What an assessment for MEM29009 must cover

44 assessable components: 5 elements (21 performance criteria), 9 performance evidence and 14 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Assess collaborative robot proposed workspaces

1.1Identify features, specifications and system requirements of collaborative robots to be configured including level of incorporated human safety
1.2Identify workplace health and safety (WHS) procedures and risk control measures relevant to working with proposed collaborative robots
1.3Review proposed human-collaborative robot shared spaces for suitability and safety and identify human and robot operation risk factors
1.4Identify need for workspace modifications and follow procedures for ensuring modifications are made

2 Prepare to configure collaborative robots

2.1Identify task requirements from documentation, work request or discussion with relevant personnel, and clarify where required
2.2Source and interpret manufacturer’s operating instructions, specifications, and engineering drawings for information relevant to collaborative robot tasks
2.3Identify required materials, parts or components and calculate quantity requirements in accordance with specifications, drawings, job sheets or work instructions
2.4Identify communication and networking requirements for workplace collaborative robots
2.5Consult with appropriate personnel to ensure planned work is coordinated effectively with others

3 Configure collaborative robots for tasks or job runs

3.1Follow WHS procedures and risk control measures associated with setting up collaborative robots
3.2Train collaborative robot in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and job requirements
3.3Test collaborative robot networking and data transfer performance is within specifications
3.4Verify collaborative robot operates in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and job requirements

4 Work with collaborative robot on a test task or job run

4.1Follow WHS procedures and risk control measures for working with and in proximity of collaborative robots
4.2Work with collaborative robot to complete required task or job run
4.3Evaluate collaborative robot performance against job requirements
4.4Evaluate collaborative robot data transfer and connectivity during task or job run
4.5Troubleshoot problems in operation and networking of the collaborative robot in accordance with manufacturer’s operating instructions, job requirements and organisational procedures
4.6Document troubleshooting procedures and outcomes and seek expert assistance where required

5 Complete and document work

5.1Document task or job run outcomes according to organisation requirements
5.2Clean and restore work area ready for further collaborative robot use

Questions about assessing MEM29009

What does an assessment tool for MEM29009 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM29009 needs to address all 44 unit components: 5 elements with 21 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 14 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM29009?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM29009 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM29009 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM29009 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM29009, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
