A LiSEC stand-alone machine is an excellent choice for optimising production processes and increasing efficiency. However, there are some points to consider before starting installation, in order to ensure that everything goes smoothly and that the machine can be started up optimally.
Defining a central point of contact
Successful installation starts with designating a point of contact who has comprehensive information on the project. This person knows the circumstances and the conditions on-site, as well as the systems for the new machine and is familiar with the operational details. They assist with installation from planning to acceptance and are available on-site for any issues or queries that the LiSEC fitters may have. A central point of contact eases quick decision making and problem solving on-site, which minimises delays and ensures a smooth installation process.
Ensuring deadline clarity
Another important aspect for successful cooperation is ensuring mutual understanding when it comes to the agreed deadlines. Both the delivery date and the start of installation must be clearly defined for all involved. Careful agreement avoids duplicate journeys, delays on-site and unfulfilled expectations on both sides. Therefore, both the customer and the LiSEC team are well prepared and fully satisfied with the installation process.
Clarifying the air and power connections
An in-depth prior clarification of the connection values for air and power is another decisive factor for smooth installation. This clarification can take place in a meeting between the installation coordinators at LiSEC and the customer’s central point of contact around two weeks before the delivery date. By exchanging all relevant information, many potential problems can be solved in advance. This saves time and avoids short-term workarounds.
Announcing the availability of lifting equipment
Advance information on the availability of the lifting equipment required for installation is decisive for managing delays and risks. It is important to clarify whether a crane, a forklift or no lifting equipment is available in advance. If a crane has to be organised, this can be planned in advance in order to avoid unnecessary delays and to minimise the risk.
Information regarding applicable safety requirements and legal regulations
Advance information on the local safety requirements or the safety topics relevant for the LiSEC fitters enables work to be planned and carried out efficiently. In this way, all people involved can ensure that they take the required precautions in order to prevent accidents and injuries. In addition, the knowledge of these regulations helps to ensure that all work is performed in accordance with the applicable laws.
Prepared installation location
The last success factor is a well prepared location for installing the new machine. If the location for the machine is clean and clear for the LiSEC installation team, they can start work immediately. Time-consuming, last-minute coordination on-site is unnecessary and installation is efficient and timely. It is also very important to check the ground conditions with regard to unevenness and slopes.
Considering these six factors aids with installing the LiSEC machine considerably. LiSEC is available at any time to ensure that the process is as smooth as possible. Active cooperation provides the best prerequisites for successful start-up.
