01 / MISSION

Define the operating envelope.

The objective: evaluating repeatable joining and surface-processing applications. Start with one bounded workflow and record how it is completed today. The decision owner is typically among fabricators and finishing operations. Document where human judgment remains necessary before selecting a machine.

02 / SITE FIT

The environment is part of the specification.

Fixtures, ventilation, process hazards, consumables, and specialist commissioning. Build these conditions into the demonstration, including the less convenient parts of a normal operating day. Confirm recovery behavior, maintenance access, and who owns an unresolved exception.

03 / ACCEPTANCE TESTS

Prove the workflow.

Sample quality on production material
Seam or surface variation
Cell access and operator training

04 / SUCCESS METRICS

Measure useful output.

Rework percentage

Accepted output per process hour

Compare the baseline with pilot results, including human assistance, failed cycles, consumables, and service time.
