Robotic End-of-Arm Tooling worked example

Delivery Risk with gripper delivery severity of 3 score: a worked example in robotic end-of-arm tooling

This worked example runs the delivery risk numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: gripper delivery severity of 3 score instead of the typical 6 score. Estimate delivery risk for robotic end-of-arm tooling using production-ready inputs so teams can rank risks and decide which issue needs containment, controls, or escalation first.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Gripper delivery severity (impact if EOAT ships late): 3 score (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 6)
  • Gripper delivery occurrence (likelihood of a slip): 4 score (held at the documented default)
  • Gripper delivery detection (chance you catch it early): 3 score (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Delivery risk score = delivery risk severity score × delivery risk occurrence score × delivery risk detection score.
  • Delivery risk score works out to 3.35 score at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Delivery risk severity score works out to 3 score at these inputs.
  • Delivery risk occurrence score works out to 4 score at these inputs.
  • Delivery risk detection score works out to 3 score at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where gripper delivery severity sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 26.37% below the baseline at 3.35 score.
  • Use it during EOAT sourcing and build planning to rank which gripper, tool-changer, or fixture deliveries to expedite or dual-source. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
