For many maintenance and asset management teams, digitalisation, automation and AI offer clear opportunities, but also raise difficult questions. The challenge is often not the lack of technology, but knowing where to start, how to set priorities, and how to ensure that digital transformation creates tangible value for your department. 

In today’s industrial landscape, asset owners are confronted with a growing set of challenges that directly impact the performance and competitiveness of your assets. Aging brownfield installations require increasing maintenance efforts and costs, while rising labour and energy expenses continue to pressure your operational budgets. At the same time, administrative complexity and regulatory requirements add non-productive overhead. You also face a structural shortage of skilled workers, both on the shop floor and in engineering roles, making it increasingly difficult to maintain efficiency and continuity.

With Steven Luys, CEO of EXAIL Robotics Belgium in Ostend

To mark Global Maintenance Day, BEMAS invites you to an exclusive company tour and inspirational session at EXAIL Robotics Belgium, a fast-growing high-tech company in Ostend that is an international leader in autonomous maritime systems for defence and safety-critical applications. Host EXAIL develops and manufactures Autonomous Unmanned Systems (AUS) that are deployed worldwide for tasks including mine countermeasures at sea, maritime surveillance and inspection. The solutions combine advanced robotics, sensor technology, navigation, data fusion and software into fully autonomous systems that operate in complex and demanding environments. During this event, you will not only gain insight into the technology and applications, but we will also delve deeper into the service and maintenance challenges of such autonomous systems.
