System integration via cloud-to-cloud communication

The partnership between Schaeffler and ZF Friedrichshafen AG has led to a 4.0 solution for the wind power sector. The expert models that were developed by the two partners deliver more precise analyses and predictions of the gearbox’s condition based on the actual loads that occur during operation of the wind turbine. The “LifetimeAnalyzer” digital service can, for example, calculate the nominal remaining useful life.
