Field data shows that industrial gearboxes are typically oversized by 50%. FLENDER ONE solves this issue with an online configuration tool, integrating 125 years of gearbox expertise into algorithms, offering infinite variations and ensuring precise dimensioning. This tool reduces material use while ensuring reliability and provides an instant digital twin and 3D CAD data to customers. Each FLENDER ONE features AIQ, a smart sensor technology for predictive maintenance.

This transformation is powered by the FIRE Suite (Flender Intelligent Rule Engine), a software architecture that digitizes Flender’s processes, seamlessly connecting CPQ, CRM, ERP, and PLM tools. Collaborating with adesso, this framework is available to other manufacturing companies looking to enhance global competitiveness.

FLENDER ONE, the successor to the Flender Standard Gearbox (FSG), incorporates three key innovations: efficient configuration and digital twins, AIQ smart drivetrain, and a comprehensive digital backbone. The innovative configuration tool simplifies the process, offering precise dimensioning and 2D/3D CAD data, reducing engineering time by 25%. The AIQ system uses real-time data to optimize performance and maintenance, reducing downtime by 70% and maintenance costs by 40%. The FIRE Suite connects the entire product lifecycle, streamlining operations from configuration to production.
