RF::SCOUT® – precision in the analysis of production processes

RF::SCOUT® is a process analysis system that supports planners, process managers, programmers, commissioning engineers, machine operators, optimizers and suppliers. It connects to PLC and robotic systems as well as IoT data sources to transform raw data into real-time production and cycle time charts. This tool makes it easy to navigate complex workloads, uncover bottlenecks, check cycle times, and develop energy optimizations. It identifies critical areas and provides comprehensive collision data.

As part of RF::SUITE®, RF::SCOUT® includes several specialized analysis tools:

The Interlock Check analyzes programmed interlocks in the robot programs and checks all possible interactions between robots to detect potential collisions and avoid production downtime. The defined locks are checked for consistency in an interlock matrix. A compact overview of potential collisions is provided and can be checked within the 3D visualization. The analysis can be pre-filtered by selecting specific programs and exported as an HTML report. With the integrated RF::Shift it is possible to adapt digital systems to the real position of the system.

The process analysis offers a detailed overview of the process data that can be recorded live, imported from planning values or PLC programs, loaded from a template or created manually. The Signalyser acts as an oscilloscope to view the recording signals in detail and derive process descriptions from them. A Gantt chart lists the individual processes in detail, which can be adjusted and optimized at any time. Different modes allow deeper insights into the analyzed data, such as calculating average cycle time, workload and histograms. These tools can be used to optimize processes in terms of cycle time, output and process stability.

With RF::SCOUT® we offer you a powerful tool to optimize your production processes and maximize efficiency!
