Abstract
In factories and warehouses, mobile robots such as AGVs and AMRs are widely used for logistics operations, including pallet handling, material transfer, and intrawarehouse delivery. When a robot malfunctions, companies need to identify and resolve the issue promptly to avoid disrupting normal operations. For faults that cannot be resolved independently, professional technical guidance and local after-sales service from the robot manufacturer are also essential.
To address these needs, SEER Robotics provides a service system covering initial fault troubleshooting through to local after-sales support. Customers can use the Help Center, product manuals, and software tools to review error information, investigate possible causes, and attempt to resolve issues by following the relevant technical instructions. For faults that cannot be resolved independently, customers can contact SEER Robotics technical personnel for remote guidance. For issues requiring further on-site intervention, SEER Robotics provides technical and after-sales support in local and neighboring markets through its global network of system integrator partners, overseas subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, and Japan, and local professional teams.
Initial Fault Troubleshooting and Resolution: Combining Self-Service Troubleshooting with Remote Technical Guidance
When a warehouse robot malfunctions, customers can first investigate the cause using the SEER Robotics Help Center, product manuals, and software tools, then attempt to resolve the issue by following the relevant technical instructions. If the fault persists, they can contact SEER Robotics technical personnel for further remote analysis and troubleshooting guidance.
1. Help Center and Software Tools: Independently Identify, Analyze, and Resolve Faults
The SEER Robotics Help Center provides user manuals and technical documentation for robots, controllers, software systems, and other products, helping customers find troubleshooting procedures and solutions. SEER Robotics also offers the following software tools to assist customers in analyzing fault causes and resolving issues:
- Meta-Map: Supports real-time monitoring of robot operating status. When a robot encounters an abnormal condition, the software displays alarm states using different colors and provides corresponding error causes and solutions, helping operations and maintenance personnel quickly identify and resolve problems.
- RoboCare: Supports automated log analysis and fault localization, generating analysis reports for common issues that include the time, location, cause, and corresponding solution. Robot trajectory replay and data chart analysis also help users trace the sequence of events leading to a fault.
- M4 Intelligent Robot Management System: Supports monitoring the operating status of robots and transport orders. Its AI diagnostic function checks key conditions related to specific issues and displays diagnostic results, abnormality causes, and repair guidance. By combining operation replay, alarm records, and transport order status information, the system helps users troubleshoot abnormalities in robot scheduling and task execution. Applicable task handling and recovery functions also assist in resolving these issues.
Customers can use these resources and tools to identify fault causes and attempt resolution by following the relevant instructions. If they cannot resolve the problem independently, they can contact SEER Robotics technical personnel for professional guidance.
2. Professional Technical Guidance: SEER Robotics Technical Personnel Assist with Fault Diagnosis and Resolution
When customers cannot resolve a problem using technical documentation or software tools, they can contact SEER Robotics technical personnel and provide the equipment model, observed symptoms, alarm information, and relevant logs. This information enables technical personnel to further analyze the fault cause and provide appropriate remote troubleshooting guidance.
For issues that can be resolved through software configuration or operational adjustments, customers can complete the necessary steps under professional guidance. Faults involving hardware repairs, on-site inspections, or other procedures requiring qualified personnel will need additional technical service support.
Local After-Sales Service: Professional Teams Provide On-Site Repairs and Technical Support
For faults involving hardware repairs, on-site equipment commissioning, or complex system issues, software tools and remote guidance alone may not be sufficient. Support from qualified local technical personnel may also be required.
SEER Robotics provides additional local technical and after-sales service resources through a combination of its global network of system integrator partners and its own overseas subsidiaries.
1. Global System Integrator Network: Professional Engineering Capabilities Support Local After-Sales Service
SEER Robotics leverages its global network of system integrator partners to provide customers with local fault troubleshooting, equipment commissioning, and maintenance services. Local system integrators have professional engineering teams and project implementation experience. They are familiar with customers' logistics processes, system configurations, and operating environments, enabling them to conduct technical analysis and on-site troubleshooting based on actual operating conditions.
To strengthen the professional capabilities of its system integrators, SEER Robotics provides online training, hands-on offline training, assessments, and certification through SEER Academy. Advanced courses are also available to high-performing engineers, covering complex application commissioning, multi-robot collaborative scheduling, and in-depth system integration. In addition, an open knowledge base containing 4.6 million Chinese characters of content brings together product technical documentation, system configuration and commissioning materials, and troubleshooting experience, providing technical resources to help engineers analyze complex problems.
Through professional engineering teams, tiered training programs, and accumulated technical knowledge, SEER Robotics continuously enhances the on-site service capabilities of its global system integrators, providing customers with more dependable local after-sales support.
2. Overseas Subsidiaries: Regional Service Hubs in the United States, Germany, and Japan Support Neighboring Markets
In addition to its global system integrator network, SEER Robotics has overseas subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, and Japan, supported by local professional teams. These three countries serve as regional service hubs, working with local partners to provide technical and after-sales support to customers in their respective countries and neighboring markets.
