Grasp unexpected behavior of robot arms
If products are scratched at an unmanned site, it takes time to identify the cause because it is impossible to know what happened.
Recording robot behavior on each command enables you to understand the situation when a problem occurs and to quickly analyze the cause.
・ Recording trigger: Production command signal from PLC
・ Recording on a production lot basis
Grasp that the operator is working with the sterile machine door opened
When a defect occurs at a production site where sterile machines are used, it is difficult to identify the cause because the situation is unknown.
For example, the camera records a video showing the machine state before and after the particle volume abnormality, leading to identification of defect causes.
・ Recording trigger: Sensor installed for environmental measurement
・ Automatic recording before and after abnormality
The camera records a video showing the machine state for up to 60 minutes before and after the problem by being triggered by external input from the sensor or PLC or by TCP command input. This allows you to quickly understand what happened by replaying the video.
This software provides seven types of recording: Trigger Recording that includes Time Trigger, Motion Detection, and Master Image Comparison as well as external trigger input, Continuous Recording that records a video for up to one year, and Manual Recording for 60 minutes. It can be used for continuous remote monitoring of machine status, review of production problems, work process tracing for recall purposes, and many other industrial applications.
Videos before and after problems can be recoded by Motion Detection that uses the difference from the preceding image under specified conditions (see below), and Master Image Comparison.
You can remotely monitor the site status in real time without recording or continuously record for up to one year*1.

Omron offers a wide selection of more than 100 models of cameras to meet your needs.
The 19 mm square ultra-compact remote head camera can be installed in narrow spaces.
The 20.4 Mpix high-resolution camera can clearly record changes in machine state.
A 0.4 Mpix camera can record high-speed production lines as fast as 400 fps.
Omron’s broad portfolio of cameras, including a camera with a long cable required for wide-area recording to shoot the entire manufacturing site, can be freely combined with lenses for different fields of view. These combinations enable capturing wide and narrow areas at the same time, allowing you to accurately analyze problems by replaying the videos.
The camera and software bundle is ready for immediate use without the need for verification and programming which are required to build a system by combining general cameras with vision software. Recording can be started immediately by using input from the sensor or PLC installed at the production site as trigger.
