How to reduce industrial robot failures? Jul 19, 2025

Industrial robots bring many benefits to the manufacturing industry, including increased flexibility and precision. However, as the number of industrial robots continues to increase, the risk of failures also increases. So, how can these failures be reduced? If problems occur, who should be held responsible?

Causes of robot failures

As industrial robots are widely used in various fields, failures have become more frequent. Failures can occur for a variety of reasons, including human error, control panel problems, mechanical failures, power outages, or environmental factors. Understanding the root cause of robot failures is the first step in reducing the risk of failures.

Why is failure prevention important?

Robot failures can not only cause production line shutdowns and high losses, but can also cause personal injury or even fatal accidents. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every factory manager to take measures to prevent failures in advance and reduce their probability of occurrence. Instead of shirking responsibility, it is better to adopt effective management methods to deal with potential causes of failures and reduce the occurrence of robot failures.

Robot programming and installation

For robots to operate properly, they need to be specially programmed according to specific application requirements and working environments. These programs include detailed operating instructions such as how robots move, how they interact, and how they make decisions. Incorrect programming or misoperation of the control panel may cause errors in the robot and even endanger the safety of the operator.

To ensure that the robot can be installed and configured correctly, factory managers should provide detailed training to programmers. And clearly define the operating standards of the robot to ensure that employees can be aware of it when operating and reduce unnecessary risks.

Human factors and operator training

To reduce human errors, operators need to receive systematic training and be familiar with various skills in robot operation and maintenance. Workers should be able to recognize signs of failure in a timely manner and understand their potential causes. This not only helps them deal with complex robot operation problems, but also handles small problems with the robot in a timely manner to avoid the expansion of failures.

In addition, only authorized personnel can access and operate industrial robots. Factories should establish strict access control systems to ensure that unauthorized personnel cannot operate robots and reduce potential safety risks. For example, facial recognition technology can be used to verify whether there are trained operators around the robot to ensure the safety of workers and the stability of the production line.

Robot maintenance strategy

Good maintenance is the key to preventing robot failures. Industrial robots are prone to dust accumulation during long-term use, which may cause sensor failure or motor overload, thus affecting the normal operation of the robot. Therefore, factory managers should develop regular cleaning and inspection plans to keep the machinery and equipment clean and in good condition.

In addition to daily cleaning, regular maintenance is equally important. As robot parts continue to wear, it becomes particularly important to use sensors for fault warning. By monitoring the operating status of the robot through sensors, maintenance personnel can detect potential faults in advance and repair them before the problem becomes a big problem.

Future: Self-diagnostic robots

With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, robots in the future may have self-diagnostic functions. With the help of technologies such as wireless networks and Bluetooth, robots can transmit diagnostic information in real time to remind maintenance personnel when maintenance is needed. The development of this technology will greatly improve maintenance efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and effectively reduce maintenance costs.

Going further, robots in the future may not only be able to detect faults themselves, but also predict the time when faults will occur in advance. Robots can even automatically place orders for purchases or remind maintenance personnel to replace parts when parts are abnormal, completely changing the traditional maintenance model.

Conclusion

In short, in order to reduce the occurrence of robot failures, manufacturers should keep the equipment in good operating condition and provide adequate training for employees. At the same time, through regular maintenance and the application of new technologies, the probability of failure can be effectively reduced and the safety and production efficiency of the production line can be improved.
