If the monitoring data is collected on an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platform, a machine history can be built up over time. Comprehensive platforms such as the FIELD system from Fanuc are ideal for this purpose. Or locally based solutions such as the i.Cee:local from igus. This allows to advance the supervised learning on the machine even […]
To drive itself, the generation power by means of energy harvesting in the new P4HD rol e-chain® from igus is not yet sufficient. But the smart monitoring sensors for predictive maintenance can very well be operated with the “Power through friction”. The external energy supply, previously implemented by rechargeable batteries, can thus be saved by […]
Of course, the first applications of energy harvesting to become known to a wider audience are in the consumer goods sector. Here, for example, there are already self-charging backpacks or wristwatches. But energy harvesting is not only playing an increasingly important role there. In the latest version of the igus P4HD rol e-chain, service life has again […]
The FIELD system platform is installed and executed at the customer’s site. Converters and applications from both FANUC and third-party suppliers are available in the FIELD system App Store. igus, the motion plastics specialist, has also developed an app for its smart plastics solutions for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance and made it available to […]
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 […]
