remberg Strengthens European Industry With AI-Driven Maintenance Platform

Unexpected equipment failures cost European manufacturers billions every year. remberg wants to change that. The company offers an AI-based, mobile-first maintenance platform designed to predict breakdowns, streamline repairs, and keep critical systems running.

Founded in 2018 by David Hahn, Julian Borg, Cecil Wöbker, and Hagen Schmidtchen, remberg began as a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich and the Center for Digital Technology and Management. It now supports over 150 customers and manages more than 1 million industrial assets across Europe.

The company recently raised €15 million in a Series A+ funding round led by investors focused on enterprise software. This brought its total funding to €28 million, which it plans to use to strengthen its AI offerings and expand its reach across the continent.

Unlike traditional systems, remberg is built with mobile in mind. It runs on smartphones and tablets and works even without an internet connection. Maintenance teams scan a QR code on the machine, and the platform’s AI assistant provides instant troubleshooting based on historical data and previous issues. It walks the technician through the problem, step by step, without requiring them to leave the factory floor.

remberg includes its Industrial Copilot, a tool that combines human-readable instructions with smart recommendations based on data. For many companies, this replaces outdated maintenance logs or clunky legacy software with something far more intuitive and efficient.

David says remberg isn’t just about better software. It’s about making sure Europe doesn’t fall behind when it comes to industrial resilience. “We can’t afford to hand over this software category to the U.S., especially when it involves the backbone of our economy: manufacturing, industrial assets, and sensitive data.”

Targeted Growth and a Clear Focus

From the beginning, remberg has avoided overextension. It started by focusing on the DACH region, working closely with machine builders and mid-sized manufacturers. This tight geographic and sector focus allowed the company to deeply understand the operational pain points of its customers and build trust from the ground up.

This methodical approach paid off. Once the company proved its model, it began expanding into adjacent sectors and larger enterprises. Customers now include a mix of manufacturers, service providers, and industrial groups. The platform is used across industries including logistics, mechanical engineering, and utilities.

Impact Beyond the Factory Floor

Maintenance delays are more than just operational setbacks. They affect revenue, job security, and overall performance. remberg’s platform helps reduce unplanned downtime and improves asset availability. It also supports better documentation, compliance readiness, and clearer visibility for managers.

Maintenance teams using remberg report smoother workflows, faster fault diagnosis, and better recordkeeping. Managers have access to dashboards showing all open and completed tasks, scheduled service intervals, and machine status. Compliance teams can instantly generate reports for audits without sorting through paper logs or fragmented systems.

Accessible for the Entire Team

Ease of use is central to remberg’s product design. Technicians can get started with minimal training. The interface is built for clarity, speed, and mobility. Managers can track performance metrics from their phone. Executives can see the big picture without navigating overly technical systems.

David believes this simplicity is what sets remberg apart. “Our goal is to make maintenance smarter without making it harder,” he says. That mindset shows in the product’s structure—modular, lightweight, and designed to adapt to different industrial environments.

Funding the Next Phase

With fresh capital, remberg is investing in product development, AI training, and international expansion. One major focus is predictive maintenance. The company is developing models that not only recognize failure patterns but also alert teams before issues arise. This helps prevent costly downtime and extends the life of critical equipment.

It also plans to expand support for new features like spare parts tracking, lifecycle planning, and third-party integrations. These additions will further embed remberg into the daily operations of its customers and make it more than just a maintenance tool.

The Bigger Picture

David doesn’t talk about disruption. He talks about repair. About bringing back reliability and control where it had slipped away. remberg is not aiming to replace workers or tear down systems. It exists to give technicians, managers, and companies the right tools to do their work better.

He sees maintenance as infrastructure—essential but often overlooked. That view has guided the company’s slow but deliberate climb from academic project to a serious industrial partner.

Commitment to Europe’s Industrial Backbone

As manufacturing grows more digitized, companies face increasing pressure to modernize without compromising security, data sovereignty, or operational continuity. remberg is one of the few industrial SaaS companies building software in Europe, for European industries, with European standards in mind.

That local-first mindset isn’t just branding. It affects how the product handles data, supports languages, and adapts to different regulatory environments. In critical industries, where security and trust are paramount, that approach gives remberg an edge.

What’s Ahead

remberg is continuing to build out its AI assistant, focusing on making it more proactive and more helpful across a range of tasks. It’s also refining its user interface based on feedback from maintenance teams and operational leads.

The company is hiring across product, engineering, and customer success roles, with a focus on professionals who understand both software and manufacturing. The aim is to build a durable team that understands how things work—not just how to code them.

A Practical Mission, Not Just a Product

What makes remberg stand out isn’t flash or hype. It’s focus. The company exists to make maintenance easier, smarter, and more reliable. It doesn’t claim to change the world. But for the factories and teams it serves, it changes enough.

Many industrial companies still rely on spreadsheets and paper checklists. remberg offers a better way. One that’s intuitive, flexible, and ready for the realities of factory floors—not just boardroom dashboards.

And that’s what David and his team are building. Not just software, but something steady. Something that lasts.
