A method for analyzing data provided by a robot system located in a plant. The method includes operating a plurality of robots in the robot system and collecting first level data concerning operating parameters of each robot while they are being operated. The method further includes analyzing the first level data in a first data collection device located in the plant using first level analyzation software, analyzing the analyzed first level data collected in a second data collection device using second level analyzation software, and analyzing the analyzed second level data collected in a third data collection device in the cloud using third level analyzation software. A web portal outside of the plant can be used to gain access to the analyzed third level data.

Robotic application equipment monitoring and predictive analytics

A system for calibrating a multi-robot system includes a robot simulation device having a processor disposed therein for creating a simulation work cell of an operation of a real robot work cell, the robot simulation device configured to communicate with a robot control system controlling the robots of the real robot work cell. The simulation work cell is created based upon a predetermined layout of the real robot work cell. The system further includes a software program executed by at least one of the robot simulation device and the robot control system for calculating a part tracking offset between the simulation work cell and the real robot work cell for controlling the robots.
