Predictive Maintenance Gains Importance for Robot Uptime in Automated Factories
Advanced Technology Services (ATS) highlights the growing significance of predictive maintenance as factories increase their reliance on robots. With millions of industrial robots in operation globally, unexpected failures can disrupt entire production lines. Predictive maintenance utilizes equipment data, such as vibration and temperature, to identify potential faults before they cause downtime. This approach allows for condition-based maintenance decisions, improving asset availability, productivity, and enabling better parts planning and safer repair scheduling.
Why it matters
Predictive maintenance helps manufacturers reduce unplanned downtime and extend the life of robotic assets.
