"Pure" world premiere: predictive maintenance recommendations in the cleanroom
i.Cee EC.S - the new ultrasonic sensor on the e-skin® flat allows real-time condition-based information and maintenance recommendations for the best overall equipment effectiveness in the cleanroom.
In this cleanroom highlight, the smart ultrasonic sensor technology is used to continuously monitor the current sag in the e-skin® flat system. The SKF.S e-skin® flat with support chain has a defined bend radius, allowing unsupported lengths in cleanrooms. As soon as a critical condition is detected in the energy supply system, predictive maintenance recommendations are issued.
The connected i.Cee module also allows numerous interfaces to comprehensive monitoring/IoT networks to make the cleanroom status information available to the user/system manager in real time. All information is aggregated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.

The data for GMP and FED STD 209E only serve as a rough comparison and do not take other factors such as bacterial contamination into account. Please contact us to find the right configuration for your project.
energy chains
Energy chains in a cleanroom environment have to be especially abrasion-resistant as airborne particles above the strict limits specified in standards are released and can contaminate the cleanroom.
e-chains for cleanroom applications
Cables and hoses
Pneumatic hoses and various cables with IPA ISO class 1 and 2 - also available ready for connection, suitable for Bosch Rexroth, Festo, Parker, Siemens and many other manufacturers.
Flexible cables for cleanrooms
linear guides
In our product range of dry-operating linear guide systems, we offer four models that are certified for use in ISO class 6 to 3 cleanrooms.

Smart machine data acquisition forms the basis for predictive maintenance concepts
Since the i.Sense Wonderbox is part of the smart plastics i.Sense condition monitoring system, all of its data can also be evaluated in the i.Cee control cabinet module. These data can then be used to digitally control the system's alarm and escalation management.
The i.Cee module can be integrated into predictive maintenance concepts in a number of ways, from preventive service management, which schedules regular maintenance depending on use, to location-independent fault management, which immediately reports any unforeseen change via various mobile channels. All information is collated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.
