Intelligent condition monitoring for machines and equipment - i.Sense
"Trust is good, control is better" ... made easy with i.Sense from igus® - smart plastics
If smart plastics are used for condition monitoring, they immediately report any unexpected operating states, switch off the system, or emit an alarm. Industrial manufacturers use this function to minimise system failures, downtime, and maintenance costs. Do you want to use machines, components, and resources effectively with all the available digital advantages? Would you like to use smart plastics to pursue a practical, cost-effective method of promoting digitalisation in maintenance?

Success stories with i.Sense from smart plastics
Heavy loads, long periods of use, and a wide variety of weatherconditions – all reasons why cranes must fulfil very stringent performance requirements. Ensuring that they do so at all times requires reliable condition monitoring concepts such as our i.Sense with smart plastics.
Condition monitoring with igus®: definition, differences, advantages and disadvantages, and many more explanations
What is condition monitoring? In industry, condition monitoring refers to the regular to continuous recording or monitoring of the condition of machinery, equipment, components, or processes.
What conditions can be monitored with these condition monitoring systems? Various condition monitoring systems can be used to record an extremely wide range of physical machine parameters, from acceleration to motor vibration to tensile forces.
What is the purpose of continuous condition monitoring? It optimises maintenance and servicing schedules, stabilises processes, and increases personnel safety. Machine data is converted into actionable insights that deliver real operational benefits and financial returns.

Integration
If there is an existing or imminent fault, the sensors inform the system and recommend a shutdown. Operation requires no additional external data-processing modules.
