Packing has selected examples. The tape overlap is within its accepted range; we aren't proposing to reject those cartons before the tool sees them.

Include who presents them. We had a proposal where somebody quietly rotated every box to offer the clean face, then everyone quoted the robot time as though that person didn't exist.

Theo's preparation point can decide the job. In our comparison the extra handling overlapped packing work, so the problem was not just a few seconds added to the timer.

Supplier asks us to turn the boxes so the cups avoid the seam. That would be extra preparation by the packer, not our current incoming arrangement.

Treat that as a different workflow option, then ask whether they can also assess the existing presentation. You need both the technical result and the labour implication

Nadia, did you abandon that option or find a different person to do the preparation?

We abandoned it for that order mix. Nobody had spare capacity at the right time, and adding cover removed the benefit. Another allocation might work elsewhere; ours did not.

For Jasper's samples, keep both finishes and the ordinary seams in each defined option. Otherwise the rotated-box test could quietly become a nicer-board test as well.

Both options are in the request now. Packer is estimating the extra preparation against those same cartons. Supplier hasn't completed a representative handling trial yet.

Thanks, Nadia. That's the bit our estimates tend to call available labour until somebody asks available when.

Rosa, the failed-pick indication and who handles the carton are also in the trial brief. No vacuum-tool acceptance from the smooth sample.

Keep the complete results when they arrive, including unsuccessful pickups and release problems; a selected clip would put you back where this started
