AI predictive maintenance function reduces maintenance costs for industrial robots by 20%
The AI predictive maintenance function in MELFA industrial robots solves the problem of unplanned machine failures and expensive downtimes.
The AI detects anomalies in drive components and issues corresponding warnings at an early stage.
The AI can analyze a large amount of data in real time and provide precise maintenance recommendations.
This means that maintenance work can be planned and carried out preventively, which increases the availability of the robots and reduces costs.
Optimum maintenance with AI predictive maintenance function
As we all know, you're always smarter afterwards. With artificial intelligence (AI), however, things are different!
The AI detects failing drive parts before anomalies in the robot's behavior become visible and issues an early warning. Production plant downtimes are reduced.
Predictive maintenance with the MELFA SmartPlus card for vertical articulated robots and SCARA robots offers an easy way to optimize the maintenance of robots.
The new functional solution MELFA SmartPlus is an
integrable add-on card for highly specialized, intelligent AI functions, including predictive maintenance.
The innovative MELFA SmartPlus card is
compatible with all our robot series - from the CR series to the FR series.
Functionalities of the AI predictive maintenance function
Calculation of the percentage wear of the robot's parts in real time through consumption and maintenance control
The highly intelligent preventive maintenance function monitors consumption and maintenance based on the actual use of the robot.
The following information can be read out:
- Display of the percentage consumption of the robot
- Indication of the time until inspection or replacement
- Recommendation of a maintenance cycle
- Divided into grease, toothed belt, gear, bearing and ball screw of the individual axes, if available
Evaluation of product service life by means of a maintenance simulation
The AI function Predictive Maintenance shows a simulation in the RT toolbox without a robot or online with a robot. This makes it possible to directly determine the service life of the individual components in the event of changes to the program or environmental conditions.
-> Important decision-making basis for e.g. repositioning a robot to increase its service life
-> Cost savings through optimization of the program or cycle time
Notifications about upcoming maintenance prevent expensive downtime
Display a warning or output a signal:
- at a certain consumption
- at a certain number of days remaining before the inspection
Batch management of maintenance information and maintenance history
- Options for backing up from the robot to a computer
- Transferring maintenance data from a computer to a robot
- Resetting the consumption counter after maintenance
- Pausing individual notifications, either the alarm or the signal output
- “Logging” of notifications and replacement of parts
