Bring sensing, edge intelligence, and control closer to every movement. IGNISFORMA helps robotics manufacturers and automation teams develop connected systems that monitor machine health, understand operating conditions, and respond where it matters.
Every robot generates valuable information through motion, vibration, sound, temperature, and electrical load. Capturing these signals helps reveal how the robot is operating—and where attention may be needed.
IGNISFORMA combines embedded sensing, local processing, industrial connectivity, and application engineering to turn physical signals into useful insights for robotic arms, mobile platforms, and automated handling systems.
Understand the health behind every movement.
Monitor motors, bearings, gearboxes, and actuators using vibration, acoustic, and temperature sensing. Evaluate changes against operating baselines to identify developing abnormalities and support maintenance planning.
Know what is happening at the point of work.
Integrate sensing into grippers, tooling, and handling mechanisms to improve process visibility. Capture pressure, proximity, temperature, and vacuum signals (force via third-party load cells) to support pickup verification, controlled handling, and assembly checks.
Add context to robotic movement.
Combine inertial sensing and position feedback to monitor tilt, acceleration, motion, and mechanical disturbances. Supply useful feedback to robot controllers and application software.
Keep essential operating conditions in view.
Connect onboard sensors and subsystem data to monitor the condition of mobile robots and unmanned platforms. Bring drivetrain, battery, environmental, and payload information into a common monitoring architecture.
Make process variations visible.
Capture acoustic, vibration, electrical, and process signals (third-party load cells for force) during robotic machining, dispensing, assembly, and inspection. Develop application-specific monitoring to flag departures from expected process behavior.
Process sensor data locally to extract useful features, recognize patterns, and generate application-specific alerts. Send relevant events and trends to higher-level systems while retaining local visibility into machine behavior.
Capture high-fidelity signals directly from sensors, tooling, and connected robotic subsystems.
Extract key statistical features and compare real-time kinematic behavior with validated operating baselines.
Share condition indicators, actionable alerts, and diagnostic trends with robot controllers, gateways, and supervisory dashboards.
Models and thresholds are developed around the robot’s actual operating conditions, including speed, payload, tooling, and duty cycle.
Integrate new sensing capabilities into existing equipment or build them into the next generation of robotic products. IGNISFORMA supports application-specific interfaces spanning sensor acquisition, embedded processing, wired and wireless connectivity, and industrial communications. Interface selection follows your requirements for timing, bandwidth, power, and installation.
Inertial, acoustic, temperature, analog, and digital inputs engineered for high mechanical repeatability and low signal drift.
On-device signal processing, time/frequency-domain feature extraction, and edge inference running directly close to the machine.
Standard CAN, RS485/Modbus, industrial Ethernet, and low-power wireless interfaces tailored to mechanical routing limits.
Native interfaces for robot controllers, industrial gateways, facility dashboards, and engineering diagnostic tools.
Bring together the electronics, firmware, mechanical integration, and validation needed for your robotic application.
