There were different tasks to be performed in two factory halls.
Part one of the job was to attach new information and type plates. This work was done by the WMS super trainee, quickly and thoroughly.
In addition, a CE acceptance was carried out.
As this order involved linking a WMS cell to a machine tool, it was necessary to carry out an overall acceptance of both machines.

A CE acceptance generally deals with an all-round safety check of the corresponding system(s).
Among other things, an inspection of all safety equipment takes place. For example, whether the safety doors are accessible at all times and whether there is sufficient space for the employees working on the machine. The emergency stop button may be pressed!
In addition, it is also tested whether all machine elements are firmly bolted to the hall floor and comply with the regulations. In order that the inspection process can be traced at a later date, every point listed in the acceptance test is recorded and documented with pictures.
This is done using a checklist drawn up by the company. It also records which measures – in the event of a defect – are taken to eliminate it.
