5. Controls, sensors and analytics solutions

Ewellix is at the forefront of innovation and placing digitalisation in its DNA and value proposition for its products. Ewellix has extensive experience working with controls and motors solutions. Its full range of controls are medically approved, guaranteeing a system that is robust and stable over time. Ewellix has a wide range of motors and attachments to ensure the right match between
customer needs and the performances of the actuators.

Digitalisation is opening up fantastic opportunities to improve the behaviours of actuators in customer applications. Indeed, by being able to consistently measure, transfer and analyse the temperature, vibration, or force of a running actuator, Ewellix can improve the condition monitoring of the actuator integrated into the machine. This includes increasing lifetime, protecting machines, improving reliability and planning maintenance.
