Why Factory Acceptance Testing Matters: A Closer Look at Robotic Solutions’ Process
When investing in automation, there’s one question every manufacturer asks: Will it work the way we expect once it’s on our floor? At Robotic Solutions, we answer that question before installation even begins—through our comprehensive Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) process.
What is a Factory Acceptance Test?
A Factory Acceptance Test is a critical milestone where we bring your system to life in our facility—giving you the opportunity to see your investment in action before it ever ships.
Whether it’s a CMA Robotics spraying cell or a KUKA robotic handling system, we simulate real production conditions so you can experience how the system will perform in your operation.
What You Can Expect During FAT
During your visit, you won’t just see a machine—you’ll see your process taking shape.
We walk customers through:
While not every element is finalized—such as full production speeds or complete upstream/downstream integration—you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how everything comes together.
Why This Step is So Important
Factory Acceptance Testing isn’t just a demonstration—it’s a strategic advantage.
By validating the system early, we’re able to:
- Identify and resolve potential issues before installation
- Fine-tune programming and process details
- Align expectations between your team and ours
- Reduce surprises during startup
Most importantly, FAT significantly shortens the timeline once the system reaches your facility.
A Smoother Installation, Faster Results
Because we’ve already tested and validated key functions, on-site installation becomes far more efficient. Instead of troubleshooting from scratch, our team can focus on final integration, optimization, and getting you into production faster.
For manufacturers, that means:
- Greater confidence in the system from day one
- Less downtime
- Faster ramp-up
Built for Confidence
Automation is a major investment, and confidence matters. Our Factory Acceptance Testing process ensures that when your system arrives, it’s not a question of if it will work—but how soon you’ll be running at full capacity.
At Robotic Solutions, FAT isn’t just a step in the process—it’s how we deliver reliability, performance, and peace of mind before your system ever hits your floor.
