InstandX

Your innovative network for the future of smart maintenance

Clever processes for maximum production efficiency

Next-generation smart maintenance is more than just keeping machines running. Thanks to digital technologies, production is intelligently networked and enables optimal production efficiency . Modern maintenance is the driving force in comprehensive asset management that ensures maximum production performance and flexibility. And thus turns a cost driver into a profit center!

Optimal production processes thought holistically

The maintenance of production components plays a crucial role in cost and resource optimization. Unplanned downtime is expensive. Maximum system availability, efficient use of resources and optimized energy consumption are of crucial importance in global competition . This requires a holistic view of all production areas.

Our network offer

We therefore offer an interdisciplinary platform that covers all aspects of maintenance and broadens horizons. We promote the exchange of experts from various disciplines in order to take the important topic of maintenance out of its niche and make it accessible to a broader public. Enter the world of smart maintenance with InstandX !



The top topics

Automation

Process automation has a significant impact on the maintenance of plants and equipment. It enables increased efficiency, reduced downtime and improved process control. The combination of automation, robotics and maintenance can help increase efficiency, reduce operating costs and improve asset reliability. Examples of this include predictive maintenance, automated inspections using robots and drones, self-monitoring systems and automatic maintenance triggering.

Measurement and sensor technology

Measurement and sensor technology plays a crucial role in the maintenance of systems, machines and devices. It enables the monitoring of operating parameters, the early detection of deviations and wear and the optimization of maintenance processes. The integration of measurement and sensor technology into maintenance requires good planning and a clear strategy to achieve the maximum benefits.

Eco-efficiency

Modern asset management is a key to promoting eco-efficiency. Intelligent maintenance as part of asset management can help to optimize resource consumption and recycling in systems, machines and buildings. Unnecessary environmental pollution, for example due to unplanned plant shutdowns, is avoided and the CO2 footprint is reduced. Increasing social and economic responsibility as well as stricter official regulations are increasingly motivating companies to develop and implement strategies that increase both system availability and eco-efficiency. Sustainable maintenance not only contributes to environmental protection, but can also reduce costs. However, it requires conscious planning and a holistic approach that balances environmental aspects with economic and social factors.

IoT + software solutions

IoT and software solutions have revolutionized the maintenance industry by offering new ways to monitor, analyze and optimize systems, machines and buildings. These include CMMS solutions (Computerized Maintenance Management System), condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and predictive maintenance, data analysis and simulation, remote monitoring and maintenance, mobile maintenance and field management solutions. Generative AI is also being used more and more frequently in connection with these solutions. The right solutions can make a significant contribution to increasing efficiency, reducing costs and improving system availability.

Company profiles of the providers

Maintenance Services

In addition to industrial service providers who take on all or part of maintenance on behalf of customers, remote maintenance or remote services are also becoming increasingly important. For example, the system manufacturer's service technician works with the local maintenance person using extended reality solutions such as data glasses, without being on site himself. Plant and component providers also often expand their offerings with digital after sales services in the area of ​​maintenance and repair. This extends to new business models and pay-per-use concepts.

logistics

Logistics, supply chain management and maintenance are closely related areas that play a crucial role in many industries. Efficient logistics are of great importance for successful maintenance, especially when it comes to spare parts management. Close coordination and communication between logistics and maintenance teams is crucial to exploit synergies, reduce costs and maximize asset availability. Digital transformation and the use of technologies such as IoT can further improve this collaboration.

Artificial Intelligence & Extended Reality

The digital transformation is far from over! Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR), i.e. virtual, augmented and mixed reality (VR/AR/MR), are only in the starting blocks. Generative artificial intelligence in maintenance can already create more accurate predictions and adaptive maintenance plans that go beyond traditional systems. Mixed reality solutions enable efficient remote maintenance via data glasses or cell phones and make it easier to train new employees. And applications such as the virtual simulation of entire factories in the metaverse will be the next generation of the digital twin.
