Looking to Better Interact With Your Robots?

You’ve kicked off your robotics and automation journey by investing in BrainOS®-powered robots. So, now what? How can you get to know your machine better, communicate with it directly and track its performance? Cue BrainOS® Mobile — a mobile application providing operators and managers real-time visibility to their BrainOS®-powered robotic fleets with easy-to-navigate, detailed performance and usage analytics. BrainOS® Mobile carries a rich feature set including push notifications, machine status, the BrainOS® Learning Center and more. Now that you know about this critical robot tool that enables seamless fleet management, let’s discuss who on your team should use BrainOS® Mobile and outline best practices for strategically leveraging the app to help maximize your robot program's ROI.

Who is the App for?

BrainOS® Mobile is a robot tool designed for anyone tasked with using, managing and monitoring BrainOS®-powered robots — from Robot Operators to Facility, Regional and District Managers. With BrainOS® Mobile, users can interact with their machines and oversee their robots’ productivity and performance at any time and from anywhere, including remotely.

How to Download BrainOS® Mobile

Ready to start leveraging this mobile application to monitor and optimize your robot program? The process is easy! Simply scan the QR code below to start your download, or find the app in the iOS App Store and Google Play.

BrainOS® Mobile Best Practices for Robot Operators

1. LAUNCH & LOGIN PROCESS:

Robot operators can log in to BrainOS® Mobile by simply scanning the QR code located on the Robot’s UI screen.

  • Unlock the UI Screen> Settings> Mobile Alerts and Scan the QR Code

Scanning the QR code via the mobile app will pair your phone to the robot to review data and stay up to date with its current status. Pro-tip! Robot operators can pair with the QR code to unlock machine data and see what tasks were completed and what needs to be done.

2. VIEW MACHINE STATUS:

Click into your Machine Card to view your Machine Status and available software updates. Operators can also view the Battery indicator to see when robots need recharging.

3. TRACK THE STATUS OF YOUR MACHINE:

When an assist occurs, easily locate the machine via the images sent to you in the app.

4. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS:

Open the BrainOS® Mobile app > Profile > Push Notifications> Toggle which notifications you’d like to be alerted for. Pro-Tip! Pairing with the BrainOS® Mobile app vs SMS messages allows for multiple robot operators to pair with one machine via a QR code to receive important notifications. That’s right — now Robot Operators #1, #2 and #3 can collaboratively work together to clear assists or start a new route!

BrainOS® Mobile Best Practices for Fleet Managers

1. LAUNCH & LOGIN PROCESS:

Fleet Managers can log into BrainOS® Mobile by entering their username and password provided by the Brain Corp Support Team.* Once logged in, add your robotic fleet by searching for Site or RIN. As best practice, focus on adding 10-15 machines at once into the app to strategically view your machines of interest.

*Fleet Manager login via username and password is currently available upon request.

Pro Tip! Logging in with a username and password provides all of the same benefits as scanning the QR code, but allows you to connect without physically being next to the machine.

2. FILTER BY KEY METRICS:

Did someone say data? BrainOS® Mobile has you covered. Sort by various metrics including Autonomous usage %, Area Cleaned, Route Runs and more! Select your preferred metric to sort your different sites and easily verify your robots are completing their tasks. Pro tip! Sort from High to Low to see your top-performing sites, or Low to High to view an exception list and areas for improvement across your fleet.

3. SITE METRICS:

Want more information on how a single site is performing? Click into any Site Card to drill down into its performance. View Trends over time to monitor patterns and check on areas for improvements.
