WITTENSTEIN alpha-one with the future – Innovations in the cybertronic product world
“Shaping the world of cybertronic motion” This will be the WITTENSTEIN alpha group’s motto when innovations from the mechatronic and cybertronic product world go on Industry. The latest Smart Services for gearboxes ‘’ ‘’Cynapse® ‘’ functionality, are the example.
The goal: to play a key role in shaping digital transformation in drive technology and machine construction. With this in mind, WITTENSTEIN alpha is now transferring the functionality of selected mechatronic products and systems – with integrated electronics, sensors and firmware – to cybertronic products and systems that can also communicate and interconnect with each other. WITTENSTEIN’s Smart Services, such as Cynapse with the smart Anomaly-Check function, further expand the solution space of these products and systems, providing an easy way to analyze and process machine data.
Digitalization now is so easy. Gearboxes with cynapse® functionality collect operating data independently from machines and plants and communicate it in the IIoT. Smart Services add functionality to the cynapse® feature. The three basic functions are data collection, visualization and analysis. The core know-how that WITTENSTEIN alpha has built up over 40 years of developing low-backlash planetary gearboxes, in combination with operating data, enables a gearbox’s condition to be computed and displayed in the Smart Services.
In the end, it’s the added value for customers that results from cynapse® and the Smart Services that is the decisive factor. Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance help to avoid failures or detect anomalies before it’s too late.
