"Like an avatar in James Cameron's yet-to-be-filmed blockbuster "Industrial Avatar" - this is how a journalist describes her experiences during a preview of the iguverse, the digital twin of the igus factory. Digital twin? Virtual reality? Augmented reality? Aren't all these terms familiar from the techie world that make you wonder if it's just a hype that will soon pass?
Engineers are often naturally curious and have a strong urge to explore. Playing and experimenting with new technologies and ideas creates innovative solutions and products. This creative process helps push the boundaries of what is possible and opens up new perspectives in technology and industry. It is precisely this urge to play and experiment that we have promoted at this year's Hannover Messe to pave the way for outstanding achievements in industry, technology and production - with igus enjoyneering, you unleash your engineering power with play!
We too have experimented a lot with new technologies and tried using them for our customers and products. All of a sudden, doors opened and unforeseen possibilities arose:
It's fascinating to see what has suddenly become possible thanks to such digital revolutions: avoid incorrect assembly by testing everything digitally first. Agree on configurations before ending up ordering incorrect products. Avoid travelling times by meeting in virtual space. With playful ease, digital technologies help us become familiar with our products and select the ideal product for an application. This is exactly what enjoyneering stands for!
It is important to us not to get lost in technologies, but always to answer the following question: "How do you as a customer benefit?". Very simple: you can develop and design machines and systems with playful ease. With joy and fun at work. In a collaborative process that expands your creativity and technical know-how, and with which you can increase the success of your work. Discover some of our enjoyneering highlights now:
In the iguverse, the igus metaverse, you as an engineer can optimise sustainable prototypes with your team. The virtual world helps identify weaknesses at an early stage and implement plant and machine developments at many times your usual speed.
The igusGo app shows you how to design and improve systems and machines without lubrication in seconds - simply with a photo.
We have been supporting you since 2000 by calculating service life and other parameters to make your motion plastics® applications durable and sustainable. kopla, our fully managed service platform, now offers companies our proven technology for developing their own customised online configurators and simulators in a quick and cost-effective way.
We are also dedicated to environmental protection, from the igus:bike made of recycling material, which has won several awards, to the Chainge recycling platform to an energy-efficient heating system that uses machine heat.
In addition to the digital revolutions, we also offered you a lot of real innovations at the Hannover Messe. Believe it or not, 190 innovations and product range extensions that, thanks to igus enjoyneering, unleash your engineering power with play. Discover our product highlights and all new products from A to Z now.
You can also conveniently download a PDF catalogue of our new, digital services and solutions.
