Features and benefits

Only the intelligent networking of the individual components creates the right basis for predictive maintenance concepts. The central element of this system is the i.Cee software. This software, in conjunction with sensors on the energy chain, transforms our products into smart products.

This upgrade enables you to determine the maximum service life of your igus product, and the i.Cee system specifies the perfect time for servicing.

Continuous pull/push force monitoring with i.Sense EC.P sensors
Energy chain monitoring for breakage (i.Sense EC.B)
Evaluation of the sensor data in the module
Lightning-fast information to the PLC when there are unusual events
Service life calculation based on actual usage (determined with wear sensors)
Maintenance management
SMS - Alerting

Industry 4.0: real-world examples

Customer applications with smart plastics

Linear robots

Integration of smart plastics sensors into the energy supply system ensures that up-to-date condition data are supplied to the customer's condition monitoring system at all times.
