15 Point Project Planning Outline for Robot Machine Tending 

Wanted to share our recently published white paper which is a Complete Guide to Robotic Machine Tending Projects.

The paper provides comprehensive info on the different aspects of a machine tending initiative using either cobots or industrial robots to achieve greater unattended operation, higher yields, and better margins. 

If you haven’t gotten it yet, you can download the full 51 page white paper guide here.

Included in the paper are several practical tools that’ll help successfully guide you through your factory’s robotic automation projects.

One of these is a 15 Point Project Planning Outline which you can use as the basis for developing a structured roadmap for your production robotic initiative.

These points are important steps that if missed can cause projects to fail. It’s particularly relevant to CNC robot machine tending projects.

Planning outline covers:

1. Business Goals & Target Outcomes
2. Selecting Operations to Automate
3. Requirements & Constraints
4. Budgeting & Return On Investment (ROI)
5. Internal Communications Plan
6. Identifying Parts & Part Families
7. Throughput Volume & Cycletimes
8. Objective-based Design
9. Robot+Machine Connectivity
10. Business Systems Connectivity
11. Safety & Risk Assessments
12. Validation Testing
13. Documentation & Training
14. Ramping Volumes
15. Maintenance & Support
