Remote Monitoring and Recovery Now Offered for Kawasaki and Olis Robots; Cuts Downtime Costs Up to 90%
Olis Robotics is partnering with Kawasaki Robotics Inc. to offer their customers the ability to restart production faster, reduce troubleshooting and downtime costs by up to 90%, and gain access to expert support quickly.
Olis users connect directly to their robots through an on-premises device via a secure connection, avoiding the risks and complexities associated with cloud-based systems. To ensure physical safety, Olis is designed to always obey the robot controller's safety restrictions.
The system, which handles multiple SKUs of unstructured products, is equipped with Olis Robotics remote error recovery software that lets attendees experience how the system alerts users when the robot unexpectedly stops, and when picking or placing a part fails. After a system failure, the attendees can use Olis to run a tool inspection routine and perform remote error recovery, allowing the robot to resume its cycle and get back to work.
"We're seeing a growing demand for remote robot monitoring and recovery capabilities; adding Olis to our industrial robots is a game changer for the market," says Paul Marcovecchio, Director GI Business Unit, Kawasaki Robotics Inc.:
"Our new partnership supports the industry gamut from smaller first-time end users and their integrator partners up to more complex AI-driven applications in larger plants. All stakeholders can now easily and cost-effectively monitor, access and recover their robot cells remotely," says Marcovecchio, emphasizing how Olis Robotics has taken the time to understand the adaptation barriers. "As a result, they created a powerful tool that also addresses end-user concerns such as cyber security or the need to retrofit machines."
The Olis remote monitoring and error recovery solution will be available for any Kawasaki robot model starting Q2 of 2024.
