Our proposed use of Fairino FR5 is filled pouch transfer with a soft packaged refill in a low-volume order packing area, starting with 75.
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.
@ZaraBrooks0830 Do your observations compare manual packing against the assisted process including presentation adjustments and operator involvement? Those activities matter to the continuation decision as much as the transfer itself.
@FarahBell0678 Manual packing still looks competitive once I count the adjustments and help. The transfer repeats after preparation; the preparation is what's escaping the original scope.
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.
@ZaraBrooks0830 On my own packing trial, repeated input changes led us to stop. Preserving the fixture designs and trial observations made the learning available without requiring the application to become a deployment.
