The firmware extension for optimised e-chain service management

A smart step forward in service management: with the addition of a new maintenance management module to the firmware and the connection to the superwise system, service calls and retrofits can be planned intelligently.

The management of maintenance plans is an important part of service management for gliding e-chain® applications. By implementing the maintenance management module and integrating it into the superwise service system, maintenance can be planned intelligently and system downtimes avoided. The firmware extension includes a new maintenance management module that initiates usage-dependent maintenance reminders. With the optional superwise connection, a comprehensive overview of all machine data can be utilised.
The module offers usage-dependent maintenance reminders to ensure that machines are always optimally maintained. The integration of an optional superwise connection expands the possibilities even further by providing a comprehensive overview of all machine data. Integration into existing OT systems or IoT cloud applications can create significant added value and, by detecting potential problems at an early stage, extend the service life of the systems and increase safety.
Intelligent maintenance planning can help to reduce operating costs and increase productivity.

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 downtime prevented:

To the application overview

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.

Predictive maintenance

You determine the manner of data transfer and access

Data transfer within your local corporate network (i.Cee:local) or on a 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.

In automotive production, the line 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 just such environments that intelligent concepts such as predictive maintenance make the most sense. For a new Industry 4.0 project or for efficiency-driven retrofitting, our smart plastics solutions are available as universal modular systems and can be individually adapted to any system.
