We offer two data transfer systems. One is what we refer to as i.Cee:local. This is when you use your own corporates network and you determine the software it talks to.

The other option is the i.Cee:cloud. This is a cloud service where data is transferred directly to the cloud, encrypted and protected.

i.Cee is igus® generic name for our predictive maintenance systems.

• Predictive maintenance capability
• Planned maintenance possible
• Extend service life

The word i-cee derives from “I see ahead”

Automotive production downtime can cost tens of thousands of pounds every hour so predictive maintenance is ideal for this industry.

We use data from our test laboratory as a base line then combine with machine learning in real time.
We also use algorithms from our existing lifetime calculation tools that are freely available on our website (which are based on test lab data) this is then used as a base line

No, can be stand alone, cloud based or linked to network.

As it is a cloud based, it is secure with secure servers. We can be more specific if needed, just give us a call.

i.Sense is condition monitoring only and i.Cee combines predictive maintenance with condition monitoring.

Typically Can Bus, we can communicate with most PLC’s but interface is project specific
