Training Operators for a New Robot Cell
Operators who understand the cell keep it running.
What to cover
| Topic | Content |
|---|---|
| Normal operation | Start-up, running, changeover and shutdown |
| Recovery | What to do after a stop, a fault or a jam |
| Quality | Checks, sampling and what to do with suspect parts |
| Limits | What operators must not adjust or open |
| Escalation | Who to call and what information to record |
Approach
- Train on the real cell rather than in a classroom only.
- Assess competence with a practical demonstration.
- Keep a short reference sheet at the machine.
- Repeat the training when the process changes.
Training should be completed and recorded before the cell enters normal production.
