1. Scenario Background
A manufacturing plant with multiple industrial robots faced challenges: unplanned downtime due to sudden failures, high maintenance costs from reactive repairs, and lack of real-time visibility into robot operational status.
2. Product Selection
InHand IG902 Edge Computing Gateway – featuring robust industrial interfaces, edge data processing, secure connectivity, and compatibility with robot control systems.
3. Core Solutions
Connect IG902 to industrial robots via Ethernet/RS485 to collect real-time data (temperature, vibration, torque, runtime, error codes).
Edge computing locally analyzes data to detect anomalies (e.g., abnormal vibration indicating bearing wear).
Transmit critical alerts and processed data to the cloud platform for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance scheduling.
4. Implementation Results
40% reduction in unplanned downtime.
30% lower maintenance costs via predictive repairs.
24/7 real-time visibility of robot health status.
