Together, the partners developed a demonstrator for the intelligent monitoring of rotating saw blades during operation: the &#8220;Smart Flange&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The smart flange integrates sensors for tool identification and condition monitoring directly into the tool holder. This allows large amounts of raw data to be recorded, processed locally and transmitted wirelessly &#8211; even under extreme operating conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
