Agree. A higher level system not necessarily real time, ordinary computer works. Tell robot to insert part using program, then iserted feed program to CNC tell it to run it, then done tell robot to remove part ... or tell operator.
Have comment about server as this is according to my terminology which I think is the same as most other a device waiting flor clients to connect. Assuming Linuxcnc stand waiting for a command in user interface or connected over the network server will be run on Linuxcnc while client is run on a higher level. To have central higher level application run as server waiting for clients to connect would require programming in both ends. > Having it controlled by a central server is probably a good idea.
