挑战
在 2015 年起步后，Smart Robotics 立即开始考虑远程访问。 “对我们来说，能够远程访问我们所有的系统以了解它们的行为方式非常重要，”Heico 说。因此，Smart Robotics 的目标是在出现问题时尽快与客户取得联系，远在客户与他们联系之前。
起初，Smart Robotics 考虑是否应该开发自己的解决方案，或者是否最好将开发外包并寻找外部合作伙伴。他们的结论？事实证明，对建立高度安全连接的能力的信心对于 Smart Robotics 至关重要。 “安全地收集数据并远程访问我们的系统，”Heico 解释说。 “在某种程度上，客户确信开放网络不会导致安全漏洞。”

关于客户
Smart Robotics成立于2015年，旨在开发智能、灵活、安全、人性化的机器人解决方案。凭借其三个业务部门——包装、物流和孵化器——Smart Robotics 服务于多个不同的市场，均位于 Ne
解决方案
Smart Robotics 选择 IXON 作为他们值得信赖的合作伙伴，以保证从他们的机器人到云的安全连接。 IXON 和 Smart Robotics 之间的合作从一开始就存在。 “我们通过实施一个相当复杂的系统来争取高度的灵活性，这对我们的客户应该是用户友好的。这正是 IXON 所做的，因此我们的理念非常一致，”Heico 说。较短的沟通渠道、快速行动的能力和做出调整的意愿也被视为一大优势。
“你把即插即用路由器放在你的控制柜里，它就可以工作了。全世界，甚至在中国。”
– Heico Sandee，智能机器人
每个机器人都带有一个 IXrouter。当机器人出现故障时，Smart Robotics 现在可以轻松远程登录系统。 “我们可以控制系统并立即帮助客户找到合适的解决方案，”Heico 解释说。此外，机器人的新软件每月都会发布。 “我们还通过 IXON 平台进行这些更新，”Heico 说。 “我们甚至可以通过 IXON Cloud 接收从所有机器人收集的数据的统计数据。”

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
