Everyone says ready and our housing handover means two things

I'm trying to get a sensible FR10 lathe interface agreed for round housings. Machine side means request received, integrator means loading area available. Our meeting notes say both parties agreed on ready, which is technically true and wonderfully useless. How would you restart this discussion?

Can they show you the exact point where they think the robot is allowed to begin the transfer?

I would avoid treating that single signal as permission for the whole transfer. Ask what other conditions the design requires and which side knows them; the word dispute may be hiding a missing observation as well as two interpretations.

Dinesh, fair, I want their claimed start point on the drawing, not to declare ready sufficient.

Hana and Dinesh, I've asked for that start point with the required conditions beside it. The machine side has described receipt clearly; the integrator's reply still says machine ready without listing what they expect it to establish.

Then there is still an unanswered interface question. I would send the machine's receipt definition back against that exact integrator statement and ask whether they need another condition, rather than writing the missing meaning on their behalf.

Done. They're arranging a joint review, but I haven't got the integrator's condition list. Leaving the draft visibly incomplete; I don't fancy becoming the accidental author of a machine state I can't observe.
