This company is moving a step closer to plant-component digitalization for the plastics industry with its Smart Components app (photo), which greatly facilitates engineers’ daily work. The new app supports maintenance technicians by automatically identifying components and providing specific information to mobile devices. It provides precise information on specifications, spare-parts lists, commissioning instructions, operation, maintenance and service intervals. Furthermore, users can chat in realtime with an expert through this app, as well as transfer pictures and videos. — Zeppelin Plant Engineering, Friedrichshafen, Germany
