We're estimating a cell using Fairino FR10 for carton insert loading with a small retail carton in a compact dispatch workshop, with 171 planned. The initial robot price appeared manageable, but presentation fixtures, guarding and operator training have expanded the estimate. I'd like to compare the complete proposals while showing honestly which costs remain uncertain.
Make a shared scope table: who supplies each item, quoted cost, and any unknown allowance. Add your internal work, then compare totals for that same scope
@RebeccaChan1126 My separate cell budget grew when we included internal work for recipe preparation and acceptance attendance. Those commitments mattered even though they weren't supplier invoice items.
Our comparison will use the same complete scope for each offer, with internal commitments and uncertainties shown. I've made resolution of material cost gaps a condition of the spending decision.
