Olis® Control
Remote Control for Universal Robots
Errors happen in manufacturing facilities.
Common errors such as a part improperly oriented in the machine or a slight deflection in a robot’s path can bring production to a grinding halt, costing you time and money. But in an unattended production environment, quickly fixing the issue and restarting production is a challenge because there is no one on the shop floor to address the problem and get things moving again.

Remote control robot and equipment directly from the browser and get production back online
What you need
A cobot from Universal Robots
Olis supports all e-series and CB3 series models from Universal Robots
Cameras
Olis needs 3 USB cameras for the live video feeds. These can be either industrial cameras (Genicam) or regular webcams.
We recommend
Reliable network access
A minimum 3Mbit bandwidth is recommended for the best experience.
UR+ Compatible tooling
Olis software works best with tooling that have associated URCaps. However, we also support direct control of custom tooling through Digital IOs.
Benefits of Remote Control for Universal Robots
-
The lack of skilled workers can even affect your automation efforts because robots need people to run them. With remote connectivity, a touchscreen interface, and intuitive controls, anyone can learn to operate a robot with Olis. This makes scheduling workers and production runs easier
-
Intuitive remote monitoring and control provided by Olis helps you ramp up production without the overhead of adding a shift. Setup unattended production through robotics and remote error recovery to produce more
-
Remote control of your production environment makes it easy for offsite expertise to tackle problems causing downtime. Your automation experts can simply log in through Olis, see the issue from multiple angles, control the robot to perform corrective actions, and visually confirm the fix has worked remotely. Root cause analysis has never been easier—or faster!
Reduce the Impact of the Labor Shortage
Without remote monitoring and control, your robot applications would require onsite personnel to address production issues. That means finding more skilled labor in an already depleted labor market or placing additional burdens on your current workforce, neither of which are conducive to efficient, productive and cost-effective manufacturing.
Using Olis remote monitoring and control not only relieves this burden on workers but frees your workers to complete higher-value tasks that further boost productivity and efficiency while reducing waste while one worker monitors the progress of the robots. This doesn’t just improve your bottom line, but increases worker morale.
Increase Productivity with Universal Robots Remote Control
Whether you already have several Universal Robots operating in your facility or just starting the journey to a robotic production environment, every manufacturer making this kind of investment is laser-focused on getting the best possible return on investment (ROI).
With Olis, it’s simple: all you need is an industrial PC, a few cameras, and a smartphone to unlock the true potential of your Universal Robot. If you plan for growth or scaling up to access new markets, remote monitoring and control make it easier. As a result, your workers will be happier, R&D will be more effective, and your company will reap the rewards.
