igus offers customers the opportunity to save costs and protect the environment at the same time when purchasing cables from the chainflex range: thanks to the residual stock in the online shop, they can purchase remaining lengths of chainflex cables at a 50% discount. This zero-waste measure helps avoid waste and makes the company more sustainable.
Reason to celebrate: the international jury of experts of the renowned competition for communication design Red Dot Award has honoured the open virtual-reality platform iguverse in two categories: “Virtual Reality Installations” and “Exhibition Design Elements”. The award recognises the motion plastics specialist’s efforts to offer SMEs barrier-free access to innovative 3D technologies and thus support their global competitiveness. Customers can present and design products faster, more efficiently and more sustainably without having to draw on their own development resources. They also save costs by using the iguverse: for example, companies can downsize exhibition stands and have digital exhibits created instead of investing in expensive exhibition models. igus is using the recognition as a tailwind to further develop the functionalities of the iguverse.
As part of the Smart City Initiative with Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH, Funkwerk Systems GmbH has developed a state-of-the-art pedestrian information and guidance system that is changing the way pedestrians explore urban environments. The guide moves every three minutes, drawing attention to events at central points in Stuttgart’s town centre. This pioneering project took second place in the German Tourism Award in 2023. It relies on the three-dimensional triflex R energy chain and highly flexible chainflex cables from igus to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
