Reader Question: We have two machines of the same model, but very different model years. Both are running the same product with the same tools, but they read wildly different spindle load values. For example, one drill says 70% on the older machine, but 300% for the new machine. The cutting seems very stable in both. Should we be concerned? Miller’s Answer: This is a great observation and shows good familiarity with your processes and great attention to detail.

In the past, robotics companies turned to remote edge case handling either as a last step in the refinement of their product or not at all. Instead, they relied on customers to hire, train, and staff operators to be able to intervene when the robots fail. These groups typically do a small number of expensive pilot deployments with customers, with trained staff on-site to rescue the robots when they fail, and would spend years eliminating bugs before finally getting to 99.9999% reliability and be
