News from the upcoming Automate 2025 show continues to dribble in. This looks like an update on HMIs. Let’s take it to Android (I assume some of you are on that platform).

Olis will launch a remote automation monitoring, diagnostic and error recovery app that turns Android smartphones and tablets into gateways for any automation cell without the need for additional hardware at Automate 2025.

By connecting their mobile device to a PLC through the new Olis app, attendees can experience how easy it is to get going with Olis. They will also be able to remotely control a robot arm and view live video of a remote robot with PLC/telemetry data overlaid, enabling users to diagnose automation issues instantly from anywhere in the world.

The Olis app synchronizes real-time video with system logs, providing a complete picture of what went wrong.

Full set-up takes less than five minutes – including a simple online purchase – making it an efficient retrofit for legacy automation systems. Users download the Olis app onto an Android tablet or phone and connect an ethernet connection to the controller. From there, they can configure IP addresses and start collecting diagnostic data.

In addition to receiving synchronized telemetry and video in parallel, engineers can set up alerts regarding irregular activity before it escalates into a costly hard stop. The Olis app also supports screen-sharing functionality, enabling troubleshooting teams to collaborate in real-time.
