Proximity Smart Support™
Simple, efficient, reliable, and secure.
Remote Commissioning of an L-R cell
Our customer purchased an L-R (laser robotic welding) cell featuring a FANUC M20iB Laser welding robot, an IPG HP Scanner welding head, and a Proximity Smart Support system installed. This L-R features a turntable design, to support two (2) different part variants.
The L-R was built at our headquarters with preliminary robot and PLC programming to demonstrate generic welds on coupon samples for EV battery cooling plates. Further commissioning was required to complete 4 (four) different welds with tight tolerances for two-part variants to be programmed, an A and B side.
To complete commissioning and debugging the L-R cell needed to be at the customer site. Through the Proximity Smart Support system, BOS utilized the integrated monitor, four (4) CCTV cameras with NVR, and remote connection to remotely commission the L-R cell to required tolerances within the 40-second cycle time.
Using the expertise of the BOS programmer, remote connectivity from Proximity Smart Support, and the features of the Support Contract, BOS was able to successfully commission this cell remotely. Combining the Support Contract and Proximity Smart Support system our customer was able to save approximately 68% on the cost of service using the reduced rates and remote connectivity features. Our customer benefitted from reduced costs and downtime by eliminating the need for travel and on-site representation and enhanced operational efficiency through seamless connection with BOS’ experts to accelerate debugging and troubleshooting processes.
Using Proximity Smart Support, BOS: Logged in 5 times for a total of 334 minutes of service. Average service login of 66 minutes, over a grouping of what would have been 3 visits.
This saved the customer: 3 visits with 15.5 hours round trip, which would have totaled 46.5 hours of travel and 4,332 km driven.
Remotely Providing Support to Add Part Variants
Our customer purchased a L-R (laser robotic cutting) cell featuring a FANUC M20iB/25 R-30iB PLUS robot, IPG 2kW YLR laser power source, Supply and Integration of LaserMech FibercutST Laser Head, and a Proximity Smart Support system installed. This L-R features an extra-wide dual trunnion turntable for part fixturing and was originally purchased with the ability to support a quantity of 10 part types with fixture changeover between each part run.
We built the L-R cell at our headquarters with the initial part variants programmed, and the additional variants would be programmed by the customer’s team. Training was required to add additional part variants to meet customer’s high mix/low volume requirements.
Through the Support Contract the customer purchased discounted additional training to support their team on an ongoing basis. Initial training was provided on-site to operation personnel during installation, and after through the Proximity Smart Support system using the remote connectivity feature.
Using the expertise of the BOS programmer, remote connectivity from Proximity Smart Support, and the features of the Support Contract, BOS successfully completed initial commissioning and taught the customer’s team to add part variants. Combining the Support Contract and Proximity Smart Support system our customer was able to save approximately 39% on the cost of service using the reduced rates and remote connectivity features. The original scope included 10-part variants, which the customer has expanded to include more than 250 part variants to meet their high-mix/low-volume requirements with overwhelming success. Our customer benefitted from reduced costs and downtime by eliminating the need for travel and on-site representation and enhanced operational efficiency through seamless connection with BOS’ experts to accelerate debugging and troubleshooting processes.
Using Proximity Smart Support, BOS: Logged in 49 times for a total of 1,998 minutes of service. Average service login of 40 minutes, over a grouping of what would have been 16 visits.
This saved the customer: 16 visits with 7 hours round trip, which would have totaled 112 hours of travel and 11,500 kms driven.
