Move Second Hand Production Lines With Confidence

As product demands shift globally, it is often that existing production lines can be put to better use in another country. Moving lines from the USA or Europe to Africa or the Middle East is common, but the process of ensuring quick removal, shipment, and installation can be a challenge.

No Longer Worry About Old, Inaccurate Drawings

In general, layouts and drawings of existing equipment can be inaccurate and 10+ years out-of-date. Relying on these documents can cause real problems when the equipment shows up to the new facility with “surprises.” False assumptions about the new location can cost time and money. Easily eliminate these risks by working with Factory Reality.

We send an operator to the existing site to take an ultra-precise 3D laser scan of the entire line. The result is a 3D scan of all line equipment used for accurate measurement and analysis of the line’s current state. The 3D scan data can even be modeled to provide you top and side view DWG drawings of the equipment. This makes laying out the equipment in the new facility a breeze.

Know Where You Will Need Utility Connections

As the receiving facility prepares the site for the new equipment, knowing the exact location of utility and piping connections is critical. With a high-quality 3D scan and model, planning for these connections is simple and easily done in advance of the equipment arriving to site.

Quickly Answer Questions As They Arise

It is inevitable that as the equipment transfer process moves along, new questions pop up that layouts and photos can’t answer. This means more time is wasted asking the sending factory to check something out and reply with more information. Once the 3D laser scan of the equipment is taken, nearly all of the follow-up questions can be answered simply by pulling up the line on your desktop.
