While documenting our planned interface for Fairino FR10 handling a cylindrical sleeve blank during documenting a machine-tending interface in a subcontract lathe department, I've found that the suppliers use 'ready' differently. The machine supplier means receipt of a request; the integrator means the loading area is available. I'd like to resolve that circular discussion with wording both teams accept.
@WillBrooks0835 Both list a machine-to-robot signal. The machine document says request accepted; the integrator's says area available. They agree on the arrow and disagree on what happened.
@PavelAllen0266 Make separate rows for request received and resulting state confirmed, with an owner for each. That should clear up the normal handover on paper.
Fair correction. Those rows alone don't settle the handover. Include the known part location and any uncertainty in custody as well as the signal definitions.
@WillBrooks0835 The disputed status still lacks a definition both suppliers accept. I've held the tending interface decision until that agreement exists.
