B.2.2:5.3 - Production Cell

A machine, robot, fixture, workpiece carrier, and inspection station can become a production cell when the cell has its own delimitation, objective, obtaining coordination relations, transformation structure, exact work occurrences, and capability envelope. Evidence separately supports the claims about those facts.

A fixture being manufactured as a workpiece is not part of the machine merely because the machine changes it. The production cell claim needs a result system; the manufacturing relation remains transformation and work.
