Intelligent Energy Profiling for Decentralized Fault Diagnosis of Automated Production Systems

The proliferation of energy management systems leads to new potentials of data acquisition that can deliver improved machine information through intelligent linking. In addition to energy controlling, the newly gotten database creates further use cases for advanced purposes. This paper presents an exemplary application of a diagnostic scenario for industrial robots. For this objective, data fusion of energy data and operating logs is necessary to obtain detailed knowledge of the behavior of a production system. Hereby, an online measurement system will be described, which helps to uncover inefficiencies in production systems.
