Business Challenge
Smart plastics are inconceivable without smart sensors. Sensors are used for condition monitoring, i.e. monitoring the condition of components. Customer-specific parameters, such as the progress of wear, are recorded using a so-called smart box and the data is reported on a special IoT platform. Together with KBC, an innovative, future-proof solution was developed and implemented for this complex challenge.
