The EFNMS, BEMAS, Reliabilityweb.com and EASA are delighted to announce the Euromaintenance 4.0 conference in Antwerp, Belgium in September 2018.

Asset owners are investing in the transition from classic maintenance towards maintenance 4.0. More than ever engineers, maintenance managers and reliability leaders are looking into the opportunities offered by the new technologies in the field of predictive and prescriptive maintenance currently reaching the market.

On the verge of the 4th industrial revolution, IoT and predictive analytics are bringing unseen possibilities in maintenance, reliability and condition monitoring. That is why the Euromaintenance 4.0 conference will focus on these disruptive technologies. Of course the fundamentals and best practices in the field of maintenance, reliability, condition monitoring and asset management will also be programmed.

We are currently calling for industrial practioners, subject experts and academics to submit a proposal to give a presentation. Euromaintenance 4.0 is a unique opportunity to share your insights with an audience of maintenance, reliability and asset management leaders, engineers and operational managers working in asset intensive industries in Europe and the rest of the world.

Accepted speakers will be able to attend the Euromaintenance 4.0 conference and exhibition for free and get new inspiration from their peers. All proposals will be evaluated by a program committee. For the acedemic community there is a possibility for publication in a scientific magazine on maintenance & reliability.
