Abstract: A robot monitoring system for monitoring and analyzing robot related data and displaying the data on a smart device is provided. The robot monitoring system comprises at least one robot in local communication with at least one robot controller. The at least one robot controller has local processing power for monitoring, gathering, and analyzing data related to the at least one robot. The data analysis results are formatted into a message file that is communicated to a storage system. The message file may then be retrieved by a smart device having software running thereon for displaying the results of the data analysis.

Abstract: A dynamic messaging system for factory automation devices that provides flexible data transport, presentation and scheduling. Custom message instructions are provided to robot controllers using configuration templates which are loadable without rebooting the controller or affecting ongoing operations of the robot. The configuration templates contain data definitions only and no executable code. Custom data messages are sent from the robot controller based on triggers, including periodic timers, transmission of a current message, change of device elements and programmatic requests. Custom message attributes such as transmission rate and priority can be set, and messages may include file attachments. A message template creator, external to the robot controller, creates the configuration templates, ensures message uniqueness and generates data ingestion schema. The schema are used by a cloud data parser to translate and load data into data tables, where the customer can analyze data from the messages using applications in a web portal.

Abstract: A robot data transfer method includes the step of collecting data from each of a plurality of robots in a multi-robot production facility in real-time. The data collected from the robots is then transferred in real-time from a controller of each of the robots to a first data collection device. Within the first data collection device, the data is buffered using a multi-segment queueing mechanism. The queueing mechanism is configured with a retention policy. The data is then transferred to a second data collection device based on the retention policy of the queueing mechanism of the first data collection device. The second data collection device analyzes the data and determines whether maintenance or optimization is necessary for any of the robots.
