How can I save significantly on maintenance costs with smart plastics?

Smart networking of individual components creates the solid foundation for predictive maintenance concepts. At igus®, we call our predictive maintenance system i.Cee. The central element of this system is the i.Cee software. This software, combined with sensors on the energy chain, the plain bearing or a linear carriage, transform stock products into smart products. This upgrade enables you to determine the maximum service life of your igus product and the i.Cee system specifies the perfect time for servicing. Algorithms adjust the service life and service time according to usage. The software we provide plus a few sensors transform standard products available from stock into a smart energy supply system or smart bearing technology in no time.

The i.Cee hardware

i.Cee EC.I

EC.I



Excess clearance between a chain link's bolt and hole is a clear indication of the decreasing service life of an e-chain system®. The EC.I.SU.02 sensor measures this clearance in unambiguous percentage increments and sends them to the i.Cee:plus module. There, the remaining service life is calculated from movement data from the system's control system and, if necessary, a replacement recommendation is made.

i.Cee:plus II

i.Cee:plus II The i.Cee:plus II module installed in the control cabinet of the machine or directly in the machine collects the sensor data of the energy supply system or the plain bearing and transmits them to the i.Cee software.

i.Cee individual

i.Cee individual In individual project business, the sensors in the energy chain or plain bearing can of course also communicate directly with your company software. Due to the direct connection between the sensors and the company's own software, this constitutes the most complex, but also the most customised solution.

You determine the manner of data transfer and access

Data transfer within your local corporate network (i.Cee:local) or on a secure cloud (i.Cee:cloud)

i.Cee:local

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 energy chain within a single machine to a machine park and your own output interface.   

i.Cee:cloud

i.Cee:cloud This internet-based 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. The i. Cee.net is at your location, allowing you to stop or adjust data exchange with the cloud at any time.

... thanks to less downtime with igus i.Cee

In automotive production, the conveyor belt never stops. Collaborating robot arms for assembly and welding work are in continuous use, as are all the components that supply them with energy and data. It is precisely in such environments that intelligent concepts in the style of predictive maintenance make the most sense. Whether a new project for Industry 4.0 or efficiency-driven retrofitting - our smart plastics solutions are available as universal modular systems and can be individually adapted to any system.

The igus® white paper on predictive maintenance

clarifies the distinction between condition monitoring and predictive maintenance


In our white paper, you can find out about the following: 

  • What igus® condition monitoring (i.Sense) means
  • What igus® predictive maintenance (i.Cee) means
  • What technology is behind both systems?
  • What the two systems offer industrial energy supply?
