B&R Industrial Automation: Advanced system diagnostics via the Web

B&R’s latest version of their System Diagnostics Manager (SDM) includes a range of powerful new diagnostic functions providing access to information about system hardware and software from anywhere in the world.

Ready-made diagnostic applets can be easily integrated directly into applications. Since all service functions necessary for a machine or systems are already integrated in the System Diagnostics Manager, it can be launched from any PC without any installation whatsoever. The only requirement is a conventional Web browser. The appearance of the System Diagnostics Manager can also be individually customized to match the look and feel of the machine or systems manufacturer who is using it. Users can quickly access current drive values such as speed, position, enable status or the status of onboard inputs. An axis error list also provides information in table form about errors that are still outstanding as well as those that have already been acknowledged. SDM can also be used to easily access and operate oscilloscopes that are integrated in drives.

Brands and CPGs have their own sustainability goals to hit, and data telling them how practically recoverable their existing and future packaging design actually are, in the real world would be worth in gold. AI-based pick-and-place robotic sortation cells at MRFs can deliver that data.

According to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the carton format had the lowest environmental footprint of all the options, which compared PCR, molded fiber, glass, aluminum, and paper cartons. Using cartons to refill more durable rPET bottles makes the whole system bathroom- and shower-worthy, since the cartons themselves deteriorate in wet environments.
