Abstract
A robot data transfer method includes the step of collecting data from each of a plurality of robots in a multi-robot production facility in real-time. The data collected from the robots is then transferred in real-time from a controller of each of the robots to a first data collection device. Within the first data collection device, the data is buffered using a multi-segment queueing mechanism. The queueing mechanism is configured with a retention policy. The data is then transferred to a second data collection device based on the retention policy of the queueing mechanism of the first data collection device. The second data collection device analyzes the data and determines whether maintenance or optimization is necessary for any of the robots.
