Good morning, I've been tasked with installing old equipment from another plant into our own plant in the coming months. I'm working on a checklist of what all I should be prepared for and looking at. These machines are already running production at the old plant, I just need to move them to my plant, install them, and start running parts through them. Could y'all please review the checklist I've created so far and add anything I may have missed, as this will be my first time. I'll be traveling up to that plant in a few weeks to look at the machines, so I'm trying to see what all I might need to look for. These machines are used to create camshafts. Any more advice and experience shared are appreciated. Thanks a million!

Checklist
-electrical requirements
----FLA of machine, correct disconnects size, fuse size/ Circuit breaker size in ceiling
----correct power/voltage drops
----correct AWG gauge size of incoming wires, communication wires, etc.
----electrical prints
----spare parts
-pneumatic requirements
----air line drop location
----pressure required
----pneumatic prints
----spare parts
-coolant requirements
----pressure / amount required
----coolant prints
-hydraulic requirements
----pressure / amount required
----hyd. prints
----spare parts
-cell layout / mechanical
----create space for operators to move around
----create space for future robots, create different elec cabinet for Robot i/o
----create space for future conveyors if required
----enough room for chip collectors / chip bins / dust bins
----floor thickness requirement for each machine, do machines need extra support / slabs made / anchors
----appropriate cell fencing / robot fencing
----spare parts
-cycle times requirements (parts per shift with X amount of operators / setups)
----future increase / decrease in parts required
----how many setups / operators / shifts available that we want to run
-safety standards for each machine
----FMEA (failure mode + effects analysis)
-process guide / control plan
----step by step guide on what each machine does for each part.
-operator / setup / tech / maintenance / PM instructions + schedule
-preparation for delivery week
----see potential weather for that week
----can we unload ourselves or call in 3rd party to unload from truck and move into cell?
----make sure machines can fit in through the entry gate
----create route from entry gate to location inside plant
