Avoid unplanned downtime with smart plastic

The white paper on predictive maintenance

Differentiates condition monitoring from predictive maintenance

In the white paper you will learn:

• What does condition monitoring (i.Sense) mean at igus®?
• What does predictive maintenance (i.Cee) at igus® include?
• What technology is behind both systems?
• What do both systems offer for energy supply in the industry?

Condition monitoring ...

... i.Sense knows how your system is doing
Condition monitoring is the simplest and quickest way to turn many igus® products into self-monitoring, smart plastic products. By attaching sensors, values (e.g. temperature, forces, sound waves/vibrations) are measured within a previously defined limit value and, if these are exceeded, an alarm or at least an information message is issued. The next steps (maintenance or shutdown) can be decided on the basis of this information. If required, the system can also be shut down immediately if the measured values are exceeded in order to avoid expensive consequential damage. At igus® we summarise condition monitoring under the term i.Sense (I feel).
