Gearboxes with cynapse® and Smart Services
Unlimited Industry 4.0 connectivity: Gearboxes with cynapse® from WITTENSTEIN alpha independently record operating data within machines as well as plants and communicate it in the IIoT. cynapse® functionality is integrated in the existing installation space and is connected via an IO-Link interface.
In combination with our Smart Services, maximum transparency is created within the machine and the Smart Factory, in which the gearbox and process data is recorded and analyzed.
New to our portfolio is the Smart Service cynapse® Analyze – Health Index: It analyzes the drive train data in real time and assesses the actual load on the gearbox to avoid uncontrolled downtimes.

cynapse®
Product identification
The digital name plate provides relevant data for your component’s unique identification.
Data logger
Data is collected and stored throughout your component’s entire life cycle:
temperature, vibration, mounting position and acceleration
Threshold monitoring
Simple monitoring of sensor values based on predefined or individual threshold values.
Smart Services
Intelligent drive train
cynapse® Connect, cynapse® Monitor and cynapse® Analyze capture, visualize and analyze data in the drive train.
Ready to Use
Easy integration into your infrastructure without any programming.
Perfect interplay
Intelligent combination of WITTENSTEIN expertise and your operating data.
cynapse® integration options
The integration of gearboxes with cynapse® can be categorized into three different integration options:
Internal memory
- Use of internal memory
- Storage of data history (e.g. minimum / maximum values & histograms)
- 8 MB memory capacity manages to store data from 40,000 operating hours
PLC integration
- Integration of cynapse® data and functions into the PLC (e.g. live / process data & IO-Link events)
- Use of cynapse® data for further analyzes
- Data storage in sensor memory still active
IPC / Gateway / Cloud
- Integration of cynapse® data and functions into higher-level systems (e.g. live / process data & IO-Link events)
- Use of Smart Services from WITTENSTEIN or further analyzes
- Data storage in sensor memory still active

More informations
cynapse® Connect
- cynapse® Connect enables integration and routing of data, which is a fundamental prerequisite for condition monitoring.
- The Smart Service can obtain the recorded data from various source systems via IO-Link or OPC UA and use it for digital services from WITTENSTEIN.
- The data can be made available to several target systems (databases, cloud systems, etc.) in structured formats simultaneously and in parallel.
- cynapse® Connect thus greatly simplifies the integration of smart gearboxes into the relevant machine infrastructure.
More informations
cynapse® Monitor
- cynapse® Monitor service provides a control terminal for your cynapse® gearbox, allowing all features to be used.
- You do not have to create a stand-alone visualization solution for the cynapse® data, and your development requirements are massively reduced.
- In addition, the data of the cynapse® Monitor service can be used to monitor threshold values of selected parameters.
- The automatic teach-in function helps you to parameterize cynapse® for your individual machine process.
- With cynapse® Monitor, deviations and critical states in the behavior of gearboxes or in the relevant process can be identified at an early stage.
More informations
cynapse® Analyze
- cynapse® Analyze is an ever-growing portfolio of smart analysis tools. The focus of this service is the detection of anomalies or wear.
- This feature helps to prevent unplanned downtimes as well as the associated outage and repair costs. Machine operators can thus take the necessary action before any damage occurs.
Health Index with utilization radar
The cynapse® Analyze Smart Service with the Health Index analysis tool and the utilization radar assess the status and utilization of your gearboxes.
The data from the drive train is analyzed in real time and the actual load on the components is evaluated. The current status is visualized via a traffic light system. In addition, the utilization radar indicates whether the gearboxes are permanently operated within the permissible load limits – crucial information for service life optimization.
In case of critical deviations, you will receive early notifications with specific ecommendations for action for servicing or replacement of the gearbox. Easy integration into higher-level systems enables seamless implementation. Our smart components recognize their status and automatically report any changes.
Benefit from more than 40 years of expertise in gearbox development – now digitally available in our Smart Services!
Function
- Evaluation of the actual load and indication of the current gearbox status as traffic light signal
- Utilization radar for recognition of overload situations and assessment of the overall utilization
- Early notification of deviations to avoid impending failures
- Easy integration into higher-level systems
Your benefits
- Maximum availability through avoiding uncontrolled downtimes
- Extended service life due to operation within permissible load limits
- Cost savings thanks to targeted maintenance and refurbishment instead of repair
- Innovation potential through new digital business models and services
What our customers say about cynapse®
Gearboxes with cynapse® functionality combined with Smart Services are already used in a wide range of machinery and equipment. We regularly receive positive feedback from our customers regarding their experiences. The user report from “KOCH Pac-Systeme” serves as an excellent example.

How do cynapse® and Smart Services play together?
Gearboxes with the cynapse® feature and IO-Link interface can be directly integrated into your system landscape. You can decide here whether the generated data is only kept in the cynapse’s internal memory or whether you integrate it into higher-level systems, such as a PLC or gateway/IPC.
By integrating the data into higher-level systems, you lay the foundation to use our Smart Services.
For integration into these systems, we rely on common standards such as Docker or integrate natively into the respective target system such as ctrlX from Bosch Rexroth.
