I'm pushing for Universal Robots UR5e to do fixture loading with a small plastic enclosure in a small owner-run workshop, starting with 221. I priced the arm and gripper.
Fixtures and staff time? Much vaguer.
My colleague's annoyed, fairly enough. I'd like a small pilot we can both judge.
Arm and gripper priced. Fixtures still vague. (fixture loading)

Have you measured the whole manual job, preparation included? Timing just the transfer could hide the same missing labour again.
