How Robot Cells Recover After a Production Stop
A restart procedure has to account for the positions of tools, parts and people around the equipment.
When a machine stops mid-cycle, the controller may remember which steps it completed. The actual part may still be held by a gripper or sitting in a fixture that has moved.
A recovery sequence checks the cell state and guides trained operators through a controlled return to service. Interlocks and presence detection remain part of the process during recovery.
Test recovery from several points in the cycle, including a missing part and a lost sensor signal. The goal is a predictable restart without sacrificing parts or introducing a second fault.
