Service is becoming a decisive success factor in mechanical engineering.

The mechanical and plant engineering sector produces highly complex, durable products. As such, employee expertise is of paramount importance. In the coming years, demographic change will lead to the retirement of many key knowledge holders. This makes it all the more crucial to extract, preserve, and systematically transfer corporate knowledge to the next generation. In our strongly export-oriented industry, there is also a growing need to make company know-how available across all locations - domestically and internationally - without delay and in a consistently high quality. This must be achieved across language barriers and time zones, and is essential for maintaining a competitive service offering. How machinery manufacturers are addressing these challenges and what digital solutions are available to elevate knowledge management to the next level will be the focus of the full-day VDMA Austria event on November 18, 2025, hosted by KNAPP AG in Hart bei Graz.
