Our UR5e candidate was demonstrated with sleeves standing in fitted pockets, while the other candidate used our loose workshop tray; how should I compare the complete methods before deciding whether the apparent speed advantage is worth a tray change?
Compare from your incoming sleeves to the same finished tray state, including preparation, tray filling and changeover, because the first video has already had work done before the robot starts
Could the same trays travel from an earlier process instead, or would that just move the hand filling to another person? I would ask before deciding the extra preparation has to happen at this bench.
Earlier process cannot use these pockets without its own fixture change, so we are comparing preparation here and have requested a sample tray for the operator to try.
That narrows it usefully; keep any manual benefit of the pocket tray separate in the comparison, because better presentation might help even without changing the arm.
