Smart Factory - Robot Remote Monitoring

Smart Factory - Robot Remote Monitoring

1. Scenario Background
A auto welding factory operates 20 industrial robots (for welding & material handling). Previously:
No real-time tracking of robot arm position/speed or motor temperature — faults were only found after production halts.
Data collection intervals were too slow (5s+) to capture fast-moving arm status.
On-site maintenance took 2+ hours per fault, delaying production.
2. Product Selection
InHand InRouter900 Industrial Router — supports high-frequency data collection (100–200ms intervals), stable 4G/5G transmission, and seamless connection between robots and cloud platforms.
3. Core Pain Points
Lack of real-time robot data (arm position, speed, motor temperature)
Slow data collection can’t keep up with fast-moving mechanical arms
Delayed on-site maintenance causes production downtime
4. Solutions with InRouter900
Connect InRouter900 to each robot; collect real-time data (arm position, speed, motor temperature) at 150ms intervals.
Transmit data to the Industrial Robot Cloud Platform via 4G/5G.
The platform triggers instant fault alerts, enables remote maintenance, and generates operational analytics.
5. Implementation Results
Fault detection time cut from 1 hour to 10 minutes.
Production downtime reduced by 60% (fewer unplanned halts).
Remote maintenance resolves 40% of issues without on-site visits, saving 12 labor hours/week.
