According to research performed by Accenture Technology, a globally active consultancy, the successful implementation of predictive maintenance can have a marked impact on the performance of industrial organisations across sectors, saving up to 12% over scheduled repairs, reducing overall maintenance costs by up to 30% and increasing breakdown avoidance by up to 70%. Accenture cites […]
In its first stages, IIoT was limited to high-value, big-ticket technologies such as aircraft turbines, for which the enormous costs associated with failure justified the investment. But now there is a discernible trend towards communication-capable, intelligent devices being used to create integrated systems at the lowest level of the automation pyramid. The current development is […]
Once the igus i.Cee app has been integrated, users can monitor the condition of their energy chains and cables at any time and plan maintenance work predictively. The central element of the predictive maintenance system is the i.Cee software. Working with sensors on the energy chain, the plain bearing bush, or a linear carriage, it transforms products […]
