Abstract
Example implementations described herein estimate parameters for equipment that cannot be sensed directly, including determining if such equipment is running or stopping. Example implementations determine the standard throughput per equipment and product, based on history of equipment production data, extract previous and next equipment of robotic arms on the line by using physical topology information of robot arms and equipment, senses and determines throughput of associated robot arms and compares the robot arm throughput with the standard throughputs of the previous and next equipment, which help determine whether the previous/next equipment have stopped.
