Pick, position and transfer
Work through part presentation, grip surfaces and the required placement. Include mixed parts and the moments that need a person’s attention.
Better work.
On the line.
A part to place. A station to feed. A handover to improve. Bring the work into focus before choosing the machine.
Discuss your workflowWhere to beginFind the task.
Find the task.
Then the right approach.
Possible starting points—not a fixed product package. The scope follows your application.
Make the next step easier
Look at positioning, access and the handover between people, tools and stations. Define what needs to remain unchanged in the existing line.
Know when to move on
Identify the feature to check and the response to an unexpected result. Agree where that check belongs in the workflow.
Bring the work into focus
The part. The presentation. The next station.
These are useful questions for a first conversation. A complete technical brief can come later.
Use the project brief- What are the part dimensions, material and surface?
- How does the part arrive, and what can vary?
- What does the next station need before it can begin?
Before we beginA little
A little
more clarity.
What should we prepare for a first conversation?
A description of the task, the parts involved and the problem you would like to change is enough to start. Existing process notes or a short recording can help later, but are not a requirement for the first brief.
Can an existing process be part of the discussion?
Yes. Start with what is already there, what needs to remain and which handovers are difficult. The scope of integration is defined around those constraints.
When are performance targets agreed?
Targets need a specific application, operating conditions and a validation plan. Define the outcome first; avoid choosing equipment on an isolated headline figure.
