OnRobot Launches WebLytics: Real‑Time Monitoring & Analytics for Collaborative Robots

OnRobot, the leading provider of application‑focused collaborative robot hardware, has introduced WebLytics – its first software product. WebLytics is a production‑monitoring, diagnostics, and data‑analytics platform that tracks the performance of multiple collaborative applications in real time.

By collecting data from both robots and their tools, WebLytics delivers instant, application‑focused feedback across major robot brands. End users and integrators no longer need to rely on manual data collection; instead, they gain actionable insights into how well a collaborative application is performing, complete with live device diagnostics, alerts, and preventive maintenance recommendations.

WebLytics applies the industry‑standard OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) metric to uncover cell‑level trends—identifying patterns, peaks, and disruptions in productivity. OEE measures the percentage of manufacturing time that is truly productive, allowing teams to determine whether the process is operating at optimal speed and to evaluate the quality of application cycles.

The platform also monitors robot‑arm utilization, grippers, vision cameras, and sensors. It tracks safety stops, grip cycles, and the impact of any cell changes—such as speed adjustments or gripper settings—on overall performance.

When anomalies arise after deployment, users can analyze the raw data collected from robots and tools, then generate findings through customizable dashboards.

Compatible with all leading cobots and lightweight industrial robot arms, WebLytics is designed to grow with new robot and tool releases. A secure, intuitive browser‑based interface presents OEE measures and user‑defined KPIs through fully configurable dashboards.

The WebLytics server can be deployed on a shop floor’s local network or added to a virtual network that connects to the robot cell. Data are stored locally on the server, while the built‑in web server remains accessible via secure HTTPS from anywhere.

OnRobot’s WebLytics provides users with customizable dashboards to track productivity through key metrics like OEE.
