Industry 4.0 is a project of the Federal Government for the digitisation of industrial production. In this idea, production processes do not run side by side as individual processes, but are digitally networked with modern communication technology. All components such as machines, products, logistics and, of course, people communicate with each other here. The goal […]
Networked machines that communicate independently with each other without the influence of humans are described by the term “Internet of Things”. An illustrative example: The refrigerator, which, via sensors, detects that there is no milk left or a predetermined minimum quantity has been reached, and orders a replenishment at the connected supermarket using a network. […]
To align sensor data with the igus cloud, you do not need to connect to the corporate network. The modules icom and icom. plus send their data independently via an IoT connection to the igus cloud, and corporate data are not queried at any time. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!
Whether you use the icom or the icom. plus in your plant monitoring depends on how much of the acquired sensor data you want to incorporate in your infrastructure. Before use both modules are initially recorded with the expected trouble-free runtime. This is determined from several parameters such as application area, ambient conditions and operating […]
The prerequisite for the most accurate information possible on the trouble-free running time of our components is that the details of use given by the operator are accurate. This includes information on the place of use with weather conditions and temperatures, distances, loads, number of cycles, etc. How can we make predictions with these details? […]
