Robot Cell Data Logging
Data you do not record cannot be analysed later.
What to log
| Data | Use |
|---|---|
| Cycle times | Bottleneck analysis and improvement |
| Stop events | Availability analysis and root cause |
| Faults and alarms | Predictive maintenance signals |
| Quality results | Traceability and process control |
| Parameter changes | Change control and audit |
Practical implementation
- Decide what questions the data will answer before choosing the tools.
- Keep timestamps synchronised across devices.
- Agree retention and access rules up front.
Data collection must comply with site policy and applicable data protection rules.
