What should a changeover prove before automated use?

Our planned loading rigid components into interchangeable nests with Universal Robots UR5e in a mixed-product assembly workshop uses interchangeable nest inserts. The insert for a compact aluminium housing looks almost like another family insert and appears able to fit backwards. We're reviewing this before automated use. I need a check that connects the installed tooling to the recipe, not just a nicer label.

Can the reversed insert reach the intended seat, according to the drawings? Check that first, alongside which insert revision the recipe expects

The mounting features are symmetric, but the part datum isn't. The setup sheet names the insert family without a revision. Two gaps already.

Ask the fixture designer to review asymmetric keying using those drawings. A configuration table should also link the insert's identity and revision to the applicable part and recipe
