Instead of spending millions to make the system fully automated for
all those little problems that can occurr, why not include some
people to help out?  A small team could help set up the equipment
in a couple of days and return to the space station to monitor it.
Then when something breaks, they can go fix it.  It should be
relatively cheap to make a few updated lunar modules for temporary
visits to the Moon.  All you need is a lunar ferry (you'll need that
anyway to return the titanium).
