Industrial robot data acquisition sounds simple at first. ●Connect the robot. ●Read the data. ●Send it to the cloud.In real factories, it is usually not that clean. An industrial robot is often part of a wider production cell. Around it, there may be a PLC, fixtures, conveyors, sensors, safety devices, vision systems, end-of-arm tooling, meters, HMIs, and upper-layer monitoring systems. So the pr…

Risk assessment in manufacturing, construction or service systems are very important tools for ensuring occupational health and safety. Many risk assessment approaches have been proposed in the literature, each with its advantages and disadvantages. In the literature, the authors attempt to develop methods to overcome some of these disadvantages. Different risk priority orders can be obtained for…
