All Services

Humbotics Integration services include:

PLANNING AND ANALYSIS
• Define Objectives- Identify the specific goals and objectives for integrating the robot, such as improving efficiency, increasing production rates, or enhancing precision.
• Assess Requirements- Analyze the requirements for the robot system, including the type of robot needed, its capabilities, and how it will interact with existing equipment and processes.
• Evaluate Site- Conduct a site assessment to understand the physical and operational environment where the robot will be installed, including space constraints, power requirements, and safety considerations.

SYSTEM DESIGN
• Select Robot and Accessories- Choose the appropriate robot model, end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), sensors, and other accessories based on the application and requirements.
• Design Integration- Develop a detailed plan for integrating the robot with existing systems, including mechanical, electrical, and software interfaces.
• Develop Control Systems- Design or configure the control systems, including programming the robot’s PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or DCS (Distributed Control System), and ensuring compatibility with other control systems.

MECHANICAL INTEGRATION
• Install Robot- Physically install the robot in the designated location, including mounting it securely on a base or floor.
• Connect EOAT- Attach and configure end-of-arm tooling or other peripherals needed for the robot to perform its tasks.
• Setup Workstations- Arrange workstations or other machinery that the robot will interact with, ensuring proper alignment and integration.

ELECTRICAL INTEGRATION
• Wiring and Connections- Connect the robot to power sources, control systems, and other electrical components. This may include wiring sensors, actuators, and communication interfaces.
• Configure Electrical Systems- Ensure that all electrical components are configured correctly and that power supplies meet the robot’s requirements.

SOFTWARE INTEGRATION
• Program the Robot- Develop and upload the robot’s control programs, including tasks, sequences, and algorithms. This involves coding and configuring the robot’s movements and interactions.
• Integrate with Other Systems- Ensure that the robot’s software interfaces properly with other systems, such as production line controls, data acquisition systems, or quality control systems.
• Setup Communication Protocols- Establish communication protocols and interfaces for data exchange between the robot and other systems.

TESTING AND CALIBRATION
• Conduct Initial Testing- Perform initial testing to verify that the robot operates as expected and interacts correctly with other equipment and systems.
• Calibrate Robot- Fine-tune the robot’s settings and parameters to ensure accurate and consistent performance. This may include calibrating sensors and adjusting movements.
• Validate Integration- Test the integrated system under real operating conditions to validate performance and ensure that it meets the project’s requirements and goals.

TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION
• Train Personnel- Provide training to operators, maintenance staff, and other relevant personnel on how to use, operate, and maintain the robot system.
• Document Integration- Create detailed documentation of the integration process, including system configurations, programming code, wiring diagrams, and user manuals.

DEPLOYMENT AND SUPPORT
• Deploy System- Put the integrated robot system into full operation, monitoring its performance and making any necessary adjustments.
• Provide Support- Offer ongoing support and maintenance to address any issues that arise, perform regular updates, and ensure the system continues to operate efficiently.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
• Monitor Performance- Continuously monitor the robot’s performance and the overall system to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Optimize Processes- Implement changes or upgrades as needed to enhance efficiency, reduce downtime, or adapt to changing requirements.

Humbotics Decommissioning services include:

Removal of Robot and/or Cell

PLANNING AND DOCUMENTAION:
• Review Documentation- Gather all relevant documentation, including the robot cell layout, wiring diagrams, and operational manuals.
• Develop a Plan- Create a detailed decommissioning plan, including safety procedures, equipment to be removed, and a timeline.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
• Power Down- Ensure the robot cell and all associated equipment are powered down and disconnected from the electrical supply.
• Lockout/Tagout- Follow lockout/tagout procedures to prevent accidental energization during the decommissioning process.
• Safety Gear- Ensure that all personnel wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, and steel-toed boots.

DISCONNECT AND REMOVE EQUIPMENT:
• Disconnect Wiring- Carefully disconnect all electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic connections. Label wires and hoses for reinstallation if needed.
• Remove Robot and Components- Disassemble and remove the robot, end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), conveyors, sensors, and other components.
Remove Fixtures- Take out any fixtures or parts of the cell structure that are not part of the permanent facility setup.

DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING:
• Dispose of Hazardous Materials- Properly dispose of or recycle any hazardous materials such as batteries, hydraulic fluids, and electronic waste according to local regulations.
• Recycle Components- Sort and recycle metal, plastic, and other recyclable components.

SITE RESTORATION: Clean the Area- Clean the workspace to remove any debris, dust, or residues from the decommissioned cell.
• Inspect the Site- Check the area for any potential hazards or damage that needs to be addressed.

UPDATE DOCUMENTAION:
• Record Changes- Update facility and maintenance records to reflect the removal of the robot cell.
• Document Lessons Learned- Note any issues encountered during decommissioning to improve future processes.

NOTIFY STAFF:
• Inform Relevant Parties- Notify all relevant staff, including maintenance teams, production managers, and safety officers, about the decommissioning and any impacts on operations.
