Robotiq Launches INSIGHTS Software To Measure Universal Robots Performance
24/7 web app monitors robot cell and provides data to increase productivity
Québec City, Canada, September 12, 2017 - Robotiq launches the first software product to optimize Universal Robots performance. Insights is a web application that takes robot cell deployment to another level, letting users find out how productive their robotic operation was in any given period of time.
"Manufacturing engineers face a lack of visibility into their robots operational performance," explains Robotiq CTO Jean-Philippe Jobin. If you ask them how productive was their robot today, they do not have what it takes to answer. Insights gives real-time performance metrics, advanced optimization analytics and alerts. Altogether, this data allows engineers to react quickly to any weakness and reduce operational costs."
Built for Universal Robots, Insights provides key performance indicators allowing manufacturing engineers to improve their product quality and increase process efficiency. Automation engineers get the data to optimize robot performance by reducing cycle time and diagnosing failures.
Production managers see the long term trend in robot performance to improve planning and overall productivity. Insights Dashboard also gives the operators real-time status and alerts to simplify the production. Backed with valuable robot performance data from Insights, ROI will become crystal clear and help manufacturers plan future automation projects.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
