Recognise the condition of the chain at a glance

With the new status indicator, you can read off the condition of your chain using simple technology without cables. The colour indicator changes from green to yellow to red. This allows you to quickly and efficiently recognise at a glance whether there is a need for action.

Using a mechanical status indicator, the new condition sensor can quickly provide information about the wear condition of the chain via coloured indicators. Abrasion exposes wear additives in the chain links and provides information on the condition of the gliding e-chain. With a green sensor, everything is in the green range. The colour changes to yellow with increasing abrasion. If the indicator is red, the chain should be checked and replaced if necessary. The decreasing distance between the crossbars also indicates the state of wear.

The superwise service - simply explained

superwise Basic

All system data is displayed and a service life forecast is created based on your information and the familiar algorithms of the proven online service life calculator. Just in time before the end of the safe operating time of the igus® e-chain system®, the igus® sales department will make you an offer to replace the system in good time!

superwise silver

The condition monitoring components prevent total failures due to chain breakage, blockages or cable damage. In the event of a shutdown, you are informed immediately by e-mail or SMS. The igus sales department is also informed so that a delivery can be arranged if necessary. The messages stored in the portal can be analysed later for diagnostic purposes. Optionally, a movement profile can be recorded, enabling a more precise service life calculation or service planning.

superwise gold

Sensors installed in your system determine the actual wear of the e-chains or cables. This status information is available to you via the i.Cee portal and enables long-term maintenance and retrofit planning. i.Cee hardware sensor data can be saved for later analyses. The i.Cee systems are designed to recognise unusual operating conditions at an early stage and generate preventive information.

Avoid downtime, extend service life

i.Cee gives CFL a system service life estimate, taking into account condition monitoring data such as temperature, travel speed, and distance travelled and provides maintenance and inspection instructions.

Customer applications worldwide

In international automotive production, the global crane industry or regional wastewater plants: i.Sense EC.P systems are successfully used wherever maintenance costs are saved and machine downtimes prevented:

To the application overview

You alone decide on the route & access of the data

Data transfer within your local company network (i.Cee:local) or via the secure cloud (i.Cee:cloud)

i.Cee:local

Your data do not leave your company network at any time, since the i.Cee software communicates only within networks of your choice. Options range from an energy chain within a single machine to a machine park and your own output interface.

i.Cee:cloud

In this internet-based solution, the data take an intermediate stop at the i.Cee.net, a so-called data concentrator. The i.Cee.net is at your location, allowing you to stop or adjust data exchange with the cloud at any time.

Smart machine data acquisition ...

... for predictive maintenance concepts

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 uses various mobile channels to immediately report any unforeseen change. All information is aggregated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.

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