[Case Study Materials] Robot Driving Axis Edition

Introducing IoT preventive maintenance to avoid risks of sudden stops and prevent losses for transport shafts, which tend to be under high load due to harsh operating environments.

By simply attaching sensors to the components, we can visualize the current state in numerical form and achieve anomaly detection. This is an example of the effects of introducing the IoT service 'OMNl edge' into the robot's travel axis. "The surrounding environment is very harsh due to welding, retrieval, transportation, and special processing, leading to the entry of processing dust and liquids or mist, which can cause damage. Although we are taking environmental measures, is there a way to know the state in advance?" This service addresses such concerns. [Contents] ■ Concern 1: If a failure occurs in the long robot transport axis, it leads to a major halt! ■ Concern 2: In processes with harsh operating environments, the frequency of guide replacements is high! ■ Countermeasures with OMNIedge! ■ Effect image ■ What is OMNIedge? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
