RoboMap simplifies information management for equipment and reduced maintenance time by robots and systems Grosskollnbach, 01.09.2010. RoboMap offers the software manufacturer CSP GmbH & co. KG, Grosskollnbach, specifically for the maintenance. RoboMap connects information from different areas around the equipment administration and reduces the downtime. The flexible solution allows companies to define the relevant information of a piece of equipment.
These include, for example, serial number, purchase order number, mounted arm extension as well as played a version of the software, fixed assigned IP addresses, location and further knowledge from the maintenance with a robot. The equipment information can be so very much easier to manage than ERP systems, which are extended to fields for maintenance. In practice, these systems often come to their limits, if more information should be stored. Then be faced with the choice: either hire a costly extension or on a stop-gap solution use to store information in fields, which are so far unused. Both delayed the exchange of information for a quick maintenance of Assembly experience. In RoboMap, the user, however, enter all the information in a concise form and can also easily filter them. If still no field is defined for a piece of information, the administrator can define afterwards just a new field without programming effort. This approach enables a comprehensive flow of information for all those involved and is a prerequisite for a quick maintenance.
Companies shorten the downtime of the plant in the long term through better exchange of information. Total capacity can utilized significantly better, without increasing the organizational effort itself. An extended ERP system is not always useful for maintenance. Because there, the requirements are very specific, it is easier for the user when new properties are entered by own administrators can”, describes Heike Johannes, product manager RoboMap, the requirements of the practice. Otherwise, budgets for software adaptation must be provided constantly.
