Minimise service calls ... with the OTA-capable i.Sense module

How can operational reliability be increased and the service life of systems extended? Using the second-generation OTA-capable i.Sense module and integrating it into the Superwise system makes it quick and easy to monitor and analyse machine data for preventive maintenance.

The i.Sense GEN II NEW module now comes with over-the-air (OTA) updates for firmware and operating software. The second-generation i.Sense module records motion profile data from your machines and enables an IoT connection to the superwise portal - in addition to the tried-and-tested push/pull force and breakage monitoring. This reliably prevents system failures caused by foreign objects, misalignment or weathering effects. The option of seamless IoT integration with the superwise portal is of course included. The OTA update capability extends not only to firmware and operating software, but also to the parametrisation of the devices. By connecting to superwise with a communication module, service calls can be minimised and the product service life extended.
The module has already proven itself in thousands of push/pull force monitoring applications and hundreds of breakage monitoring applications in productive operation on crane systems, gantries and in projects. The module also offers a remote setup function via smartphone, which makes operation and maintenance even simpler and more efficient.

Looking to the future with i.Cee ...

... Concepts for predictive maintenance

When will components need to be replaced? When should I schedule maintenance? The i.Cee module helps to answer these questions. It offers numerous integration options in predictive maintenance concepts. From preventive service management, which schedules regular maintenance depending on usage, to location-independent fault management, which immediately reports any unforeseen changes via various mobile channels. All information is aggregated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.

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 smart plastic condition monitoring components reliably prevent total failures due to chain breakage, blockages or cable damage. In the event of a shutdown, you will be informed immediately by e-mail or text message, and the igus® sales department will also be informed so that fast deliveries can be arranged if necessary. All messages are saved with measured values in the portal and can be analysed at a later date for diagnostic purposes. In addition to the Basic Service, the system also records an optional movement profile, allowing a more precise service life calculation or service planning.

superwise Gold

Additional sensors are installed in your system to determine the actual wear of the e-chain systems ® or cable. This status information is available to you 24/7 via the i.Cee portal and enables long-term maintenance and retrofit planning. Depending on the i.Cee hardware used, 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 in good time!

You alone decide how & access 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

With this Internet-based solution, the data makes a stopover via i.Cee.net, a so-called data concentrator. The i.Cee.net is located on your premises, which means you can stop or adjust the data exchange to the cloud at any time.
