GET REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR UNIVERSAL ROBOT
That was the query Airgate, a Danish developer of custom-made IoT options, typically encountered when speaking to distributors and end-users of UR robots.
Airgate had developed a GSM modem answer, ARCS fundamental, that gives easy distant monitoring of the UR robots by sending textual content messages to the robotic operator when the robotic exceeded outlined limits akin to operating out of fabric or stopping work unexpectedly.
But one factor is getting an alert, one other is definitely with the ability to entry the UR robotic’s personal PolyScope interface remotely to handle; troubleshoot, function, diagnose and keep away from vital downtime.
“We discovered a need in the market to take our products to the next level and provide a solution that assists the robot operators on the floor from a central support function,” says Airgate’s CEO, Søren Lund, explaining that the distant help would usually be from an in-house supervisor, a distributor, and even UR’s personal tech help.
The extra answer, ARCS rm – additionally licensed by UR and out there by way of the Universal Robots+ showroom – is software program that gives an encrypted VNC connection between the robotic and any internet-connected machine that the robotic proprietor has granted entry to. Once the connection is established, the PolyScope GUI on the robotic’s contact display will stream to the linked machine display.
“Instead of the robot supporter having to travel on-site, perhaps spending a whole day on this, it’s now possible to diagnose and remotely operate immediately, minimizing costly downtime both for the end-user and the support provider. Our product could easily pay itself back in a single day,” says the Airgate CEO.
