InHand IG902 Edge Gateway Enables Industrial Robot Remote Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance

InHand IG902 Edge Gateway Enables Industrial Robot Remote Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance

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.
