Real-time anomaly detection of FANUC ROBONANO located at MINLAB - Equipment Status


Why do we do it?

Manufacturing is responsible for almost 45% of total energy consumption in the US and a similar portion in other countries. Machine energy consumption accounts for a big portion of 45% and thus understanding how machine tools consume energy helps to minimize energy consumption by design optimization of the machine tools, strategic operation control, energy balance on the production line, and energy footprint and control of supply chain. Monitoring and control of horizontal and vertical integration of total manufacturing infra can be achieved by IIoT (Industrial Internet of Thing) with a similar manufacturing paradigm called smart manufacturing, digital manufacturing, and industry 4.0.
