Z pohledu zákazníka musí výroba pokračovat bez problémů a systém přívodu energie by měl fungovat stejně hladce. To předpokládá hladký provoz všech součástí a v nich použitých kabelů. igus® byla první firmou, která vyvinula kompletní e-chain system®. Kabely chainflex® a e-chain® jsou dodávány z jednoho zdroje a - podle použití - nabízeny se systémovou zárukou. Principy konstrukce pomáhající zamezovat prostojům strojů po celém světě byly vyvinuty a stále jsou vyvíjeny z know-how spojeným s kabely od roku 1989 a z řady pracných pokusů.
