At the Hannover Messe, igus is showcasing smart sensor technology for AI-supported low-cost robotics and its AI-based app for optimising applications with lubrication-free motion plastics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) simplifies the work of design engineers right from the selection of suitable components. This proves igus<\/a> at the Hannover Messe with igusGO. The AI-based app reveals in a matter of seconds how an application can be technically optimised with lubrication-free components from the company. The App recognises the object with AI algorithms<\/strong> and makes suggestions for igus products that increase reliability and reduce costs.<\/p>\n

A new joint study by scientists at RWTH Aachen University and igus has now quantified the economic and ecological benefits of lubrication-free polymer bearings for the first time: Depending on the application, between 7,000 and 14 million euros can be saved per year. Save purchasing costs for lubricants<\/strong>. At the same time, the switch to polymer bearings offers CO2<\/sub>-savings potential.<\/p>

Plastics from igus are also intelligent. On show at Hannover Messe 2024 are the igus smart plastics, i.e. energy chain systems, cables, linear guides and plain, articulated and rotary table bearings, which Equipped with intelligent sensors<\/strong> are. They not only enable real-time condition monitoring, but can also be connected to various networks and IoT systems and thus integrated into a predictive maintenance concept in order to avoid expensive production downtimes caused by unplanned plant shutdowns. With the help of sensors, evaluation modules and software, a Dynamic service life calculation realised and optimum maintenance times<\/strong> for the products - which also offers an advantage in terms of sustainability. This is because products are not replaced unnecessarily early, but only when they have reached the end of their product life cycle.<\/p>\n

AI for optimisation and maintenance<\/h2>\n

With the \u201esuperwise\u201c digital service, it is possible to keep an eye on your own applications at all times via a centralised dashboard with little personnel effort. This turns the Intelligent linking of application, product and sensor data<\/strong> as well as the optional use of the Internet of Things to provide comprehensive \u201eplastics intelligence\u201c. The customer automatically receives Timely maintenance recommendations<\/strong>, offers, warnings or suggestions for improvement. If companies do not have time to keep an eye on their applications themselves, igus takes on this responsibility. Employees then report proactively when something needs to be done.<\/p>
