What does video add that machine data alone doesn't?
HMI data tells you what the control system registered — an error code, a stop condition. Video shows what physically happened around that moment, which is often what actually explains the fault, not just that it occurred.
How does this reduce downtime in practice?
By combining footage with HMI data, engineers can identify issues remotely and, in some cases, resolve them without an on-site visit — reducing callouts, speeding up diagnosis, and minimising system downtime.
Is this the same video used in Robominder?
Yes — the same camera infrastructure feeds both the Robominder dashboard for day-to-day monitoring and remote engineering support when something needs deeper diagnosis.
