New Concept for Maintenance in Robotics
Mitsubishi Electric demonstrated innovative predictive maintenance possibilities for robots that can reduce operational costs, increase asset productivity and improve process efficiency at SPS IPC Drives 2017. The cloud-based solution is based on the AI platform within IBM Watson, which enables the smart analysis of operational data to highlight maintenance requirements. In addition, to increase the speed and efficiency of any necessary maintenance activities voice control and augmented reality have been implemented, providing opportunities for significant reductions in downtime. Today many companies are still caught by surprise when machine failures occur. They tend to fix problems during unplanned downtime, or implement preventative maintenance based on set schedules or numbers of operational hours. However, with predictive maintenance, production problems can be highlighted long before they result in unplanned downtime or impact on yield.
