Operation without surprises: smart energy chains for the most modern train washing station in Europe
Free case study
This case study talks about how CFL, Luxembourg's state railway company, uses several energy chains from igus® together with intelligent sensors from smart plastics to overcome numerous challenges:
- How exactly are failures prevented?
- Which components were to blame for the failure?
- How was the whole project approached and with what tools ?
- And how is it going at the moment?

A smart box! New i.Cee module for predictive maintenance with smart plastics
Cologne, 17th May 2021 - with the i.Cee:local module, igus has now developed a new home for its smart plastics software. The module calculates the remaining service life of the energy chain, cable, linear guide and plain bearing during operation. This allows the service life of the system to be optimised, faults to be detected and rectified at an early stage, and maintenance to be planned in advance. With its multi-connectivity, i.Cee:local can be integrated via the Internet or without IoT connectivity via the local network, depending on customer requirements.

How can I save significantly on maintenance costs with smart plastics?
Smart networking of individual components creates the solid foundation for predictive maintenance concepts. At igus®, we call our predictive maintenance system i.Cee. The central element of this system is the i.Cee software. This software, combined with sensors on the energy chain, the plain bearing or a linear carriage, transform stock 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. Algorithms adjust the service life and service time according to usage. The software we provide plus a few sensors transform standard products available from stock into a smart energy supply system or smart bearing technology in no time.The i.Cee hardware
i.Cee EC.I
Excess clearance between a chain link's bolt and hole is a clear indication of the decreasing service life of an e-chain system®. The EC.I.SU.02 sensor measures this clearance in unambiguous percentage increments and sends them to the i.Cee:plus module. There, the remaining service life is calculated from movement data from the system's control system and, if necessary, a replacement recommendation is made.

... thanks to less downtime with igus i.Cee
In automotive production, the conveyor belt never stops. Collaborating robot arms for assembly and welding work are in continuous use, as are all the components that supply them with energy and data. It is precisely in such environments that intelligent concepts in the style of predictive maintenance make the most sense. Whether a new project for Industry 4.0 or efficiency-driven retrofitting - our smart plastics solutions are available as universal modular systems and can be individually adapted to any system.Predictive maintenance in automotive production
