Whether for condition monitoring, asset management or predictive maintenance – with KUKA iiQoT you increase the uptime of your robots. The tool serves as a self-help tool, giving you easy-to-access information about your robot fleet and helping with quick troubleshooting. Beyond this, iiQoT offers a link to our Customer Service, so that you can always get help from our experts when you need it.
In the KUKA Marketplace you can also order the software directly. All you need is a my.KUKA registration.
The KUKA iiQoT condition monitoring system features a modular software architecture.?The IIoT platform contains individual modules for condition monitoring, including predictive maintenance, which can be customized at any time according to customer requirements. Upon establishing a secure connection via an edge gateway, the robot fleet data is located in the KUKA cloud and can be viewed by you and only you from anywhere.?
Set your own rules for messages for events and limit violations, messages and variables. Condition Monitoring thus provides the user with automated records in order to detect sources of faults in critical process steps and to minimize long-term time losses in production through improvements.?
The connection between the edge gateway and the KUKA cloud is well protected:
An edge gateway is used as a gateway between the robots in the production shop and the connection to the cloud. Security at this junction is important and provided by several factors:
A connection to the KUKA Line Interface (KLI) or, alternatively, to the KUKA Optional Network Interface (KONI) is required for data transmission. KONI has the advantage that it also enables a clear separation of the network and solves the problem of multiple assignment for IP addresses.?
All KUKA robots with a KSS 8.3 operating system (or higher) are immediately iiQoT-ready.?
Record of changes to the robot system and robot programs over a defined period of time. These data can be used to trace the last influences on the system in the event of a malfunction. As a result, it accelerates root cause analysis in the event of a robot standstill in production.
Transfer of KUKA diagnostic files directly from iiQoT to KUKA with just 3 clicks.?Users benefit from the efficiency savings in their working time by dispensing with the physical procurement of the file (from the office to the robot controller) and eliminating the need for familiarization/explanation for new employees.
Visualization of the robot program sequence in terms of cycle time and energy consumption: this makes it possible to detect cycle time bottlenecks as well as to assess energy consumption or the effects of program changes.
With the KUKA iiQoT.Basic version, you can leverage of the advantages of the IoT solution for robot monitoring: Any number of robots, no time limit. Using my.KUKA, you can independently connect the entire robot fleet to the IIoT cloud – without implementing further sensors or components. Additional costs, for example for licenses, are no longer incurred.?
Asset Manager
This module provides a clear overview of all relevant information regarding the hardware, software, mechanical equipment and controller and serves as a central springboard into other modules. The high-performance Asset Manager filters facilitate work: Robots can be classified, searched and found based on their location as well as their user-defined attributes.
Changelog
A log that transparently shows what has happened in the past: here, you receive a detailed list of all changes – automatically and in digitalized form. You can track hardware, software and configuration changes. Beyond this, further, user-defined changes?to the robot system (power supply, gear units, oil changes)?can be recorded manually.
Notifications
Informed immediately: you promptly receive information about relevant robot events in your production (standstills, misuse, altered cycle times, etc.) by e-mail. This occurs proactively – even if you are not currently online. For creating the notification rules, the customer has access to robot variables, KUKA and customer-specific messages. Once created, they are available to all other users and each can individually activate their relevant messages.
Robot IT Security
Monitor the *protection of the robot* using security software from KUKA. In addition to the status and activity of these technology packages, you will also find the open ports of your robots aggregated via iiQoT.
Maintenance Manager
Better plan maintenance tasks with the Industrial Internet of Things: Maintenance Manager identifies the?maintenance requirements of all robots – in a clear and well-structured manner. This includes ongoing as well as future requirements.
Always in view: Condition Monitoring provides both current and historical condition data for the robot. It thus supports the search for trends and irregularities. In addition to mechanical data, control data?are also captured and visualized.?
Messages from the robot allow critical events and fault hotspots to be quickly identified. They also support fault diagnosis and make a valuable contribution to the optimization of operation.?Messages can be analyzed and displayed by frequency or in historical order.
A module for detecting causes of faults in order to act quickly: Fault Diagnosis helps to detect the causes of faults and to minimize the mean time to repair after a failure – and thus production losses.
You receive faster and easier help from KUKA Service thanks to uncomplicated data sharing.?Examples of this include a ticket system as well as the integration of various offers such as the my.KUKA customer portal, KUKA Xpert digital knowledge database, KUKA Load and more.
With the fee-based KUKA iiQoT.Advanced premium version, we offer you additional applications beyond the core functions that enable you to plan maintenance and servicing work even more precisely, to avoid downtime, to optimize production cycles and to measure energy consumption.
Expansions with KUKA iiQoT.Advanced
Advanced iiQoT modules
Anomaly Detection
Avoid unexpected downtime with diagnosis of changes and anomalies in the robot system.
Cycle Time Analysis
Cycle times are displayed on a program-specific basis. The results enable the display of changes and their effects in the event of an intervention in the robot process and allow for their optimization if necessary.
Energy Consumption Analysis
Energy consumption is displayed in a program-specific manner. The results can be used to demonstrate the energy consumption per program, process and component. This makes it possible to illustrate the effects of robot interventions in the process and to optimize them if necessary.
Integration of KUKA.Load Analysis
Check whether your robots are overloaded or if the tools are within the permissible nominal working range and whether the robot tools have the correct tool load data. Benefit from longer durability for your robot arm and ideal positioning accuracy and path planning.?
Backup Management
Manually save the data of the current work project in the cloud.
