For the transport of heavy trains inside the factory, equipment is needed that can move such a high weight back and forth. With the insufficient availability of KUKA AGV's it is time consuming to analyze and fix faults fast enough. For this reason, a solution had to be found that would improve the work with the giant transport vehicles.
By connecting KUKA AGV to Insights Hub, it is possible to quickly get an overview of all the data collected. Then the Node-RED connection to Insights Hub is set up with an OPC-UA gateway, which simplifies device management and data mapping.Variables are configured and mapped and with this collected data, useful dashboards are then created in the asset manager.
There are four main advantages for the customer. First and foremost, the direct data analysis with OEM, because fast access to the data means that production runs smoothly. Also the customer achieves maximum capacity utilization by increasing efficiency. Absolute adherence to delivery dates is of great importance for the customer and scheduled maintenance can fulfill this requirement. By connecting Node-RED to Insights Hub there is a 100% availability of the devices and data, in case of an error it is possible to intervene immediately. The fast reaction to changes saves time and costs.
