A method for collecting and pushing data from an industrial robot controller to at least one data consumer operating a consumer server, implementing a consumer data format and communication protocol, the method including the following steps implemented by a control unit of the industrial robot controller:

Method for enabling industrial collector to send telemetry data to multiple consumers

The invention concerns a method, arrangement and computer program product for distributing processing for a first robot in a cell among more than one processing entities. The arrangement includes a processing entity determining unit that obtains data about current limitations in the processing environment of a prospective processing entity intended to perform a processing task for the first robot, determines, based on the processing environment limitations, whether a performance requirement will be fulfilled or not if the task is performed in the prospective processing entity, and assigns the processing task for processing in the prospective processing entity or in at least one other processing entity based on the determining of whether the performance requirement is fulfilled or not.

Dynamic allocation of processing tasks for a robot cell

A method for controlling an industrial robot are disclosed, wherein the method is performed by a robot controller system, the robot controller system includes a local part connected to an industrial robot and a remote cloud part connectable to the local part. The local part includes a first real-time partition and a second non-real-time partition, and the method includes the steps of: storing a local cache of a complete file system of the robot controller system in the second non-real-time partition; storing the complete file system in the remote cloud part; and controlling the industrial robot in real time from the first real-time partition.

Robot controller system and method therefor

A method and a device for verifying one or more safety volumes for a movable mechanical unit positioned in an environment, wherein a world-coordinate system is defined in relation to the mechanical unit and in relation to the environment of the mechanical unit. The method includes storing a description of one or more safety volumes defined in relation to the world-coordinate system, and repeatedly determining position and orientation of a portable display unit in relation to the world-coordinate system, determining a graphical representation of the safety volumes based on the description of the safety volumes and the position and orientation of the portable display unit, overlaying the graphical representation of the safety volumes on a view of the real mechanical unit and its environment to provide a composited augmented reality image, and displaying the augmented reality image on the portable display unit.
