Maintastic GMBH

Their core work

Maintastic is an Aachen-based technology SME specializing in industrial maintenance solutions — from predictive maintenance platforms to augmented reality-based remote service tools for B2B environments. Their core product, oculavis SHARE, is a remote service platform that uses AR to enable technicians and service teams to collaborate across distances. They bridge the gap between factory-floor maintenance needs and digital technologies like 5G connectivity, self-configuring maintenance systems, and plug-and-play service deployment.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Maintastic's early H2020 involvement (2014-2017) centered on participating in manufacturing and transport projects focused on predictive maintenance — joining consortia like SERENA and PROPHESY to develop self-configuring maintenance platforms. A significant pivot came in 2019 when they stepped into the coordinator role for oculavis SHARE, scaling their own AR remote service product with €2.5M in SME Instrument funding. Their most recent project (5G-INDUCE, 2021) shows a move toward 5G-enabled industrial applications, signaling they are positioning their maintenance and AR tools for next-generation connected factory environments.

Maintastic is evolving from a maintenance software participant into a product company building 5G-ready AR service platforms for connected factories.

How they like to work

Maintastic primarily operates as a participant in larger consortia (4 of 5 projects), contributing specialized maintenance and service platform expertise to multi-partner initiatives. However, their successful coordination of oculavis SHARE — an SME Instrument Phase 2 grant — demonstrates they can lead when it involves scaling their own product. With 47 unique partners across 14 countries, they maintain a wide European network for an SME of their size, suggesting they are well-connected and comfortable working in diverse, international teams.

Maintastic has collaborated with 47 unique partners across 14 countries, an unusually broad network for a technology SME. Their partnerships span manufacturing, transport, and digital sectors, centered in Western and Central Europe with Aachen as their base.

What sets them apart

Maintastic combines deep predictive maintenance expertise with their own commercial AR remote service product (oculavis SHARE), making them both a technology contributor and a product-driven company — a rare combination in H2020 SMEs. Their progression from maintenance participant to AR product coordinator to 5G industrial applications gives them practical experience across the full Industry 4.0 service stack. For consortium builders, they offer a partner who can bring a proven, market-ready platform rather than just research capabilities.

Highlights from their portfolio

• oculavis SHARE
  Their flagship project as coordinator with €2.5M SME Instrument Phase 2 funding — scaling an AR-based remote service platform from prototype to market.
• 5G-INDUCE
  Most recent project (2021-2024) positioning their industrial service tools within 5G experimentation infrastructure — signals their forward direction.
• PROPHESY
  Early-stage involvement in self-configuring predictive maintenance platforms that likely shaped the technical foundation for their later product development.
