So just bought a land, without knowing EXACTLY what are you going to do with it ?
I won a project and they offered a good land or money, I choose the land, because it's way better, considering it would get capital gain over the years, without doing anything!
If multi-story then you'd likely want at least 3 stories. 1 for offices. 1 for PnP and other electronics assembly. 1 for packaging and shipment and storage (always make it the bottom for good truck pallet access.)
Thanks for the tips
Are you doing PCB Pick'n'Place yourself? If so, how many lines?
I'd be talking with a PnP machine supplier first to get an idea for how many lines you need and typical sizes and floor areas for that, they will know this.
All PnP you'd want to do in a nice clean office type environment, not a big tall tin roof factory etc.
Is there messy/dirty industrial machining or chemical type stuff to be done? Is so that needs it's own section, maybe with the traditional factory roof and ventilation access to shop air and water etc.
First of all, we are small, But I think some how big! I think if we could design and produce and sell something moderate complexity in the order of 100-200 USD and we could sell around 10K units for each yer, we are doing great! so after that we have more money and we can buy additional lands,
I was thinking of having these lines for the future, a small PNP for electronic assembly (1 line for now) I have seen around 4-5 lines in my city,so I think a small line something like a 200-500 sq meter area for that would do the job, I want to have a mechanics line too, it should have 3 and 5 axies CNC, plastic injection machine, a lathe some other mechanical machines, like a wire cut, a spark machine, etc... I think it would need around 1000 sq meter, some test and QC room, some test chambers like big ovens for testing product in 60C for 24 hours, around 200 sq meter, some office area around 200-300 sq meter, there is lot's of space left to fill the void! Also I plan to put solar panels at the roof for managing to produce some parts of the building with the free sun energy,
These are my toughs, of course it's a bare land for now and It needs lot's of money to do all these things, so there is another challenge for me to mange to do these things in the correct order so that I can do it all in under 3-5 years.!
