Build the custom machine with open issues in view

A one-off transfer station brings cycle target, bought-in parts, fabrication and tests together. Keep their actual state on the project for engineering, purchasing and assembly.

  1. Anchor the brief

    Machine type, target cycle, site and delivery aim stay with the project.

  2. Spot a constraint

    Bill of materials, procurement and shop tasks show what a delayed component blocks.

  3. Prepare honest testing

    Assembly and commissioning records distinguish planned checks from results and open faults.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

The gripper has not arrived for the trial run

Example: a customer orders a station transferring trays between two conveyors, targeting twelve trays per minute. The bought-in gripper has no confirmed delivery date. A guard-door stop check is listed for the trial run but has not been performed.

  1. Trace the dependency

    The project lead links the gripper BOM line to purchasing and assembly work.

  2. Discuss the delay

    The team identifies what can be pre-assembled and asks the supplier for an updated date.

  3. Leave the test open

    The guard-door check remains untested until a qualified person performs it and records the result.

The customer can see the supply risk and pending check. A target or empty checklist is not evidence of performance or acceptance.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Open a sample project

    Use invented machine type, target cycle, site and phases.

  2. Add real work items

    Enter gripper and conveyor positions, a purchase line and a production operation.

  3. Set up a trial record

    Create commissioning checks as open and review what evidence is still needed.

Questions before you start

Does a filled machine file certify CE conformity?
No. Risk assessment, technical evidence, applicable procedure and responsible approval remain specialist work.
Is a listed check already passed?
No. Record the result only after the physical test and review.
Does the Desk measure achieved throughput?
No. The target is project data; actual rate must be measured on the machine.

Before sign-off

Prepare a custom machine for factory acceptance

An industrial customer orders a custom machine; assemblies and test points need review before acceptance.

  1. Compare the parts list with confirmed assemblies.

  2. Review production status with the assembly team.

  3. Record open points from factory acceptance.

Open acceptance points are ready for the next customer discussion.
