Data collection and management system for welding robots

With the entry of various digital welding robots into the factory, the traditional manual supervision method cannot meet the requirements for robots monitoring and management.Some enterprises that adopt multiple robot brands and medium production scale as the welding production mode need a low-cost, highly adaptable platform to uniformly manage various welding robots.Therefore, an adaptable welding robots data collection and management system was developed.The system could be divided into data communication module and equipment management module.The communication module was developed with the C/S architecture, and the NIO server was built through the Netty framework to receive real-time data.The basic communication framework developed at the same time could adapt to a variety of communication protocols and connect robots of different brands.The management module was developed using the B/S architecture implemented by Spring MVC framework.Combined with the real-time data collected, a unified platform was developed to manage, monitor and maintain various brands of robots, as well as display historical data.It was proved that the system could realize unified supervision of different brands of robots, and could work stably in the actual production environment for a significant amount of time.Highlights:(1)Based on the developed basic communication framework, the data communication module can adapt to various communication protocols, and support the remote update of communication programs.(2)The robot management system could quickly connect various robots, and realize unified monitoring, maintenance and management of different robots.
