01 Answer first
Is a new factory easier than installing a bottling line in an existing building?
A new factory offers design freedom but requires coordinated local design and construction. An existing site may reduce building work while adding verified-condition, access, tie-in, shutdown and contamination-control risks. Both need controlled site evidence.
02 Where it fits
Position in the project journey
Site strategy - before layout, local design, utility and construction release.
03 Buyer inputs
What the buyer should prepare
- Product, container and pack requirement
- Target output and operating plan
- Factory, utility and destination information
- Decision owners and required schedule
04 Allot Tech and manufacturing-resource inputs
What should be clarified or provided
- Clarified configuration and interface questions
- Project-specific technical and commercial boundary
- Required drawings, records and acceptance inputs
Allot Tech coordinates requirement, quotation and project communication. Detailed engineering, manufacture, testing, documentation and confirmed service are performed by selected manufacturing resources according to the signed scope.
05 Technical scope
Questions and work to control
Audit the Existing Condition Before Reusing It
Verify dimensions, structure, floor, levels, drainage, doors, clear height, access, utilities, electrical capacity, water source, ventilation, rooms, storage, traffic, fire and safety constraints, and any operating equipment. Mark documents as verified, outdated, or unknown.
Use Greenfield Flexibility to Protect Flow and Access
A new factory can coordinate process flow, hygiene zoning, utilities, drainage, equipment movement, maintenance, storage, laboratories, personnel, waste, and future expansion before construction. That opportunity is lost if the building freezes around an unapproved generic layout.
- Equipment and material routes from receiving to dispatch
- Utility generation, distribution, connection, isolation, and drainage
- Construction, permits, safety, local design, and inspection ownership
Plan Brownfield Tie-Ins and Production Disruption
For an operating site, define demolition, relocation, shutdown windows, temporary services, contamination protection, safe isolation, access, storage, local contractor control, and return-to-service approvals. Existing utilities must be tested against the final equipment requirements.
Release the Site Basis With Evidence
Approve a survey, controlled layout, utility schedule, civil and local-work register, tie-in plan, and readiness checklist. The equipment supplier should not be assumed to certify the building or local regulatory compliance unless explicitly contracted.
Buyer questions answered
Practical answers before you request a quotation
Can an existing utility nameplate prove capacity?
No. Verify condition, quality, distribution, peak demand, connection points and availability under the intended operating state.
What should a brownfield survey include?
Record physical dimensions, access, structure, utilities, drainage, existing equipment, live operations, tie-ins, shutdowns, safety and unknown conditions.
Who approves the building?
Qualified local designers and authorities control building and regulatory approvals unless a signed agreement assigns a specific service.
06 Responsibility
Assign the owner before the work is due
Land, building and civil work, permits, import and customs, local taxes, site utilities, unloading, lifting, local labor, travel support and commissioning materials are not automatically included. Confirm every responsibility before order.
07 Common risks
What commonly creates avoidable uncertainty
- Open assumptions are treated as agreed facts
- Interfaces or exclusions remain invisible
- Completion evidence is discussed too late
08 Acceptance or completion
How to know the stage is complete
Completion is based on the criteria and evidence defined for the project, not on a generic website statement.
09 Required documents
Records that support the decision
- Confirmed requirement or specification
- Scope and responsibility record
- Relevant drawings and review register
- Acceptance or completion record
10 Next project step
Put this stage into your project brief
Share the information already available and mark what is still unknown. Allot Tech can use the same brief to coordinate a project-specific discussion with suitable manufacturing resources.
