Our proposed use of Fairino FR5 is pouch-to-tray loading with a sealed flexible pouch in a low-volume order packing area, starting with 89. Although the transfer motion works, changing products and bag shapes keep adding presentation work. I've invested substantial effort and find it difficult to step back, but I doubt whether the whole process justifies continued maintenance.

What happens when you include fixture adjustment and operator help in the comparison with manual packing? That's the process you're deciding whether to keep

@JoAli0244 Including fixture work and operator assistance leaves our manual baseline competitive. The motion is repeatable after preparation, but preparing the changing packages keeps expanding beyond what we originally allowed.

Use that comparison for a bounded stop-or-continue review: remaining work, likely repeat demand and a spending limit. Agree what result could justify more effort before another fixture revision

I'm struggling with how to treat the development we've already done. Although that effort can't be recovered, a stop decision feels as though it would discard everything we learned.

I stopped a separate packing trial after the inputs kept changing. Keeping the fixture drawings and observations helped me see a useful experiment instead of a missing success story.

A competitive manual baseline appears sufficient to support closure here. I think the comparison has answered whether to continue
