Robotics data recovery
Start with the robot or production-cell data the operation cannot access.
A stopped robot is not automatically a data-recovery case. ADR becomes relevant when the current program, controller image, configuration, calibration, recipe, vision data, logs, archive, server volume, or backup is inaccessible from its client-controlled storage source—or another intervention could alter the only remaining copy.
Tell us the robot, cell, controller and software vendors, exact data required, every possible source, current errors, last known usable copy, and actions already attempted.
Choose the failed data layer
The visible robot fault does not always identify where the required data resides.
ADR identifies and protects the storage source. Robot repair, logic changes, motion and safety decisions, calibration, and production authorization remain with the responsible manufacturer, integrator, or controls team.
What ADR needs first
Identify the irreplaceable data before changing the equipment around it.
- 1
Name the required data
Program, configuration, calibration, recipe, vision set, controller image, log, archive, database, or backup.
- 2
Locate every possible source
Controller media, panels, pendants, computers, servers, drives, cards, USB devices, backups, exports, and alternate copies.
- 3
Record every intervention
Power cycles, format prompts, firmware changes, restores, uploads, downloads, replacements, repairs, clones, and writes.
- 4
Plan external validation
The authorized automation team must verify the recovered candidate, dependencies, motion, calibration, safety, and production suitability.
When production data—not only the machine—is unavailable
Preserve every possible source and tell ADR what the operation needs back first.
ADR can begin with the identified storage device, a protected image, alternate projects, backups, error history, and the exact data required. The correct path depends on where that data resides and whether the source can still be read safely.
