smart plastics - enable Industry 4.0 energy supply
smart plastics - components equipped with connectivity and sensors
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, measured limit value is exceeded
● Values outside defi ned limits can directly trigger a system shut-down
● Detects machine status regularly or continuously
● Uses fast switch-off to avoid crashes

i.Cee - predictive maintenance
● Precisely predicts maintenance
● Prevents downtime or loss of quality
● 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
