smart plastics | Introduction | Advantages
smart plastics components are
equipped with connectivity and
sensors to make complex automation
solutions suitable for "Industry 4.0"
smart plastics enable
Industry 4.0 energy supply
In the future, automation solutions across diff erent industries will all have digitalisation. If you want to
entirely network the machines in your manufacturing plant with the internet of things (IoT) in order to be
Industry 4.0-compatible and optimise such items as maintenance, you will need time and money. A
digitalisation strategy that begins by connecting and networking individual assemblies and components is
faster and costs much less. Plant operators benefi t immediately from the connectivity of smart components:
status monitoring for automated plant can be implemented in real time without additional personnel, and
maintenance can be organised predictively. smart plastics off er two options: the simple and rather analogue
condition monitoring i.Sense (sense = perception), for integration with maximum safety. For the complete
networking of the machines with the internet (IoT), the predictive maintenance i.Cee (Cee, derived from
"see") is just right.
i.Sense - condition monitoring
● Simplest, fastest way for a self-monitoring smart plastics product, by attachment of sensors
● Alarm or message when a previously defi ned limit value is exceeded
● Values outside defi ned limits can directly trigger a system shut-down
i.Cee - predictive maintenance
● Sensors and software help to create a system for dynamic service life calculation and optimal maintenance
times
● Wide variety of designs, off ering a high degree of individuality
● Maximum system and user safety and product service life
Typical industries and applications
● Harbour installations ● Cranes ● Automotive production ● Bulk Handling ● Logistics ● Semi conductor
