—> How can we make the most of the opportunities presented by investments in new systems or “just” conversions or retrofits?

Andreas Illich, Managing Director and former project manager of the Greenfield project, which was built in 2022 / 2023 and is now in full operation, will present his learnings and especially the role of maintenance and will be happy to discuss them with you.

Together with other experts and many “stakeholders” who are currently implementing or planning major investments themselves, we want to address this very important topic and share experiences:

What are the opportunities of such projects? What are the risks, because they usually have to be carried out alongside day-to-day business? What role(s) does maintenance play in this and how can it be successfully realized? What opportunities do digitalization and AI offer in this regard? … and many more questions

🗓 Date: Friday, 13.12.2024 ⏰ Time: 09:30 - 10:30 am 📍 Location: Live from Austria, company Swarco Road Marking Systems
