Solution
The automation specialist Güdel uses our
sensor technology i.Sense EC.W for the energy chains installed on its linear robots. These measure the movement, temperature and wear of the four e-chains used and send the measured values via the icom data concentrator to Güdel's condition monitoring computer. This means that Güdel can offer its customers integrated condition monitoring that can be viewed via a central platform. With the tool, the user can quickly and clearly see the condition of the energy chains and rollers used during operation.
Since the i.Sense EC.W sensors are connected to the igus cloud, the data from the energy chains are also evaluated using AI and machine learning. Extensive data and findings from our in-house laboratory are used. The solution automatically recommends maintenance measures to the day. Maintenance can be planned and failures during operation are avoided.
