Identify exactly what needs to be observed, including the variation that may be acceptable.

The familiar task is where the engineering begins.
The working briefNot just where it goes.
Not just where it goes.
How it gets there.
The object’s surface, the way it arrives and the position it needs to reach all belong in the same conversation.
- The object
- Geometry, material, weight and surfaces that can be touched.
- The presentation
- How it arrives, what can vary and what is already known.
- The handover
- Placement, release and what the next station needs.
Inspection & checkingGive the next action a reason.
A clear check.
A useful answer.
Presence. Position. A visible feature.
First define the question. Then define how it can be answered.
The criterion.
Agree what counts as an acceptable result and what evidence is needed to support it.
The response.
Define the handover, the uncertain result and the point at which a person intervenes.
Process integrationIt has to work
It has to work
with everything else.
A robot doesn’t work in isolation. People, stations and information all need to know what happens next.
Connect your workflow
The space between steps
is part of the system.
Start with the existing line. Map signals, stopping points and responsibilities. Include the way an interrupted task is understood and restarted—not only the normal sequence.
