Chapter 3: Site Preparation – Planning: Choosing The Site
Choosing The Site
There are two types of criteria that you should consider
when you choose the location of the 3070 / 79000
family system in your facility: criteria that are
dependent on the system and criteria that are not.
System-Independent Criteria
System-independent criteria are ones that only you can
determine. Examples are shop flow, department
locations, plant security, etc. You will probably use
these criteria to choose a prospective location and then
qualify that location using the system-dependent
criteria.
System-Dependent Criteria
System-dependent criteria come in two categories: those
that are easily modified if needed and those that are not
easily modified. The easy criteria will probably not
disqualify a prospective location, but the difficult
criteria might.
Easier criteria are storage space, ambient temperature,
cooling, electrical power availability, vacuum supply,
compressed air supply, and local area network cabling.
Difficult criteria are air quality, floor strength, ambient
vibrations, and physical access. Use the information
about difficult criteria described in this manual to
qualify prospective locations.
