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.
Big data meets machine learning
From the Internet of Things, cloud solutions and big data to mobile apps: advancing digitalisation makes it possible to design services and solutions for the off-highway markets in a more individual, consistent and transparent way. Which smart solutions can be used to increase the efficiency, reliability, safety and comfort of mobile machinery?
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.
From powder to component
Additive manufacturing is moving into the focus of mobile machinery manufacturers
Additive manufacturing has become a key concept in the off-highway sector. All major construction, forestry and agricultural machinery manufacturers, as well as their OEM partners, are transitioning from prototype and small series production to fully integrated series production using 3D printing.
Travelling autonomously
Advances in assistance systems in the off-highway sector
Mobile machinery such as tractors, forage harvesters and combine harvesters are becoming increasingly autonomous and equipped with more and more intelligent assistance functions. The focus is shifting to flexible concepts for the entire off-highway sector, ranging from intuitive manual operation to fully autonomous solutions.
