Asset Performance 4.0 Award

AP 4.0 Award Sitech

BEMAS, the Belgian Maintenance Association, organises the Asset Performance Awards to highlight achievements in maintenance and asset management. 

In these times of Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, predictive analytics and Big Data will increasingly become part of maintenance teams' toolbox. The most innovative digital transformation, focusing on maintenance, asset reliability and availability, will be awarded. This can be either a technical executive or an organisational improvement.

This year, the Asset Performance 4.0 Award welcomes nine exceptional candidates. These companies will have their representatives present their compelling cases at the Asset Performance Conference, scheduled for Wednesday, October 25, 2023.

History

Since 1998, BEMAS has been organising competitions to award innovations and achievements in the world of Maintenance and Asset Management. Thus, until 2018, there was the annual Maintenance Manager of the Year election, a prestigious title that gave due recognition to the manager concerned and his or her team for their daily commitment to continuous maintenance improvement. In 2019, the name was changed to Technical Team of the Year, shifting the focus to the entire team for their meritorious performance and approach to maintenance and management of technical assets. 

Since 2019, BEMAS also organizes the Asset Performance 4.0 Award, recognizing the increasing intelligence and digitalization of machinery and maintenance. Did you miss the first online edition? The awards show, with keynote by Jeroen De Flander, was livestreamed on YouTube, attracting over 200 viewers. Re-watch the keynote and awards show here. In 2021, Sitech Services won the AP 4.0 award. The Award Show was graced by Peter Hinssen, with a keynote on "The Day after tomorrow in Asset Performance". Watch the recording of that evening.
