Discovery questions
Questions before product selection.
- Who owns tooling and cycle-time performance?
- What plant interfaces and safety standards apply?
- How will changeovers be handled?
- Which spare parts cause the longest downtime?
Pilot evidence
Proof to seek before rollout.
The exact test plan depends on the site and robot category. These are starting points, not universal acceptance criteria.
- Application test with representative parts
- Safety and integration scope
- Cycle acceptance criteria
- Spares and escalation matrix
