igus, a motion plastics specialist, is set to showcase future-oriented solutions for sustainable Industry 4.0 at the Hannover Exhibition in April [548b6783]. The company will exhibit technologies such as smart sensor technology for intelligent maintenance, AI-supported low-cost robotics, and an AI-based app that optimizes applications with lubrication-free motion plastics. igus will also highlight the economic and ecological advantages of using lubrication-free polymer bearings, which can save between £6000 and £12 million per year in lubricant costs and offer CO2 savings [548b6783].
In addition, igus will present innovations in low-cost automation, including the ReBeL cobot and the ReBeL KID, as well as products with AI-based voice and gesture control. The goal is to make low-cost robotics more accessible and improve a wide range of applications to be more sustainable, intelligent, and Industry 4.0-capable [548b6783].
igus emphasizes the cost savings and environmental benefits of implementing lubrication-free solutions. The company's smart plastics, which include energy chain systems, cables, and bearings equipped with intelligent sensors for real-time condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, will also be showcased at the exhibition [efe3bf33].
The Hannover Exhibition provides igus with a platform to accelerate the transformation to sustainable Industry 4.0. The company aims to revolutionize the manufacturing paradigm with a focus on plastic intelligence, artificial intelligence (AI), and circular economy principles [efe3bf33].
