Quickly detect cable failures ... quite simply with the CF.D module

NEW now with event log and Profinet Ethercat capability: i.Sense CF.D module determines the exact position in the event of transmission problems and maintenance measures can be initiated quickly and precisely.

The new CF.D module is looped into the dynamically loaded Ethernet bus cable to be monitored and checks the transmission properties of the cable on the cores used. In the event of a fault, the position of the fault location in the cable is determined so that maintenance measures can be initiated quickly and precisely in the correct segment.

In the event of irregularities occurring, the cable length to the fault location and thus the exact position is determined. Maintenance measures can then be initiated quickly and precisely in the right segment. This means that time-consuming troubleshooting can be avoided. Maintenance work is therefore no longer based on guesswork, but on solid, precise data.

superwise basic

... Security through experience ...

With the superwise basic service, we give you access to the superwise portal.

There you can view the recommended replacement time for your energy chain. We base this statement on the information and data you provide by using statistically determined values.

In addition, we offer you the service of informing you of inspection dates in good time.

We use details such as the number of cycles per day, speed, acceleration, fill weight and ambient conditions to calculate the expected service life. With these specifications, you can create time-controlled maintenance plans.

superwise silver

... Precisely know the status of your energy chain

With the superwise silver service, you can supplement your energy chain with our i.Sense modules and the ComBox. These systems determine an exact movement profile of your energy chain and send it to the superwise portal.

This makes a precise statement on the recommended replacement time for your energy chain and corresponding maintenance recommendations.

With the help of the i.Sense sensors, the number of cycles, speed, acceleration and any anomalies that occur are recorded and transmitted to the superwise portal, where a graphical display is created.

The silver version provides you with:

All advantages of the basic version
Adaptive replacement recommendation based on the actual movement profile
Customised maintenance schedules based on use
Identification of anomalies and defined follow-up measures
Proactive contact from igus® if action is required
The i.Sense module detects situations in which specified values are exceeded and issues an alarm or notification.

superwise gold

... Highest precision thanks to top-quality sensors ...

The superwise gold service uses high-quality sensors to provide you with precise and comprehensive information about your components.

Thanks to sensitive sensors and sophisticated i.Cee modules, highly detailed data can be collected.

On this basis, it is possible to make precise predictions about the individual condition and the expected recommended replacement time

The gold version provides you with:

All advantages of the silver version
Dynamic replacement recommendations, sensor-based with the help of wear sensors
High-resolution sensor data on the dashboard
Remote access via IoT for data transfer. No integration into existing network structures
Automatic security updates

superwise platinum

... Leave the worrying to us ...

The superwise platinum service makes your life easier.

You get all advantages of the superwise gold service plus complete peace of mind with regard to your data.

The platinum version provides you with:

Worldwide customer applications

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

You alone decide on the route & access of the data

Data transfer within your local company network (i.Cee:local) or via the secure cloud (i.Cee:cloud)

i.Cee:local

Your data never leaves your company network, as the i.Cee software only communicates within the networks you specify. The spectrum ranges from an energy chain within a machine to a machine park and its own output interface.

i.Cee:cloud

With this Internet-based solution, the data makes a stopover via i.Cee.net, a so-called data concentrator. The i.Cee.net is located on site, which means you can stop or adjust the data exchange to the cloud at any time.

Smart machine data acquisition ...

... for predictive maintenance concepts

The i.Cee module can be integrated into predictive maintenance concepts in a number of ways. From preventive service management, which schedules regular maintenance depending on use, to location-independent fault management, which uses various mobile channels to immediately report any unforeseen change. All information is aggregated in a modern dashboard, online or offline in the local network, depending on the customer's requirements.

... thanks to less downtime with igus i.Cee
In automotive production, the cable never stops. Collaborating robot arms for assembly and welding are in continuous use, as are all the components that supply them with energy and data. It is in environments like this that predictive maintenance make the most sense. Whether for a new Industry 4.0 project or efficiency-driven retrofitting, our smart plastics solutions are available as universal modular systems and can be individually adapted to any system.
