Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare electronically controlled and robotically operated system
  2. Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures implemented in preparation for work
  3. Scope of work to be undertaken is determined from performance specifications, situation reports and in consultation with relevant person/s
  4. Activities are planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with person/s involved in the work
  5. Strategies are determined and solution developed and implemented in accordance with workplace procedures
  6. Set up electronically controlled and robotically operated system
  7. Controls and integrated robot systems are applied in developing analytical solutions to machine parameters/faults and operation
  8. Parameter specifications and performance requirements in relation to each circuit and robot device are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and relevant industry standards
  9. Setting up maintenance and/or modification activity is carried out to provide the most effective solution/s in accordance with workplace procedures
  10. Unplanned events are dealt with safely and effectively in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace policy and procedures
  11. Quality of work is monitored in accordance with performance agreement and/or workplace procedures or relevant industry standards
  12. Document and report results of system set-up and actions taken
  13. Set-up maintenance activity and/or modification is documented to include details of fault findings, calculations and assumptions
  14. Set-up maintenance activity and/or modification is reported to appropriate person/s to determine suitable action/s to be taken based on fault-finding analysis
  15. Justification for analysis findings and any actions to be undertaken in relation to the work activity are documented for inclusion in work/project records in accordance with relevant standards and workplace procedures
