Experience the future with i.CEE: predictive maintenance

Eliminate unplanned downtimes and increase machine availability

The smart networking of individual components creates the solid foundation for predictive maintenance concepts. At igus®, predictive maintenance is referred to as "i.Cee". The central element of this system is the i.Cee software. Sensors on e-chains®, plain bearing bushes, or a linear carriage transform igus® solutions into smart products. This upgrade can determine your igus® product's maximum service life and recommend when to perform maintenance. Algorithms adapt the service life and the service time to the equipment's use.

Advantages:

Avoid high costs due to unexpected machine downtime/failures.
Reduce maintenance and servicing costs.
Maximize the service life of igus® products.

Applications:

Gantries in the automotive industry
Cranes in container logistics
Production cranes
Machine tools
Woodworking machinery
Bulk handling

The i.Cee hardware

i.Cee:box

Weatherproof box (IP.68) is installed in the machine's control cabinet, where it receives the energy chain or plain bearing sensor data and hosts the i.Cee. software.

Learn More

i.Cee:plus II

The i.Cee:plus II module, which is installed in the control cabinet or directly in the machine, collects sensor data from the energy supply or plain bearing and transfers it to the i.Cee software.

i.Cee:custom

This predictive maintenance system's sensors communicate directly with your corporate software, which transfers the data to the i.Cee software for evaluation.

You determine the access of data transfers

i.Cee:local

Your data never leaves your corporate network, since the i.Cee software communicates only within the networks you want it to. The options range from an e-chain® within a single machine to a machine park and your own output interface.

i.Cee:cloud

This online solution has two options. In the first, your data is transferred directly to the cloud, where it is made available in a protected area that can be accessed with a browser dashboard. In the second, the data go to an intermediate location on the i. Cee.net: a so-called data concentrator allowing you to stop or adjust data exchange in the cloud.

i.Cee LIVE Dashboard Demo!

The i.Cee Dashboard visualizes all information and movement data of our smart trade show machine online and in real-time at the igus® virtual-real trade show stand in Cologne.
