Abstract

A pick and place nozzle performance analytics system streams production data from pick and place machines used in electronic assembly to a cloud platform as torrential data streams, and performs analytics on the production data to track, visualize, and predict performance of individual nozzles in terms of rejects or miss-picks. The analytics system generates a performance vector for each nozzle based on the collected production data, the performance vector tracking both the accumulated rejects and the percentage of rejects as respective dimensions of an x-y plane. The system monitors and analyzes the trajectory of this vector in the x-y plane to predict when performance degradation of the nozzle will reach a critical threshold. In response to predicting that nozzle performance degradation will exceed a threshold at a future time, the system can generate and deliver notifications to appropriate client devices.

Dependent claims

A system for collecting and analyzing industrial performance data, comprising:

a processor that executes executable components stored on a memory, the executable components comprising:
a data aggregation component configured to generate performance vector data for a nozzle of a pick and place machine based on production data collected from the pick and place machine, wherein the performance vector data defines a location, over time, of a vector point of the nozzle within an x-y plane, and the data aggregation component determines the location of the vector point as a plot of a total number of rejects for the nozzle on a y-axis of the x-y plane and a percentage of rejects for the nozzle on an x-axis of the x-y plane;
a vector analysis component configured to track a movement of the location of the vector point based on an analysis of the performance vector data;
and
a notification component configured to generate notification data directed to a client device in response to determining that the movement of the location of the vector point satisfies a defined criterion.
