In the field of digitalization and Industry 4.0, Schaeffler supplies its customers with intelligent, connected systems and components for different applications, whether in high-tech aerospace. production machinery, or railway vehicles. Predictive machine monitoring receives special attention to detect initial deviations from regular operation at an early stage, reduce unplanned plant downtime and maximize plant ROI.
Schaeffler’s Industrial Division is traditionally a rolling bearings manufacturer, being the inventor of cage-guided needle roller bearings and is currently one of the largest rolling bearings manufacturers in the world. Rolling bearings are found in virtually every mechanical rotating part or equipment, be it motors, pumps, compressors, gearboxes, or conveyors.
Schaeffler has always excelled in mechatronic solutions, so when digitalization accelerated and Industry 4.0 became a trending topic, we were ready to leverage our legacy and technology know-how to bundle solutions to our customers, while innovating in-house as well as with system integration partners to develop new products and solutions. In the past 5 years, we have actively rolled out condition-monitoring solutions and automatic grease lubricators, working closely with our partners.
