Ask their technical contact to name the condition behind that wait message. Our screen once carried the wrong recipe label, which made a real receiver wait sound like a different problem. The words alone sent us in circles.
Connector loading waits at an empty destination

Does the job think the destination is empty, Rosa, or only the person looking at it?
6 pointsI'd also ask who clears a completed destination in the normal changeover. We had somebody removing finished parts while the application was still waiting for the agreed exchange confirmation. Empty tray, busy computer.
14 pointsHarish, possible, but don't turn the loader into the suspect before Rosa knows which condition is missing. A half-written changeover sequence can leave them doing exactly what the instruction says.
1 pointsGet the preceding states retained with the stop. Our newer capture finally includes that interval; the original short export missed it entirely.
23 pointsCan the operator read the destination identity from their normal position? A screen label that only the programmer recognises will not help much.
17 pointsLin: job says occupied, although that pocket is physically empty. Harish: the instruction includes exchange confirmation, and the loader followed it. Support has now named the retained destination-status field they want with the job identity.
0 pointsThen compare which destination that exchange confirmation cleared. It might be correctly recorded against a different tray job. I would not ask the operator to repeat it blindly while the ownership is unclear.
19 pointsRebecca, agreed. Rosa's answer makes the distinction important. I was describing our case, not accusing her loader of skipping something.
-7 pointsNina, destination names were abbreviated and too similar. The retained trace also shows exchange clearing the previous tray job, while the active job keeps its occupied state. Programmer is checking that mismatch.
10 pointsThat sounds painfully familiar in the wording, although the job-state mismatch is your own finding. Keep both in the correction: clearer names won't fix which job receives the confirmation.
12 pointsWill the revised screen let the loader see the active job before confirming the exchange, Rosa? I'd want that answer from someone using it, not just someone who wrote it.
20 pointsRevision ties exchange confirmation to the active destination identity and rejects the old job's confirmation. Offline tests cover both cases. The clearer names passed a walkthrough with our loader, who spotted the mismatched example unaided.
7 pointsHas that correction reached the installed station, or is it still the tested revision waiting to go in?
18 pointsInstalled and checked with the integrator. Two normal tray exchanges completed, and the mismatched-job test held for review instead of clearing another destination. This ticket is closed. Thanks for asking about the condition behind the message, Farah.
