Experience the future with i.Cee: Predictive maintenance for igus energy supply systems
How can I save significantly on my maintenance costs with smart plastics from igus?
Only the intelligent networking of the individual components creates a solid basis 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. It determines the maximum service life of igus products and the perfect time for servicing.
The advantages of i.Cee at a glance:
▲ Tech up
- Extension of the maximum service life
- Increase in overall system efficiency
- Integration into Industry 4.0/IIoT concepts
▼ Cost down
- Reduce maintenance costs through early warnings
- Eliminate unplanned downtime
- Decrease storage costs

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?

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 line never stops. 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 just such environments that intelligent concepts such as predictive maintenance make the most sense. For a new Industry 4.0 project or for 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
