Analyze Process Data – Open Up Efficiency Potential

Do some of your production machineries stop too often due to errors, or do you see room for improvement in cycle time? Do you think your production processes are already perfectly optimized? The standalone version of our ArtiMinds Learning & Analytics for Robots (LAR) software identifies problems, error cases and hidden efficiency potential in your existing robot systems and automation processes. Continuous process monitoring and detailed analysis of sensor and robot data make it easy to find optimization opportunities, e.g. for greater robustness or shorter cycle times, and you can identify improvements at a glance. For process analysis, ArtiMinds LAR uses the hardware already integrated in the production machineries and interfaces such as OPC UA and can therefore be easily retroffited at any time – without additional new hardware investment.

Process Analysis, Optimization, Predictive Maintenance & Documentation

Imagine if you could minimize your troubleshooting, repair and retesting efforts and even prevent production downtime before it occurs. ArtiMinds LAR pursues a process-oriented approach and ensures maximum transparency. Long-term data acquisition and comparison can be used to determine wear on the workpiece, detect deviations between different product batches, uncover the causes of problems, optimize cycle times, shorten waiting times, improve quality, plan maintenance and minimize maintenance costs, and much more. Users benefit from synchronized data reconciliation between the robot controller or PLC and the sensor components, which would be difficult to implement manually. The software uses existing process data and already integrated hardware. New investments are therefore usually not necessary.

Continuous Process Monitoring – Without Additional Effort

What if there was hidden efficiency potential in your production facilities? ArtiMinds LAR records all data permanently and in real time. On the one hand, this increases transparency and processes can be analyzed much more precisely; on the other hand, you will never miss the decisive moment again. Because with ArtiMinds LAR you can “rewind” at any time and retrace the chain of events that led to a problem. ArtiMinds LAR already has extensive, preconfigured interfaces for industrial components, which greatly simplifies the connection of cameras and robots and the collection of data – without additional programming effort, e.g. via OPC UA interface. This makes it possible to detect deviations, reduce scrap and increase component quality as well as the degree of digitalization and traceability in production.

All Process Data at a Glance

Do you know what added value lies in your production data? With the ArtiMinds LAR analysis software, we provide a tool with which you can gain valuable insights into your robot processes through transparent preparation and interpretation of production data to get the best out of this insights – from commissioning to running production. Data acquisition takes place in the background, automatically and continuously. ArtiMinds LAR is able to collect a wide range of data from all available sensors, such as forces, energy consumption, hardware wear, etc., and is therefore the central monitoring point. The software uses cloud technology, which gives you freedom during implementation: Data storage on-premises in the data center, as an edge device on the store floor or under the desk. Thanks to its web-based user interface, LAR still offers access from anywhere in all scenarios. The added value of the LAR can also be used independently of robots. Brownfield systems can be retrofitted for this purpose with very little effort.
