POSTED 11/16/2020
Where once technicians used a clipboard and a pen, remote monitors, smartphones, and tablets with the appropriate applications, software solutions, and real-time information are now the tools of choice.
On November 18, 2020, the events at the second Pepperl+Fuchs Online Summit will focus on the topic of "Digitalization in Service and Maintenance". Experts from Pepperl+Fuchs, ecom, and a variety of other partner companies will highlight a number of exciting applications from the process industry and will provide insight into the future of smart maintenance. Keynotes, presentations, and panel discussions will analyze the following topics in more detail:

- Remote assistance and predictive maintenance have become popular buzzwords in the age of Industry 4.0. What do these two concepts encompass and what challenges do businesses face during their implementation?
