Universal Robots UR5e: Two promising demos, two different tray setups

I'm comparing Universal Robots UR5e with other candidates: sorted tray loading with a machined puck in a supervised prototype cell, with 40 planned. One demo used a tidy tray; another used our awkward workshop tray. Both looked promising. I don't think the videos answer the same question.

Have you listed tray adjustments separately from missed pickups? Comparing those observations could show how much of the apparent transfer performance depended on preparation.

The notes are scrappy, but they distinguish the tray adjustments that aren't obvious in the footage. They also show most missed pickups occurring after tray replacement across the candidates.

@LouisAllen0311 Use those notes to plan a common tray trial, including normal replacement. Agree what counts as acceptable placement and operator help, then record both for each candidate.
