Specify the handling tasks included in automation.
Define how preforms enter the process, how bottles are removed and where they go next. Compare automatic configurations against that workflow and the target output; an automatic label alone does not establish loading, take-down or conveyor scope.
- List the loading, removal and transfer tasks that still require an operator.
- Compare quoted output using the same bottle drawing, preform, cavity count and acceptance criteria; do not compare model names alone.
- Downstream conveyor, take-down and filling interface can change the final route.
