Companies like Flender are working consistently on the future of industry. Using AI, the drive specialist automates processes and delivers customized drives at costs and quality that are decisive in global competition. These are solutions that not only benefit customers directly through increased efficiency of their systems and significant cost and material savings. Innovations such as these provide the solutions urgently needed to make the industry more competitive on an international scale.

Artificial intelligence, intelligent software, process automation, sensors - digital transformation is not just the future of industry, it is already a reality at companies like Flender. The products: classic mechanical engineering, cast iron and steel, weighing tons. The interior and the processes behind them: high-tech down to the last detail and highly digital.

CEO Andreas Evertz will explain how the company has implemented customer requirements. In a revolutionary approach, the Flender One gear unit platform has been completely digitized - from customer order to engineering to production - everything runs fully automatically and individually tailored. The key is process automation and AI.

In addition, the AIQ gear unit intelligence offers intelligent predictive maintenance solutions that reduce maintenance costs and increase drive efficiency. Again, the secret: AI combined with sensors. This identifies optimization potential in operation and avoids material waste in the design of new drives.
