Who can approve support and UR5e release on one carton pattern?

Our UR5e dispatch pattern rotates component cases over support gaps; I know feeding work must stay beside the capacity figure, but first how do packaging and tooling judge the same filled-case arrangement?

Put the required bearing areas over the layer underneath, then show tool release in that arrangement; packaging rejected a rotated row in our own proposal, but I can't judge yours from gaps alone

Bring a filled case to that review if the support detail is unclear. Our insert concentrated load in two narrow areas that the outside drawing did not reveal. You do not need to buy a tool to discover that sort of mismatch.

I would compare the placement order as well. Tool clearance beside the first case is not necessarily available beside the last one, once the other cartons occupy the layer

Packaging has supplied the filled-case bearing detail, but the release sketch uses an empty layer; that is the mismatch I can now point to

Can the pattern change before tooling is committed? An aligned arrangement might be worth a rough comparison. Lower count is a cost, but not automatically a worse working process.

Isabel, our row change needed another withdrawal review too, so I would keep your alternative as a candidate rather than assume aligned means easy for the tool

Yes, the comparison is the cheap part I am suggesting. I do not know whether Mina's tool can release an aligned layer either.

We can change it, Isabel; I have asked for an aligned candidate beside the original, both with the actual placement order

On one packing job, the end-of-order partial was where the ordinary arrangement stopped being ordinary. I would ask who finishes that pallet and where the remaining cases are supported, not just how the full layer looks.

Our operator finishes partials, Luis, and that work is not in either candidate drawing yet

Then both candidates need that task added. The robot's finished placement is not the warehouse's finished pallet, especially if the operator needs access through the same area

Exactly. I would invite that operator to review the partial finish before the arrangement is frozen. A cost allowance for their time will not tell you whether the work is practical.

The aligned candidate avoids the doubtful bearing gaps on the current packaging review, but tooling has not completed its release check

I've also added our operator's partial-pallet task to the comparison, so the better support view is not being presented as a finished process

That leaves support preference, tool access and partial finishing as distinct decisions; I would retain that split when the supplier updates the price, otherwise the attractive count can swallow the unfinished work again
