What should decide whether our FR10 pouch job gets another guide?

Our FR10 transfers the pouch reliably once someone has flattened its seam and put it into the guide; each new pouch shape changes that preparation, and I am struggling to tell whether another guide is sensible development or simply another way to protect the time I have already spent

Compare the remaining work with the manual process before buying another guide; the time already spent will not be recovered by making the next decision expensive too.

The operator currently prepares each pouch individually, so the robot's clean transfer is only a short part of the task; I had been reporting that short part as the improvement

Is one pouch family stable enough to keep, without chasing every new shape?

A restricted scope is worth comparing, Gabriel, provided sorting the work into that scope does not consume the saving.

One repeat pouch could be a candidate, but its orders arrive mixed with the changing sizes; we have not costed separating and returning them

Then include that sorting before calling the restricted job cheaper.

I have paused the request for another guide and asked planning to compare the repeat-only task with the present bench process; keeping the motion available is not a decision to keep developing every pouch
