Dienstag 23 April 2024 6 | Messe aktuell HANNOVER MESSE DAILY 2024 our constantly growing product cosmos with maximum efficiency and transparency “ says Tobias Vogel CEO of plain bearings and linear technology at Igus There are already more than 580 different applications in the app‘s brain and more are being added every day – from coffee machines to crane systems to airplanes Predictive maintenance thanks to plastic intelligence Plastics from Igus are also intelligent At Hannover Messe 2024 Igus is presenting Smart Plastics i e energy chain systems cables linear guides as well as sliding spherical and rotary table bearings that are equipped with intelligent sensors Not only do they enable realtime condition monitoring but they can also be connected to various networks and IoT systems They can be integrated into a predictive maintenance concept to avoid expensive production downtimes due to unplanned system downtimes Sensors evaluation modules and software enable a dynamic service life calculation and help to define optimal maintenance times for the products – which also offers an advantage in terms of sustainability The reason for this is that products are not replaced unnecessarily or too early but only when they have reached the end of their product life cycle Igus is continually developing its smart plastics services in order to respond to current challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers Thanks to the digital service called superwise for example it is now possible to constantly keep an eye on your own AI meets plastics Smart maintenance lowcost robotics and AIbased online tools – these are Igus’ topics at Hannover Messe The Colognebased company shows groundbreaking solutions for the lubricantfree and CO 2 -neutral industry and automation of tomorrow In order to support industrial companies during the challenges of our time such as the transformation to Industry 4 0 and CO 2 - neutral production the Colognebased motion plastics specialist Igus is relying on Triple Intelligence at the Hannover Messe artificial intelligence plastics intelligence and Cologne intelligence The exhibits include smart sensors for tomorrow‘s maintenance and AIsupported lowcost robotics that are easy to use In addition Igus is introducing an AIbased app that shows designers the optimization potential of their application with lubricantfree motion plastics in a matter of seconds AIbased app shows optimizations Artificial intelligence AI machine learning digital twins Innovative technologies are revolutionizing the way industrial companies manufacture their products and optimize processes Artificial intelligence simplifies the work of designers when it comes to selecting suitable components Igus proves this at Hannover Messe with igusGO The AIbased app reveals in a matter of seconds how an application can be technically optimized with lubricantfree components from Igus To do this designers don‘t have to pore over catalogs make phone calls or write emails but simply take a photo of their application The app uses AI algorithms to recognize the object and makes suggestions for Igus products that increase reliability and reduce costs For a bucket wheel excavator for example these could be heavyduty bearings made of highperformance plastic Anew study by scientists from RWTH Aachen and Igus has now quantified the economic and ecological benefits of lubricationfree polymer bearings for the first time Depending on the application this saves between 7 000 and 14 million euros per year that would otherwise be spent on lubricants At the same time doing without lubricants offers potential for CO 2 savings By this means study participant Heineken Brasil for example saves 180 kilograms of CO 2 equivalents per year If all Heineken stores switched to polymer bearings the company could save 28 814 kilograms of CO 2 equivalents Asmall modification with a big impact „The optimization potential through the use of our motion plastics can be discovered much more easily and quickly with the help of igusGO We bring numerous innovations onto the market every year – in 2023 alone there were 227 Our AI app now makes it possible to navigate through Making customer applications fit for sustainable Industry 4 0 Igus relies on AIsupported lowcost robotics smart maintenance and AIbased online tools such as the igusGO app which for example shows the optimization potential of crane systems in a matter of seconds Image Igus
