A method, arrangement and computer program product for determining overall equipment effectiveness of a robot cell including at least one industrial robot involved in producing products. The arrangement includes an effectiveness determination device, which in turn includes an overall equipment effectiveness determining unit that obtains ideal robot operations data of the robot cell, obtains actual robot operations data of the robot cell, and determines the overall equipment effectiveness based on the ideal robot operations data and the actual robot operations data.

Overall equipment effectiveness of a robot cell

The present invention relates to a system and a method for providing safe remote access to a plurality of robot controllers positioned at a local site for a person positioned on a remote site. The system includes a plurality of robot controllers, each capable of receiving credentials and including an authentication component for authentication of the credentials, and an authorization component for handling authorization for access to the robot controller based on the result of the authentication, a remote computer located at a remote site and capable of communicating with the robot controllers and having an interface capable of receiving credentials and configured to send the credentials to the robot controllers, a server component capable of communicating with the robot controllers, and an identifying component positioned at the local site configured to receive proof of local access.
