Yes, a loose panel was set out on the bench. The report does not show any separation from a stack. I've kept that limit beside the seal result.

Then single-panel delivery is untested. A good seal doesn't count the sheets beneath it.

Jack, yes, though I wouldn't throw away the seal report. It answers a smaller question. Fiona, is there a proposed single-panel check, or only the vacuum signal?

Only the vacuum signal in the proposal. Nothing explains what happens if another panel comes with it, or if the tool cannot establish a valid single pickup.

Ask for that response explicitly. Detecting uncertainty without defining the next action leaves the operator guessing.

And use representative stacked panels in the reviewed trial, not separately prepared examples; the preparation method is part of the proposed process if the supplier requires it.

Nora, that could be a reasonable process too, but I'd want the preparation labour priced. I can't compare automated separation with a person quietly doing it outside the demonstration.

The supplier has offered to discuss stack separation and support in a revised concept. No checking method selected yet. They have not asked us to commit to manual separation either.

I've also added release into the receiving position to the review scope. Holding a panel above the bench would still leave us guessing about the last part of the transfer.

Who will handle an uncertain pickup under that revised concept? I'd like that person involved before a recovery method becomes an awkward surprise in training.
