Implementations set forth herein relate to triaging of robots at an industrial facility using generated snapshots that can be based on an operating status of various features of each particular robot. The snapshots can be generated from data generated by each robot and/or data observed for a particular robot, such as images captured of a particular robot. Each snapshot can be utilized to estimate a likelihood or probability that each robot can complete the task without first visiting a service station. When a probability for a particular task is satisfied, the robot predicted to complete the task can be assigned to the particular task. Alternatively, or additionally, when certain estimated probabilities do not satisfy a threshold for completing the task, each robot associated with such an estimated probability can be directed to a service station of the industrial facility.

Triaging of robots in an industrial facility

A system that operates using Open Platform Communications (OPC) Unified Architecture (UA) includes: a redundant server set including a first OPC UA server and a second OPC UA server; an OPC UA client that designates an endpoint Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to communicate with the redundant server set; and a load balancer (LB) connected between the redundant server set and the OPC UA client. The OPC UA client sends a request for connection to the endpoint URL. The first OPC UA server is an active server. The second OPC UA server is a standby server. The LB proxies the connection to the first OPC UA server. The end point ULR is different from a URL of each of the first OPC UA server and the second OPC UA server.
