Cluster robot downtime root causes API

Cluster caller-supplied downtime events by code/message category signals. Live PLCs and robots are not contacted.

The Cluster robot downtime root causes operation is part of the Industrial Robotics & Automation Intelligence API on BRAINIAC.software. Cluster caller-supplied downtime events by code/message category signals. Live PLCs and robots are not contacted. It is exposed as POST /api/v1/robotics-intelligence/downtime-root-cause and priced at $0.04 USDC on Base. Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: Caller-supplied ROS bag topic exports, schemas, robot telemetry, cycles, downtime, OPC UA tags, PLC alarms, maintenance records, and protocol declarations Limitations: No live industrial equipment connection is opened and no machine commands are issued. Binary .bag/.mcap files are not fully decoded. Supply topic CSV/JSON exports or labeled sample rows. Anomaly, cycle-time, downtime, and maintenance estimates use only supplied measurements and intervals. Missing values are not invented. Protocol compatibility compares caller-supplied required versus available protocol names, versions, and features only. Workcell reports aggregate only sections for which records were supplied. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings. Related operations in this group include Parse ROS bag telemetry exports, Diff ROS topic schemas, Detect robot telemetry anomalies, Analyze robot cycle time.
