Application examples with smart plastics

Which smart plastics technology is used?
Complete smart plastics package with i.Sense - condition monitoring and i.Cee - predictive maintenance

Why is it used?
Real-time control over the condition of the automatic crane's energy supply system and significant reduction of the risk of failure

Which smart plastics technology is used?
Condition monitoring: EC.P for determining push/pull forces, EC.B for detecting chain breaks, CF.P for measuring tensile force on cables, EC.M sensor for movement data, and EC.W sensor for measuring abrasion on the energy chain.
Predictive maintenance: i.Cee.local

Why is it used?
For maximum system protection, overview, maintenance management, product service life, and safety. 

Which smart plastics technology is used?
Roller energy chains with EC.P push/pull force detection that monitors the displacement forces of the energy chains online.

Why is it used?
To prevent failures and damage to the system by means of predictive maintenance or remote intervention.

Which smart plastics technology is used?
E4/4 Heavy Duty energy chains with the smart i.Sense condition monitoring system

Why is it used?
To prevent damage and downtime in the demanding application environment  

Which smart plastics technology is used?
i.Sense EC.P for permanent monitoring of the plant

Why is it used? 
The system includes an intelligent sensor system for monitoring the pull/push forces, which can be used for an emergency shutdown in the event of increased forces. 

Which smart plastics technology is used?
5050RHD rol e-chain with i.Sense condition monitoring system

Why is it used? 
Trouble-free operation without failure for more than ten years

Which smart plastics technology is used?
Completely harnessed readychain system with i.Sense Push/Pull Detection System 

Why is it used?
i.Sense push/pull force measurement also provides additional safety, monitoring the entire system and shutting down the crane if it becomes overloaded. This prevents damage to the chain and cables and thus costly failures, reacting to them before they can occur.

A large German crane manufacturer uses the i.Sense condition monitoring system to ensure an optimum production process. It uses the EC.B break detection, EC.P push/pull force monitoring, and CF.P chainflex® tensile force monitoring products. All dynamic data is saved by the i.cee module and processed. Here, machine learning and AI algorithms calculate the service life and display it on a web dashboard on the i.Cee dashboard on any internet-enabled device as "days until the next recommended maintenance work."
