No complicated hardware to purchase or setup.
Follow the three steps below to get your cobot online!
Once your cobot is plugged into a network, install the Beacon URCap. The URCap can be downloaded here.
Our URCap will automatically update itself to the latest version and securely check for an existing registration.
Once our URCap securely communicates with the cloud, it will present a time sensitive QR code that can be scanned with the Beacon mobile app to register your cobot.
Once your cobot is registered with the Beacon mobile app, the URCap will automatically show that setup is complete.
Your program files, log files, and other support-related files will automatically be synchronized and backed up to the cloud.
for my cobot!You've got questions. We have answers.
One of the biggest barriers to automation is the lack of success of prior automation projects. Success breeds success. The best way to justify the next automation project is to showcase success on the last. And there's no better way to do that then to eliminate issues and demonstrate the ability to handle more automation with your current team.
Beacon synchronizes every program/script file change to the cloud. No longer do you need to use a USB stick to back up your robot, and then keep track of that USB stick.
And every version is available through the Beacon mobile app. Our software works in the background to make sure your files are immediately available in the cloud.
This is really handy when you need to restore a file to a previous version, access your files remotely, troubleshoot an issue where the log files are needed, or share files with your distributor, integrator, or Universal Robots support team.
It's FREE! All of these capabilities are available to you for no cost. In the future, we may release premium features that you can opt in to if you find them useful. But we'll always offer these capabilities for free.
No special hardware or cloud device is needed. Simply plug in your Universal Robot to your existing network, install our URCap on your cobot, and use the mobile app to securely register your cobot.
Beacon has been tested and certified by Universal Robots, which earns it the UR+ Certified designation.
Absolutely! Beacon isn't just for your real cobot. You can install the URCap in your simulator and take advantage of the same capabilities in a simulation environment.
Always! Files are securely transferred to the cloud and are encrypted at rest.
Only you can access your files, and you control how you share your files by generating secure links that will auto-expire.
