Application definition
Record every component and variant, drawing revision, finish, accepted orientation, sustained rate, space, utilities and site standard.
ENGINEERING PROCESS
Reduce project risk before equipment reaches your production floor.
Turn the real component, required hand-off and operating conditions into measurable trials, defined interfaces and a documented acceptance route.
SAMPLE-LED DELIVERY
Six stages from application brief to site handover.
Each stage removes a different uncertainty while decisions are still practical to change.
Representative trials
Test the proposed movement, separation, orientation, inspection or grasp strategy against agreed production samples.
Concept & interfaces
Define layout, equipment principle, buffers, hand-off, signals, safety boundary, responsibilities and acceptance philosophy.
Detailed engineering
Develop tooling, controls, vision recipes, robot paths, guarding, access, documentation and changeover provisions.
Factory acceptance
Run the agreed sample population and verify rate, quality, replenishment, alarms, recovery, safety and documentation.
Installation & handover
Install, connect, commission, train and support the move from controlled test conditions to production operation.
FACTORY ACCEPTANCE
Test the operating conditions that matter after handover.
A good FAT does more than run ideal parts at a short peak rate. It proves the agreed production behaviours within the supplied scope.
| Test area | Example evidence | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sample population | Identified production lots, variants and agreed difficult parts | Links the result to known component conditions |
| Sustained accepted rate | Timed output at the final hand-off under normal replenishment | Avoids confusing internal peak movement with usable production |
| Buffer behaviour | Track full, downstream stop, restart and starvation response | Shows how the cell behaves around real line interruptions |
| Fault & recovery | Defined jams, empty hopper, sensor fault and operator recovery | Confirms safe, understandable return to production |
| Changeover | Tools, settings, recipes, time and verification | Protects availability across the planned format range |
| Safety & documentation | Safety functions, alarms, manuals, drawings and training records | Supports handover and lifecycle ownership |
PREPARE THE APPLICATION
Useful evidence creates faster, safer decisions.
- Annotated component photographs
- Drawings, tolerances and format matrix
- Samples from normal production variation
- Required orientation and receiving-machine layout
- Sustained output and operating schedule
- Good and reject samples for inspection tasks
Use the complete system specification checklist
Do not send confidential drawings or process information until any required NDA is in place.
PROJECT ASSESSMENT
Start with a clear application brief and representative production parts.
We will help define the right starting architecture, the evidence needed for selection and the interfaces that belong in the project scope.
