Predictive maintenance for machines and systems: How smart can plastics be?

May 6, 2024
Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are essential to maximizing machine service life. Download the white paper to learn about some of the ways to implement these concepts in your own machines.

In implementing Industry 4.0 or smart factory examples and applications, many companies focus on preventive maintenance.

Certain plastic components can be outfitted with sensors to enable condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, such as:

  • Cable carriers
  • Plain bearings
  • Linear bearings

Learn more about how these plastics components become “smart” and how they can be incorporated into your own machinery to prevent unwanted downtime.
