    IneltecSwiss electrical industry celebrates a powerful comeback

    After a seven-year hiatus, ineltec opens its doors on 11 and 12 September and offers the Swiss electrical industry a central meeting place. Halls 1 and 2 of Messe Zürich are expecting 162 exhibitors and an expert audience who will be able to find out about the latest developments and trends on 11,000 square metres of exhibition space.

    Noëlle Marti, the new director of the electrical trade fair, is delighted with the response: “All participants can look forward to full halls at Messe Zürich. We are overwhelmed by all the positive feedback and the rush for tickets.” Ineltec 2024 is more than just a trade fair – it offers a platform for knowledge transfer, networking and innovative technologies.

    Focus on innovation and knowledge transfer
    The realignment of ineltec aims to concentrate on the essentials. Innovation, knowledge transfer and the direct exchange between people and technologies. In contrast to previous years, oversized stand areas have been deliberately avoided in order to make the event more compact and focussed. The motto “Back to the roots, but with a modern twist” aptly describes the spirit of this year’s trade fair.

    Lectures, innovations and workshops will take centre stage from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days of the trade fair. The Speakers Corner will be the centre of professional exchange. After the trade fair closes, after-work events invite participants to network in a relaxed atmosphere and reflect on the day’s events.

    In-depth events for professionals
    The eleven events organised by industry associations and exhibitors offer detailed insights into current topics in the electrical industry. Whether new planning tools, electrical systems, artificial intelligence or electromobility – professionals can look forward to a wide range of innovations and trends that they can integrate directly into their day-to-day work.

    Special highlight
    At the Startup Pitch on Wednesday afternoon, innovative young companies will meet the professional audience. The Startup Academy Switzerland supports the companies through mentoring and promotes dialogue between creative minds and experienced industry experts.

    Promoting young talent at the centre of ineltec
    Young talent is also the focus of ineltec. Under the auspices of EIT.swiss, guided tours for young talent are organised, allowing students to interact with exhibitors in a fun way and gain insights into the latest technologies. This initiative enables young talents to make their first valuable connections for their professional future and lay the foundations for a career in the electrical industry.

    Ineltec offers valuable information and guidance not only to experienced professionals, but also to those just starting out in their careers. On the ineltec.ch website, all visitors will find specific information on 14 current topics in the electrical industry, new products, company profiles and events on offer.

    SVIT AWARD winner from three property management companies is chosen

    Certimo employees can now digitally process the work steps from the tendering of the rental properties and the selection of tenants to the signing of the contract and deposit payments. The company saves a lot of time and can use it for other tasks and projects that used to be neglected in day-to-day business. Another benefit of digital filing and processes is the flexibility of the place of work. In this way, specialists can be recruited from a larger catchment area.

    Behind the success is not simply a proptech solution, but the willingness to try digital products, to actively support the further development of a promising solution with technical and specialist knowledge, and to make the introduction of new processes and functions in the company as easy and convenient as possible . Facilitations were demonstrated for step-by-step onboarding and new procedures were documented in concise checklists. A resource-saving rollout was made possible with the decision to completely digitize new business and the portfolio only in the event of changes. Building on the successes, the next digitization steps were planned.

    Roche shows how Big Data enables smart management of business premises. The jury appreciates in particular that the Roche team does not simply focus on what is technically feasible. The insight that the added value is generated by end users and that technical innovations require a use case sharpens the focus on what is important, especially in complex digitization projects: the company’s success.

    As part of the Smart Building Initiative, Roche collects building and facility data that supports employees and service providers in their work and makes the company more attractive, efficient and sustainable. In order to prepare relevant information and decision-making bases for buildings with different degrees of automation, the Digital & Site Engineering team uses an open IoT (Internet of Things) platform and use cases that are developed with users.

    In order to make condominium mandates more attractive, the company H&B Real Estate AG has adopted a proptech solution with which condominium owners’ meetings and the upstream and downstream processes can be digitized. The condominium owners can view documents independently and around the clock. Farmers and collect agenda items throughout the year, which are then simply compiled and distributed. Votes can be easily counted and decisions can be quickly logged. A ticketing system simplifies communication, in addition to owners, tenants can also be informed directly. H&B Real Estate AG entered into an innovation partnership with the developers in 2020 so that the software solution appropriately takes management needs into account. The cooperation ensured that management processes were mapped correctly and problematic media and system breaks were eliminated. Thanks to more efficient processes, the company was able to acquire additional mandates, thanks to better structuring of the meetings, larger meetings require fewer specialized staff, thanks to the task and order system, inquiries can be dealt with more quickly, the management of condominiums is not only more efficient overall, but also more transparent become.
