56 PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY AAC WORLDWIDE %u2022 3.2025Factory layout engineeringPlant layout engineering in Phase 1 is a critical step that translates product and capacity targets defined through market and competitiveness analysis into a technically sound production concept. Aircrete begins by selecting the most suitable equipment configuration to support the required output and product portfolio. The Aircrete engineering team evaluates different machinery options and automation levels, balancing performance with investment efficiency to ensure the best possible return on investment. And at the same time, undoubtedly, focusing on future-proofing the project: layouts are designed with scalability and product diversification in mind, allowing the plant to expand as market needs evolve. Site planning is also an essential element of this phase. Whether working with an existing land plot or evaluating a new location, Aircrete engineers factor in site logistics such as vehicle movement, raw material inflow, stockyard access, and finished goods handling.For upgrade projects, Aircrete complements project planning with 3D scanning of the existing plant to ensure seamless integration with new equipment via building information modelling1.
