RFP Starter Template Example for CNC Robot Machine Tending

Over the last few weeks, I’ve shared some practical tools we’ve put together including an 80 Point Production Robot Project Checklist and ROI Justification Starter Spreadsheet that can help assure your robotic automation initiatives are successful.

These tools are included in our recently published white paper – Complete Guide to Robotic Machine Tending Projects. 

Another resource that can be of assistance is the Request for Proposal (RFP) starter template example which provides sections and language to clearly outline project requirements and evaluate vendor responses including: 

• Vendor Responsibilities
• Workholding and End-of-Arm-Tooling
• Machine Interfacing
• Validation Requirements
• Maintenance & Support

Too often, RFPs lack important details and information leading to vendor proposals which are misaligned with your actual requirements.

This can give you a massive headache, and can cause project time delays and increased costs. Worse still having an incomplete RFP can lead to suboptimal solutions which can make your robotic machine tending project fail. 

Here’s the link where you can download the RFP Starter Template Example to make sure you don’t fall into this trap. 

This template is particularly valuable if you are planning an Advanced Robotic Machine Tending project involving multiple machines, multiple operations, and multiple parts with automated changeovers.

If you’re planning this type of project, you’ll probably also be interested in how Flexxbotics is transforming robot-driven manufacturing with our breakthrough technology and complete solution for advanced robot machine tending.
