MachineMetrics, a leader in machine connectivity and production analytics for manufacturers, announces the availability of its Connector for Universal Robots (UR) to easily connect to and capture valuable data from any UR equipment. This latest connector, now available through the UR+ program to all current UR cobot users, enables instant insights into the health and performance of their cobots. According to MachineMetrics, manufacturers can now maximize the uptime of their cobots to increase productivity and drive additional throughput with no additional headcount.
MachineMetrics says that by connecting UR cobots to its system, users can gain real-time insights into cobot productivity, alert teams when issues arise and remotely troubleshoot and diagnose issues to get the cobot back up and running.
MachineMetrics’ connectivity system is designed so that customers can capture data from any piece of factory floor equipment in minutes. Users can reportedly install it themselves without the need for expensive and time-consuming system-integration work. Once installed, the data is instantly and securely streamed to the MachineMetrics Cloud Platform where users can visualize and analyze data from any asset. The company automates its insights for frontline workers and into factory systems so manufacturers can quickly identify and address areas of operational improvement on the shop floor.
