New information, communication and production technologies are changing maintenance processes. Furthermore, increasingly complex, highly automated and capital-intensive production facilities as well as growing legal and environmental requirements are currently leading to a change in the importance of maintenance within companies.

In terms of increasing plant availability, safety and reliability as well as ensuring the value of the plant during its life cycle, maintenance is now seen by companies as a potential source of added value and competitiveness.
