Olis Robotics (Seattle, WA) announces a remote monitoring, diagnostic, and error recovery app that runs on any Android phone or tablet and connects directly to a programmable logic controller (PLC) without any additional hardware required.
By connecting their mobile device to a PLC through the new Olis app, users can control a robot arm and view live video of a remote robot with telemetry data overlaid. The Olis app synchronizes real-time video with system logs, providing a complete picture of what went wrong. Engineers can resolve problems remotely, saving time and unnecessary travel.
According to Olis, setup takes less than five minutes, making it an efficient retrofit for legacy automation systems. Users download the Olis app onto an Android tablet or phone and connect to an ethernet connection to the controller. Once connected, they can configure IP addresses and start connecting diagnostic data.
Engineers can set up alerts regarding irregular activity before it escalates into a costly and uscheduled hard stop. The Olis app also supports screen-sharing, enabling troubleshooting teams to collaborate in real time.
In addition to receiving synchronized telemetry and video in parallel, engineers can set up alerts regarding irregular activity before it escalates into a costly hard stop. The Olis app also supports screen-sharing functionality, enabling troubleshooting teams to collaborate in real-time. For customized workflows, users can set up special tags and filters to customize Olis to their operational needs.
