Artificial intelligence improves maintenance management for robots

摘要

As with any asset, robots will run at peak efficiency when operators have access to predictive maintenance tools. Barry Weller, product manager at Mitsubishi Electric, looks at how Al-based predictive analytics can support predictive maintenance of robots and how this can benefit users. Both standard industrial robots and collaborative robots can create new opportunities for streamlining production and assembly operations. But like any other machine, robots require maintenance to optimise their performance.
