Description:PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to industrial automation and robotics. Specifically, the invention is related to the field of predictive maintenance for industrial robots, which uses machine learning algorithms to analyze operational data and generate maintenance predictions. The invention can find applications in various industries where industrial robots are used, such as manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing.
Background
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Industrial robots have become increasingly popular in manufacturing and production industries due to their high precision and efficiency. They can perform tasks that are difficult or dangerous for humans, and they can work continuously without getting tired or making errors. However, these robots are also subject to wear and tear, which can lead to failure and downtime.
[0004] To prevent such failures and minimize downtime, predictive maintenance systems have been developed for industrial robots. These systems use various sensors to monitor the robot's performance and collect data on factors such as vibration, temperature, and current draw. Machine learning algorithms are then used to analyze this data and identify patterns that indicate potential problems.
[0005] The predictive maintenance system can then generate maintenance recommendations based on this analysis, such as replacing a worn-out part or adjusting the robot's operating parameters. By addressing potential issues before they lead to failure, predictive maintenance systems can reduce downtime, increase productivity, and save maintenance costs. Few prior arts are listed below.

[0007] CN112650195A (By: BEIJING CASI SMART MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT) The invention discloses an equipment fault maintenance method and device based on cloud side cooperation. The method comprises the steps o acquiring historical operation data and real-time operation data of equipment; and sending the historical operation data to a cloud control center to enable the cloud control center to train a fault prediction model according to the historical operation data, receiving the fault prediction model and a fault prediction application sent by the cloud control center by an edge computing center, and analyzing the real-time operation data of the equipment by adopting the fault prediction model to generate an analysis result, wherein the fault prediction application displays the real-time operation data and the analysis result of the equipment. The embodiment of the invention can be realized as follows: 1, the real-time performance of data acquisition and fault analysis is enhanced, and the maintenance difficulty of the robot is reduced; and 2, the state prediction of the target equipment is realized at an edge, the waiting time for uploading the data to the cloud computing platform is saved, and every minute of the predictive maintenance work of the industrial equipment is fully used.
[0008] CN114055516A (By: HEFEI XINYIHUA INTELLIGENT MACHINE) The invention discloses a fault diagnosis and maintenance method, system and device, and a storage medium. The invention aims to solve the technical problem that targeted maintenance cannot be carried out according to the operation state of a robot in a use process in the prior art. The fault diagnosis and maintenance method comprises the following steps: receiving joint movement data of a robot joint, judging a size relationship between the joint movement data and a fault threshold value, and determining a current life stage of the joint according to the size relationship; inputting the joint motion data into a fault degree model for calculation, and predicting the next life stage of the joint, wherein the life stages comprise a fault-tolerant stage, a degradation stage and a fault stage, and the fault degree model is used for calculating the next predicted life stage of the joint according to the joint movement data; and when the next operation state of the joint is a fault state, sending prompt information to a user to prompt that the joint needs to be maintained.
[0009] Despite the benefits of predictive maintenance systems, current systems have some limitations. For example, they may have limited data collection capabilities or lack real-time analysis, meaning that potential issues may not be detected until they have already caused a failure. Additionally, current systems may have insufficient accuracy in predicting failures, leading to unnecessary maintenance or unexpected downtime.
[00010] Therefore, there is a need for a more advanced predictive maintenance system that can overcome these limitations and provide more accurate and timely maintenance recommendations. This new system should be able to collect data in real-time, analyze it using advanced machine learning algorithms, and generate precise maintenance recommendations that can prevent potential issues and maximize the reliability and efficiency of industrial robots.
