Implementation issues The estimated cycle time was 100 Sec and

we were not able to achieve this time. The actual that we could achieve is 125 sec .

Reference location taken for this part was incorrect and the variation in dimension at this location was high so, inconsistency in fettling was observed.

Some areas of the casting was not accessible by robot .
