ZhilianhaiSite Readiness Checklist Before a Robot Arrives
Physical readiness
- Floor flatness and load rating verified for the cell base and any crane path.
- Clearance for maintenance access behind and above the robot, not just the working side.
- Delivery route measured: door widths, turning radii, forklift capacity and lift height.
Utilities
| Utility | Typical requirement | Check before order |
|---|---|---|
| Power | Dedicated circuit, correct voltage and earthing | Panel spare capacity and breaker type |
| Compressed air | Dry, filtered, stable pressure at the cell | Pipe size and drain point |
| Network | Switch port and fixed IP or DHCP reservation | Cable route and cabinet space |
| Cooling | Cabinet ventilation or chiller for high-duty cells | Ambient temperature in summer |
People and process
Name the operators, the maintenance technician and the safety officer before installation. A robot that arrives without a named owner spends its first month being unboxed by whoever is available. Agree the run-in hours, the shift pattern for the trial and who can stop the cell.
Hand this checklist to the integrator as a document, not a conversation. Anything not on paper becomes a change order.
