Reality check

The useful boundary is what works repeatedly in a real environment—not what looks impressive in a demo.

Works well when

High-volume, repeatable production with measurable cycle times
Processes with stable PLC, fixtures and quality rules
Projects with planned downtime and a capable integrator

Verify before buying

Changeover, maintenance and line-recovery procedures
Interfaces to PLC, MES, WMS and safety systems
Acceptance criteria tied to throughput and defect rate

Not a magic solution

A shortcut around an unstable production process
A reason to optimize only for theoretical uptime
A project without a maintenance owner
