Scaling from One Robot Cell to a Line
The second cell is easier if the first one was documented properly.
What to reuse
| Asset | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Program structure | Consistency and faster commissioning |
| Tooling design | Proven tooling reduces development risk |
| Standard interfaces | Simpler spares and staff training |
| Documentation | Faster fault finding across several cells |
| Data model | Consistent reporting and analysis |
What to revisit
- Check whether the bottleneck has moved to a different station.
- Re-examine the network and control architecture at higher device counts.
- Review maintenance workload before adding more cells.
- Confirm the staffing model still works at the new scale.
Scaling changes the system behaviour. Re-validate safety and cycle time at every step.
