In the aftersales division, the range of digital services has been expanded. The Kiefel Portal is a central online platform that allows customers to keep an eye on their machine status using the ‘Maintenance Dashboard’ – and plan upcoming maintenance. Also, users are informed about suitable machine upgrades. The portal can also be used to identify and request machine spare parts, machine documentation and interactive online training courses. At the same time, Kiefel will present medical and pharmaceutical innovations. It will show its expanded portfolio of bioprocess bags and machine technol- ogy.

Options include semi-automatic or fully automatic machines, and disposable bags for the storage of stem cells or cell cultures.
