Abstract: A method and a system for managing one or more industrial robots used by an enterprise over one or more of the phases of the asset lifecycle. Monitored data from the robot(s) is used to determine the occurrence of an event that affects the robot operation. The monitored data is transferred either regularly or upon the occurrence of a robot affecting event. The remote location estimates from the transferred data an optimized maintenance interval for the robot(s) and analyzes that data to provide a prediction of needed maintenance on the robot(s). The remote location can use the transferred monitored data to benchmark different features and functions of the robots for a particular robot or against a robot that performs the same function or can benchmark one of the robots against a robot in another enterprise.

Abstract: A method and a system for managing one or more assets used by an enterprise over one or more of the phases of the asset lifecycle. Information about the asset and data from the operation of the asset is stored in a server local to the facility. That information and data is made available to an enterprise level server that may be hosted by the asset supplier or located at the enterprise or at a facility external to the enterprise but not at the asset supplier. A computer program when executed presents the user with one or more windows that each provides information about either a single phase for the asset or one or more phases. The user can navigate in a window to select the asset or facility and the specific information to be viewed.
