. The evolution of mobile machinery is largely characterised by the rapid advances in sensor technology. Powerful sensor systems that take the strain off the driver and increase efficiency will be presented at the exhibition centre.
