Reliability metrics
Track mean time between failures, repair effort, uptime and intervention frequency.
Diagnostics
Logs and telemetry should allow operators to isolate mechanical, electrical and software faults.
Lifecycle support
Documentation, replacement parts, field training and security updates are part of the product.
Frequently asked questions
What is robot uptime?
The share of scheduled operating time when the system is available for its intended task.
Why do spares matter?
Long component lead times can increase downtime after otherwise minor faults.
