Certification and Regulatory Compliance

Before a robot can be delivered to the customer, it must undergo a thorough certification process.

This involves comprehensive testing to ensure compliance with safety, performance, and operational standards set by relevant regulatory authorities.

WizGen streamlines this process by automating the creation of checklists for all required tests, while WizShield ensures that each test is performed accurately and in full alignment with regulatory requirements.

Testing and Quality Assurance

At various stages of production, rigorous testing and quality assurance measures are implemented.

This includes non-destructive testing (e.g., X-ray inspection, ultrasonic testing) to ensure structural integrity, functional testing of systems and equipment, and overall performance testing.

Any issues or defects identified during testing are addressed and rectified.

Maintenance Planning

machines and robots operators develop maintenance plans based on regulatory requirements, manufacturer recommendations, and their own maintenance programs.

These plans outline scheduled maintenance tasks, including routine inspections, preventive maintenance, and component replacements.

PROMAI’s WizGen automates the creation of maintenance, fault isolation procedures that are complete and validated.

Maintenance & Fault-Isolation

Maintenance and fault isolation are crucial aspects of robotics production to ensure the safe and efficient operation of assembly lines.

Maintenance includes routine inspections, servicing, repairs, and the replacement of components to keep the manufacturing process in optimal condition.

Fault isolation, meanwhile, involves identifying and troubleshooting issues or malfunctions within the robotic systems or components.

Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance involves routine inspections and servicing at specified intervals.

This includes checks of systems, structures, engines, and other components to ensure they are functioning properly and within acceptable limits.

Regular maintenance tasks may include lubrication, filter replacement, fluid checks, and system functional tests.

Integrating WizShield tracks the different steps and alerts for any maintenance procedure that should be performed, Using WizOpt will maximize operation time of each robot component.

Unscheduled Maintenance

Unscheduled maintenance occurs when a robotic system encounters an unexpected issue or failure.

This could result from a system malfunction, component failure, or another unforeseen event. Technicians assess the problem, troubleshoot it, and perform the necessary repairs to restore the system to optimal working condition.

PROMAI’s WizSuite generates comprehensive fault isolation procedures, enabling quick identification and isolation of issues. This capability significantly reduces repair time, streamlining maintenance for the entire fleet.

Fault Isolation

Fault isolation in the industrial robotics world presents significant challenges due to the complexity of robotic systems, intricate interdependencies between hardware and software, and the high variability of operating environments. Identifying the root cause of a fault requires in-depth knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and control systems, making the process time-consuming and prone to human error.

Various diagnostic tools, such as built-in test equipment (BITE), computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), and diagnostic manuals, are used to assist in the fault isolation process.

PROMAI’s Field innovative Fault Isolation solution addresses these challenges by utilizing smart decision trees and ultra-fast diagnostic tests to pinpoint issues rapidly. This solution guides technicians through atomic, verifiable corrective steps, ensuring precise fault resolution with minimal downtime, ultimately improving system reliability and operational efficiency.

Troubleshooting and Repair

Once the fault is isolated, technicians use their expertise and technical manuals to diagnose the specific problem and develop a repair plan. This may involve replacing faulty components, adjusting settings, repairing wiring or connections, or recalibrating systems.
Technicians follow manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices to ensure accurate and effective repairs. PROMAI’s Field using the data aggregated by Gen assists in timely troubleshooting of any problem raises.

Inspection and Testing

PROMAI resolves testing issues in industrial manufacturing by embedding measurable tests and verifiable checks at every step of the production process.
