OnRobot Makes Software Debut with WebLytics Solution for Collaborative Applications
ODENSE, Denmark, Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

WebLytics brings remote monitoring, device diagnostics, and data analytics 
capabilities to OnRobot's line of collaborative application-focused hardware 
solutions.


OnRobot, the One Stop Shop for collaborative robot applications, makes its 
software debut with the launch of WebLytics( 
https://onrobot.com/en/products/weblytics-production-monitoring-software), a 
unique production monitoring, device diagnostics, and data analytics solution 
designed to enhance productivity and minimize downtime. 

Capable of monitoring the performance of multiple collaborative applications 
simultaneously and in real-time, WebLytics gathers equipment data from both 
robots and tools and transforms it into easy-to-understand, visualized device 
and application-level intelligence. 

"The launch of WebLytics is an important landmark for OnRobot, our customers, 
and our global integrator network," says Enrico Krog Iversen, CEO of OnRobot. 
"WebLytics is the first software solution to provide real-time, 
application-focused data for collaborative applications across major robot 
brands. As our first software product, WebLytics marks the beginning of 
OnRobot's journey into robot software and completes our vision of providing a 
One Stop Shop for collaborative applications on both the hardware and software 
side." 

For end users and integrators, WebLytics not only eliminates manual data 
collection -- it provides actionable insights into how well a collaborative 
application is performing, offering live device diagnostics, alerts and 
preventive maintenance measures to keep costly robot cell downtime to a 
minimum.  

Integrating the globally recognized overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) 
industry standard, WebLytics identifies trends in real-time in the robot cell, 
including patterns, peaks, and disturbances in application productivity. OEE 
measures the percentage of manufacturing time that is truly productive – a 
score of 100% indicates that the collaborative application is producing only 
good parts, as fast as possible, and with no downtime. Leveraging these OEE 
measures, WebLytics can determine whether the manufacturing process is running 
at optimal speed and can monitor and analyze the quality of application cycles 
–key insights for manufacturers of all sizes. 

WebLytics can report on utilization of the robot arm and OnRobot tools such as 
grippers, vision cameras, and sensors, as well as the number of safety stops 
initiated, and the number of grip cycles performed while an application is 
running. 

When changes are made to a robot cell, such as adjusting the speed of a robot 
or the settings on a gripper, WebLytics can also automatically report on the 
impact of those changes on application performance. 

If anomalies occur in the collaborative application after deployment, WebLytics 
enables users to analyze the data collected directly from the robot(s) and 
tools and report on its findings using customizable dashboards. 

Laszlo Papp, Product Manager & Sales Engineer at Wamatec Hungary Kft., tested 
WebLytics on machine tending, pick & place, and palletizing applications: 

"In this fast-paced world, time is everything. When cycle time is really 
important, WebLytics helps you identify the small mistakes that cause time 
wastage," he said. "WebLytics can also save a lot of time for yourself and for 
your production line by making it easy to schedule all maintenance and product 
changes. My favorite function was the dashboard. I really liked how WebLytics 
allowed me to monitor all my applications, my cobots/robots, and my 
end-of-arm-tools using one platform that provides real time monitoring, data 
collection and line charting. WebLytics makes optimizing all applications much 
easier than before." 

WebLytics retains the ease-of-use, affordability, application focus and 
accessibility that defines every OnRobot product. Compatible with all leading 
collaborative robot and lightweight industrial robot arms and with all OnRobot 
tools, WebLytics is readily expandable, futureproofing it as new robots and 
tools become available. Access to WebLytics' is provided through a secure, 
intuitive browser-based user interface, that displays OEE measures and 
user-defined KPIs through customizable dashboards that provide an immediate and 
transparent view into real-time and historical application performance. 

The WebLytics server can be deployed on a shop floor's local network or added 
to a virtual network that connects to the robot cell. Collected data is stored 
locally on the WebLytics server. Meanwhile, WebLytics' built-in web server is 
always accessible from the shop floor network or from anywhere in the world via 
secure HTTPS connection. 

WebLytics is not just a powerful tool for end users; it also creates new 
revenue opportunities for system integrators, by providing the software 
required to offer their customers data-backed custom service agreements and 
engineering services for cell optimization. 

"WebLytics is the perfect addition to our existing product lines and a natural 
progression of the OnRobot tradition of making advanced tools and technologies 
— in this case remote monitoring, device diagnostics and data analytics — 
affordable and accessible to companies of all sizes," says Iversen. 

WebLytics is available worldwide via subscription from November 11, 2021.
