GHD Georg Hartmann Maschinenbau is one of the world's leading manufacturers of systems for slicing and packaging foodstuffs. Those in charge were looking for a reliable energy supply with pneumatic and electrical cables in order to refine a packaging machine with high processing cycles. Today, a monitored smart solution that indicates faults even before the machine fails is being used.
A large German crane manufacturer uses the i.Sense condition monitoring system to ensure an optimum production process. It uses the EC.B break detection, EC.P push/pull force monitoring, and CF.P chainflex tensile force monitoring products. All dynamic data are saved by the i.Cee module and processed. Here, machine learning and AI algorithms calculate the service life and display it on a web dashboard on the i.Cee dashboard on any internet-enabled device as "days until the next recommended maintenance work"
The train washing plant belonging to the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL) cleans local and long-distance trains daily in its 200 metre-long wash hall. To allow the wash trolleys to travel on both sides of a train, several energy chains are used with intelligent sensor technology that monitors the plant condition and plans maintenance predictively.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
EC.B sensor for breakage monitoring + EC.W for measurement of the abrasion along the energy chain.
Why is it used?
For the customer, it is important that subsequent damage to the equipment be prevented in the event of chain breakage. The EC.B module detects a breakage in the energy chain and switches the equipment off or at least indicates a fault. By means of the EC.W sensor, the abrasion along the e-chains is measured, as a result of which maintenance is predictable
Which smart plastics technology is used?
P4.1 energy chains with i.Sense EC.B intelligent breakage detection
Why is it used?
Increased plant safety and availability; complete project implementation from a single source; smart early-warning system
Which smart plastics technology is used?
EC.M sensor for motion data and EC.W sensor for measuring abrasion on the energy chain
Why is it used?
The two sensors transmit the measured values via the i.com module (now i.Cee module) directly to the Güdel condition monitoring system, which evaluates the data, making maintenance plannable.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Condition monitoring: EC.P for determining push/pull forces, EC.B for detecting chain breaks, CF.P for measuring tensile force on cables, EC.M sensor for movement data, and EC.W sensor for measuring abrasion on the energy chain.
Predictive maintenance: i.Cee.local
Why is it used?
For maximum system protection, overview, maintenance management, product service life, and safety.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Roller energy chains with EC.P push/pull force detection that monitors the displacement forces of the energy chains online.
Why is it used?
To prevent failures and damage to the system by means of predictive maintenance or remote intervention.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
E4/4 Heavy Duty energy chains with the smart i.Sense condition monitoring system
Why is it used?
To prevent damage and downtime in the demanding application environment
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Complete i.Sense condition monitoring system for an existing 4040HD energy chain
Why is it used?
Extension of service intervals and thus significant reduction of both costs and the risk of failure
Topic overview:
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Complete smart plastics package with i.Sense - condition monitoring and i.Cee - predictive maintenance
Why is it used?
Real-time control over the condition of the automatic crane's energy supply system and significant reduction of the risk of failure
Which smart plastics technology is used?
E4-series energy chains with i.Cee for predictive maintenance
Why is it used?
Provides the highest availability with maintenance recommendations to prevent unplanned failures. The result: fifteen years of continuous operation already
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Completely harnessed readychain system with i.Sense Push/Pull Detection System
Why is it used?
i.Sense push/pull force measurement also provides additional safety, monitoring the entire system and shutting down the crane if it becomes overloaded. This prevents damage to the chain and cables and thus costly failures, reacting to them before they can occur.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
EC.P pull force monitoring system for the energy chain
Why is it used?
The sedimentation tank surface scrapers in wastewater treatment plants operate very slowly, but do so 24/7 and it is possible that damage to the system will not be detected until hours later. In order to shut down the plant in an emergency, the EC.P module is used in many wastewater treatment plants with an energy chain, shutting down the plant in an emergency so that the damage can be rectified and total damage is avoided.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Reliable energy supply system with intelligent i.Sense EC.P system
Why is it used?
Amortisation within four years and avoidance of major damage and expensive cable guide repairs
Which smart plastics technology is used?
Heavy Duty roller energy chains with the smart i.Sense condition monitoring system
Why is it used?
Intelligent, reliable supply of power and signals under extremely adverse environmental conditions
Which smart plastics technology is used?
i.Sense EC.P for continuous monitoring of prevailing push/pull forces
Why is it used?
In order to provide additional planning security for such dimensions, the entire cable guide is supplemented with smart plastics – intelligent sensors in combination with energy chains. Damage to the cable guide can thus be countered well before it occurs.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
i.Sense EC.P as a system cleaning reminder
Why is it used? "If the chain's travel is too impaired by dust and dirt, the pull/push force detection shuts the system down before damage occurs, and we know it's time to clean the chain's travel again."
Which smart plastics technology is used?
i.Sense EC.P for permanent monitoring of the plant
Why is it used?
The system includes an intelligent sensor system for monitoring the pull/push forces, which can be used for an emergency shutdown in the event of increased forces.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
5050RHD rol e-chain with i.Sense condition monitoring system
Why is it used?
Trouble-free operation without failure for more than ten years
Which smart plastics technology is used?
CF.Q = Cable monitoring
Why is it used?
At 80 cycles per minute, several million cycles are reached within just a few months. Of course, the machine should operate for many years without failing. CF.Q does not lengthen the service life of the cables but can calculate their exact service life and thus makes maintenance 100% predictable.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
EC.M motion sensor, EC.W abrasion sensor, EC.B breakage sensor, i.Cee:plus for the evaluation of sensor data, i.Cee:net for the transfer of data to the i.Cee dashboard
Why is it used?
The purpose of condition monitoring of the built-in components is to ensure that, if damage occurs, the machine is shut down, whereby the predictive maintenance system provides an optimum maintenance plan for the built-in components.
Which smart plastics technology is used?
i.Sense bushing
Why is it used?
Due to heavy loads and the additional effects of dirt, vibration and weather, a huge amount of stress is placed on bearing points, but they are sometimes maintained irregularly as well or, due to the difficulty of access, are sometimes badly or only partly maintained. This is where the smart bearing is of help as it always reports the current condition of components and how worn they are.
