Yaskawa Electric Corporation (Head Office: Kita-Kyushu, Fukuoka, Japan; Representative Director, President: Masahiro Ogawa) has been promoting a new solution concept called i³-Mechatronics since 2017, in which digital data management is added to existing automation solutions, with the aim of realizing a new industrial automation revolution, as set forth in its long-term business plan “VISION 2025”. The company launched a new controller solution called “iCube Control”. As a first step, it developed and started sales of the YRM controller YRM1010, which enables integrated control of so-called cells composed of equipment and industrial robots, while simultaneously collecting and utilizing highly synchronous data in real time for feedback. This is a further improvement in the performance and functionality of the YRM-X (ten) controller (YRM1000), the first YRM controller, released in 2021. Data collecting in a cell It defines a cell, and integrates and collects data of equipment and industrial robots in the cell, and automatically stores it in YCP at the same time. Feedback data analyzed by YCP to control The results of YCP data analysis are fed back to the YRM controller. It will be reflected to improve the moving ratio of cells and the product quality. Autonomous distribution based on data in cells New “bulletin board” functions to centrally manage data in cells. The YRM1010 provides not only sequential control, but also control in which equipment and industrial robots autonomously make judgements based on the “bulletin board” and change them into motion. It contributes to the realization of variate production.
