Running and Troubleshooting a Robotic Cell

For the people who own the cell on a shift. Covers the routine - changeovers, first-off checks, common faults - and the judgement of when to fix, when to stop, and when to call someone.

What participants can do afterwards

  • Run a changeover and verify the first piece before committing a batch
  • Diagnose the faults that account for most unplanned downtime
  • Decide correctly between recovering, stopping and escalating
  • Keep a maintenance record that is useful to the next shift
