The Robotiq team spent the last few months working on a first robot monitoring system. Insights is a web application that monitors Universal Robots performance. It gives a real-time view of the robot’s key performance indicators in operation.
With this data, manufacturing engineers will be able to improve their product quality and increase process efficiency. Automation engineers will take advantage of this information to optimize robot performance by reducing cycle time and diagnosing failures.
Production managers will see the long term trends in robot performance to improve planning and overall productivity. Insights’ dashboard also provides operators with real-time status and alerts to optimize production.
Insights features
Monitors robot in real-time
Measures robot performance over time, from minutes to years
Gives access to your robot data anytime, anywhere
Provides cell level diagnostics with fault reports and alerts, Digital IO state visibility and external sensor readout
Gives Operational KPIs: Cycles Completed, Utilization, Efficiency, Wait-time, Disconnected time
Sends periodic email performance reports to subscribers
Sends alerts via SMS on exceptions or when the robot needs attention
Insights consist of:
Hardware
Insights Edge Gateway
Hardware kit to integrate on any UR robot (Power cable, Ethernet cable, USB cable)
Software
Insights URCap
Insights Web Application at https://insights.robotiq.com
Compatibility: Universal Robots UR3, UR5 & UR10 with controller CB3.1 or higher only
Product only available for UR in North America and Europe
If you have any questions feel free to post below! Thanks!
Can you elaborate more about Inside Edge Gateway?
Do i need to buy in order to pair connection between UR Robot and Insights Web Application?
The Edge Gateway is required to connect Insights URCap running on UR robot with the cloud service and Insights web app. Buying it depends on timing because as part of the product launch we offer it free for the next three months. In fact, you can ask for one right from the web app when you add your robot.
thats very strange since I successfully tested Insights without Edge gateway by only installing Insights URcaps on robot.
