Industry in Germany continues to see the maintenance and servicing of modern machines and systems as a challenge.

The failure of an industrial robot is associated with high costs. For the first time, local AI makes it possible to reliably implement predictive maintenance from the gearbox to the gripper without an expensive industrial PC and to take the collaboration, safety and intelligence of automated guided vehicles and cobots to the next evolutionary stage.
