With the intelligent trailer coupling for agricultural machinery, breakdowns in the agricultural sector can be prevented and maintenance can be planned. The idea is simple but ingenious: a monitoring unit is attached to the coupling and measures the wear of the plain bearing via a sensor that is guided through an existing grease nipple hole. In this way, it is possible to recognise in good time when the bearing needs to be replaced. Expensive breakdowns or damage can thus be avoided. In addition, material costs are saved as the bearing is only replaced when it is really necessary and not according to a rigid schedule. And as this saves resources, it also has a positive effect on the environment.

Tech up

• Lubrication-free at high loads
• Use in dirt and weather conditions
• Corrosion-free bearing points

Cost down

• No downtime for lubrication or corrosion removal

Proof

• Successful use of a wear insert made of iglidur high-performance plastic at the Rockinger company

Sustainability

• No use of lubricants

i.Cee gives CFL a system service life estimate, taking into account condition monitoring data such as temperature, travel speed, and distance travelled and provides maintenance and inspection instructions.

In international automotive production, the global crane industry, or regional wastewater plants: i.Sense EC.P systems are successfully used wherever maintenance costs are saved and machine downtime prevented:

To the application overview

Your data do not leave your company network at any time, since the i.Cee software communicates only within networks of your choice. Options range from an energy chain within a single machine to a machine park and your own output interface.

In this internet-based solution, the data take an intermediate stop at the i.Cee.net, a so-called data concentrator. The i.Cee.net is at your location, allowing you to stop or adjust data exchange with the cloud at any time.
