Datanomix Partners With Flexxbotics on Robot Monitoring

Datanomix announces support for monitoring Universal Robots for real-time visibility into robot performance. By partnering with Flexxbotics, a leader in robotics process improvement technology, Datanomix extends its automated production intelligence coverage to Universal Robot cells, helping power lights-out and automated operations at precision manufacturers.

As part of the technology partnership with Flexxbotics, Datanomix gains access to real-time operational data for Universal Robots from Flexxbotics via their FlexxConnect platform. Advanced utilization and performance data for Universal Robots is collected and displayed in the Datanomix platform, offering insights into both cobot and CNC machine cycle time, part counts, run time and machine/robot status to enable precision manufacturers to make better-informed decisions around automating their factory. In addition, FlexxConnect is said to provide truly centralized and revision-controlled cobot and CNC program management capabilities, as well as guided workflows for both cobot operators and CNC operators.

“Our job is to provide manufacturers with the data and insights they need to help optimize their factory operations,” Greg McHale, co-founder and CTO of Datanomix, says. “Partnering with Flexxbotics delivers a turnkey integration with Universal Robots that offers deep insights into robot performance, cycle time, utilization and capacity, satisfying pent-up demand from our customers. And this is just the start of our collaboration to help automate more of our combined customers’ operations.”

With this initial integration, existing Flexxbotics customers can add Datanomix to their deployments, and similarly, Datanomix customers can add the Flexxbotics management platform to Universal Robot installations. Using Flexxbotics’ underlying technology, the Datanomix platform receives performance information directly from Universal Robots and visualizes it alongside the performance data from the CNC machines the robots empower.

The Datanomix platform automates the collection and analysis of manufacturing data and delivers deep insights into production performance, both in real-time and over-time. Additionally, the Flexxbotics platform is said to significantly increase cobot-tended CNC utilization and productivity through a suite of robot redeployment, robot monitoring, robot to CNC connectivity, guided workflow and robot/CNC program management solutions.
