iComm Box: all-in-one system for the next generation of condition monitoring

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia - July 4, 2024 - PRLog -- Optimize operating processes and minimize downtimes: this is what the new iComm Box from igus® helps you with. Thanks to the communication module, the i.Sense sensors for condition monitoring of igus® motion plastics can be seamlessly integrated into the supervise service. Intelligent algorithms provide a detailed status analysis of the monitored machines and systems. The supervise dashboard provides information in real time and allows for optimum monitoring and control. A decisive advantage: the costs for data transmission are already included in the product price.

igus® I.Sense series of intelligent sensors help prevent costly damage by monitoring the condition of machine components and stopping systems immediately in case of anomalies. The new communication module enhances these sensors' capabilities by connecting them to igus®'s supervise service for swift data transmission. This integration allows for the storage, later evaluation, and diagnostic use of data in the igus i.Cee portal. Moreover, intelligent algorithms analyze sensor data to predict the condition and service life of components like energy chains, which is displayed on the supervise dashboard along with maintenance recommendations and anomaly alerts, optimizing service life and reducing failure risks.
