Olis Robotics has entered a partnership with Kawasaki Robotics, aiming to revolutionize industrial robot management, partner publication Automation World reports.
Their collaboration introduces remote error recovery technology for Kawasaki robots, promising a substantial reduction in troubleshooting and downtime costs by up to 90%, along with faster production restarts and expert support accessibility.
The key innovation lies in an on-premises device provided by Olis, establishing a secure internet connection to circumvent the complexities and risks associated with cloud-based systems. This partnership fills a critical gap in the industry, offering an added layer of trend management, remote monitoring and error recovery not native to major robot platforms.
At Modex 2024, the joint exhibit showcased a robotic corner board system integrated with a mixed palletizing and depalletizing cell, demonstrating the practical application of the Olis-Kawasaki collaboration. The system, handling multiple SKUs of unstructured products, employs Olis Robotics' remote error recovery software to promptly alert users to unexpected robot stops or part-handling failures.
Fredrik Ryden, CEO of Olis Robotics, emphasized the significance of visualization capabilities, enabled by 5G connectivity, allowing users worldwide to diagnose issues promptly.
