IoT in Robotics

One of the biggest issues in robotics is the maintenance of technology. Depending on the type of machinery, its failure can lead to either a short-term loss of production or catastrophic results for the new business. Even though most of them come with a recommended maintenance cycles, it can still vary depending on the fault of the model or the working environments wearing it out. Running the maintenance once in a fixed amount of time will not guarantee that you are safeguarded from the shutdown. This is when the Internet of things comes into play. With increasingly cheap and available sensors you can make your robots monitor themselves or even each other. They will constantly gather information about their performance and notify about the results instantly. After analysing the data, you will know how the machinery performs and when the maintenance operations are due. By having this data, you can fix the problem before it reaches a critical point and saves a huge sum of money on main
