document: Optimize/sup IT / robot condition monitoring tool As robots have gained more and more ` humanlike ' capability , users have looked increasingly to their builders for ways to measure the critical variables-the robotic equivalent of a physical check-up-in order to monitor their condition and schedule maintenance more effectively . This is all the more essential considering the tremendous pressure there is to improve productivity in today 's global markets . Developed for ABB robots with an S4-family controller and based on the company 's broad process know-how , Optimize/sup IT / robot condition monitoring offers maintenance routines with embedded checklists that give a clear indication of a robot 's operating condition . It performs semi-automatic measurements that support engineers during trouble-shooting and enable action to be taken to prevent unplanned stops . By comparing these measurements with reference data , negative trends can be detected early and potential breakdowns predicted . Armed with all these features , Optimize/sup IT / robot condition monitoring provides the ideal basis for reliability-centered maintenance -LRB- RCM -RRB- for robots
