The ComBox ... the communication module for superwise silver, gold and platinum

All sensors in one box? With the ComBox, there is now a communication module for i.Sense sensors that can be ideally integrated into the superwise service for condition monitoring. The neatly structured dashboard clearly displays information on the service life, maintenance recommendations or information on any anomalies that occur.

With the ComBox, the i.Sense sensors can be seamlessly integrated into the superwise system, enabling fast and reliable data transmission. Intelligent algorithms provide a detailed status analysis that makes it possible to make precise predictions about the condition of the monitored machines and systems. The user-friendly dashboard provides valuable information in real time and enables optimum monitoring and control. A decisive advantage of the ComBox is that the costs for data transmission are already included in the product price, which ensures a transparent cost structure with no hidden fees. This all-in-one system represents the next generation of condition monitoring and offers significant added value by optimising operational processes and minimising downtime. The ComBox is the perfect addition to equip yourself for the challenges of Industry 4.0 and to ideally position yourself in an increasingly networked world.

The superwise service - simply explained

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.

The basic version provides you with:

An overview of the smart plastics components in use (shown on the dashboard)
Maintenance management via the dashboard
Saving of the respective installation date
Information on the recommended replacement time based on statistical values
Next-service reminder
Sensors for condition monitoring as an option (to avoid total damage in the event of a crash)

You are also welcome to make a maintenance contract with us.

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 available 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:

All advantages of the gold version
Data security through customised integration into your own network structure

Predictive maintenance successfully realised

Sewage and wastewater treatment plants

Ports and container cranes

Conveying and bulk handling

Avoid downtime, extend service life

i.Cee gives CFL a system service life estimate, taking into account condition monitoring data such as temperature, travel speed, and distance travelled and provides maintenance and inspection instructions.

Customer applications worldwide

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

To the application overview

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 do not leave your company network at any time, since the i.Cee software communicates only within networks of your choice. Options range from an energy chain within a single machine to a machine park and your own output interface.

i.Cee:cloud

In this internet-based solution, the data take an intermediate stop at the i.Cee.net, a so-called data concentrator. The i.Cee.net is at your location, allowing you to stop or adjust data exchange with 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.
