On February 21 and 22, 2024, the maintenance industry and professionals from all relevant branches of industry will once again meet at the Maintenance trade fair in Dortmund. Conrad took part for the first time last year. A complete success, as Rüdiger Kühnle, Senior Director Sales & Global Key Account German at Conrad Electronic, reports: "As a procurement platform for technical requirements, Conrad offers a comprehensive product portfolio and customer-centric services from a single source to make the business and projects of MRO professionals a success. This is exactly how we were able to score points and make many valuable contacts." That's why Conrad will be there again this year. In hall 4 at stand C33, the main focus will be on innovative solutions in the field of measurement technology as well as on the topics of tools, tool storage and work lights - including individual product presentations.

Measuring and testing technology from Voltcraft

What requirements does your own business place on measurement technology and which devices are best suited to meet typical challenges in the operational environment? This is exactly what the face-to-face consultation with the Conrad measurement technology professionals is all about: The consultation starts with a personal needs assessment based on the customer's technical specifications, after which the customer can test the equipment. Among the products on show at the Conrad stand: the VC891 handheld multimeter as the top model in Voltcraft's new VC800 series, the EMZ-1000 earthing clamp for contactless testing of earthing resistance in electrical systems and the BS-702SE+IP dual endoscope with two cameras (front and side), which offers the best conditions for illuminating images during maintenance work with a five-meter-long camera probe with a 70° field of view.

Professional tools and accessories from Toolcraft

The seven full extension drawers of the Toolcraft workshop trolley have a maximum load capacity of 45 kg each and run on ball-bearing guide rails. A drawer lock provides a mutual pull-out stop and thus prevents the trolley, which is made of sturdy sheet steel, from accidentally tipping over. Trade fair visitors can also see the benefits of the crimping system solution with 2 pliers and 42 crimp inserts for themselves on site. The three-piece double ratchet ring wrench set from Toolcraft also makes work easier by replacing a complete set of wrenches from 8 to 19 mm width across flats and instead providing twelve sizes with just three wrenches.

Modern procurement, customized services

The Conrad team attaches great importance to offering trade fair visitors the opportunity to subject the tools and measuring devices to an individual practical test. But as a solution provider, Conrad also supports process optimization. At Maintenance in Dortmund, therefore, not only products but also modern digital procurement solutions will be presented that make purchasing fit for the future: "We also have interesting browser-based e-procurement solutions in our portfolio for smaller and medium-sized companies without their own ERP system, so that they too can connect electronically to the Conrad Sourcing Platform in no time at all," explains Rüdiger Kühnle. With the Conrad Smart Procure tool, for example, purchasing managers can view the individual conditions and live stocks of the desired products in the system and place their orders directly there.
