IoT access is crucial for managing outdoor, mobile robots
According to Conpleks it takes a great and reliable IoT connection to manage software driven outdoor, mobile robots through cloud solutions for fleet managing, therefore the choice fell on Tele2 IoT.
The Swedish telecommunication company, Tele2 IoT, features some of their most interesting and divergent customers in different articles posted on their website and social media. One of the articles highlights Conpleks as an example of a high-tech company that needs a great and reliable IoT connection in order to manage outdoor, mobile robots.
Data goes both ways
The idea of having robots to take care of certain work tasks is most often to free up manpower. Without a good and stable IoT connection, this is not possible, as it is necessary to get data to and back from the robot in order to easily manage both a single robot and an entire fleet.
When it comes to outdoor, mobile robots, it is very important that the robot receives positioning data and route plans to complete the tasks correctly. At the same time, it is crucial to get information such as maintenance status, task progress and pictures back from the robot. This information is sent to the cloud and used to generate work reports, which give a greater control over the task, which goes both for the ones in progress and for planning future ones.
Beyond boarders
For a company with customers in many different countries spread over several continents a uniform IoT connectivity and roaming system is vital. By creating the same system on all robot controllers without having to distinguish whether it goes to Sweden or Argentina, the administrative work load decreases. That means, that there is no need for directing a given controller with a given serial number to a specific market or a specific customer.
Additionally, a consistent IoT connectivity and roaming system is important in order to grant the customer the best possible service through a seamless connection. In the sense that when the customer powers up the controller, it actually gets connected and also connects to the best available network. This calls for a united roaming agreement like the one Tele2 IoT has in cooperation with operators all around the world.
IoT and robots fascinate
The article about Conpleks is one of the most popular articles on Tele2 IoT’s website, and it has around 70.000 impressions at LinkedIn, which is possibly due to the fact that IoT and robots fascinate people as the concept of IoT and robots can be quite intangible.
