Mobile maintenance assistants for thermal processing plants

To this day, the maintenance of heat treatment plants is characterized mostly by manual work; very few digital tools exist for information display, plant support, data acquisition, or data collection. This means that, in this field, only very few of the possible advantages of digitization are being used. Mobile maintenance assistants are thus a real opportunity to support maintenance departments in their daily work. They also increase the potential for cost savings due to their better efficiency and the fact that they reduce down times. This article provides a general overview of the status quo. Moreover, #jakob\einfach.sicher (#jakob\safe.sound.), a novel mobile assistance system for thermal processing plants is presented.
