The amount of data generated from the operation and maintenance of industrial plants is constantly increasing. For those responsible, this means implementing new end-to-end concepts for data storage and analysis across the entire plant lifecycle.

But how can this flood of data be used in a targeted manner for the optimization and further development of internal and external processes, and how does "Big Data" become "Smart Data"?

At the specialist forum "Smart Data and Data Analytics in Maintenance and Technology", participants will gain a comprehensive insight into current smart data and data analytics solutions from leading industrial companies such as Audi, BASF, Covestro, Festo, Roche Diagnostics and Weidmüller Interface.

The focus will be on topics such as improving plant availability through intelligent data analysis, ways to build a digital process chain in maintenance and engineering, and implementing "value-driven smart maintenance" using innovative tools such as RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) and predictive maintenance.

In addition, current developments, technology approaches and prerequisites for the implementation of successful data analytics concepts in the context of the smart factory will be highlighted.

The expert forum thus offers an ideal platform for the exchange of ideas on the intelligent use of data along the entire asset life cycle. An intensive workshop on the morning of the first day of the event offers concrete recommendations for intelligent data management as the basis for smart maintenance.

The most important problems are highlighted in twelve practice-oriented expert contributions. Visitors will experience the perspective of other experts and practitioners and hear how they aim to better master the challenges in day-to-day business and strategic alignment.

In the half-day workshop "Intelligent Data Management as the Basis for Smart Maintenance," visitors work with experts to develop new approaches to solutions for this.
