The 15th edition of the Dutch InfraTech 2023 trade fair show was the inauguration of developments planned by companies for 2023. Over the four days, the event was welcomed by nearly 20,844 visitors who had the opportunity to come to the booths of 500 exhibitors. It was a great kick-off promotional event for construction companies in the Netherlands, where they could share innovative solutions in their industry.

The event partially focused on the topic of water management in the Netherlands, where control of the water circuit and good condition of critical infrastructure is essential for the country’s economic well-being. Problems arising from water management in remote locations opened up the topic of field services and personnel supported by mobile devices. These issues were answered by a significant number of software companies attending the event that provide mobile solutions for the construction and field service industries. Novacura has observed with interest the activities of companies in the construction industry presented during the event.

Digitization and technology for the construction industry played a significant role at the event.

Software Theater at the venue

The need for digitalization for industries involved in infrastructure development is an ongoing global trend. Companies in the field services construction industry focus on getting more remote control over their operations. A key goal for many companies is to reduce the manual work required for field personnel to complete specific tasks through mobility, improving task control and reporting. By minimizing data discrepancies through the use of mobile applications, companies are able to prepare more accurate planning and forecasting to reduce operational costs continuously.

A high number of companies providing professional industrial software with mobile solutions was noticeable at the event. These were presented in the Software Theater, a dedicated area at the fair located in the innovation section. Listening to the speakers in the Software Theater and looking closely at certain developments in the construction and water management industry, it is clear that there is a growing demand for mobile solutions in field services and construction sites.

In the Software Theater, companies were able to share software business solutions and technologies dedicated to the construction industry.

Novacura has already implemented these types of solutions in many companies around the world in the construction and field service industries. Our packages of customizable mobile applications, such as Worksite Field Reporting and Mobile Work Order, are highly recognized by companies in the US and Europe.
