Automation solutions can no longer do without digitalization concepts. With its smart plastics, igus offers intelligent solutions for condition monitoring, which provides fast integration with maximum safety, as well as for predictive maintenance for all those who want to completely connect their manufacturing plants with the Internet of Things (IoT). smart plastics stands for components such as energy chain systems, chainflex cables and plastic plain bearings, which are equipped with connectivity and sensor technology to make complex automation solutions capable for the Industry 4.0. The condition monitoring system i.Sense enables users to monitor chainflex cables regarding tensile forces, cable quality and data transmission rate. In energy chains, it is used to monitor the tensile/push forces and identify chain breaks at an early stage.
