Reliable Robot Operations

If something breaks, how many minutes or hours do you need to fix it?

If not done right, writing and reading the documentation can consume a lot of time. But at least writing documentation should be the hardest part of it, so that the reader is able to read, understand and act fast if something happens. To achieve this the manufacturer shall provide customer-centric documentation. In addition to that, the documentation should be up-to-date as well as available online (searchable). Imagine the situation where some problems with the robot occur and the operator needs to find the written documentation somewhere and has to look up the problem manually.
 

Your Checklist
Ask for the documentation of the robot upfront to check if it fits your needs
Ask if the documentation is also available online and searchable
