ZhilianhaiPreparing a Robot Application Brief
What the brief should cover
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| Objective | The problem to solve and how success is measured |
| Process | Current method, takt, shifts and volumes |
| Product | Parts, sizes, weights, materials and variation |
| Environment | Space, services, dust, temperature and hazards |
| Constraints | Budget, downtime windows and existing equipment |
| Decisions | Who evaluates and when a decision will be made |
Why it helps
- Suppliers can propose options rather than guessing at the scope.
- You get comparable proposals instead of unrelated offers.
- The brief becomes the basis of the specification later.
The brief does not need to be long. It needs to be specific and honest about open points.
