In order to assess and determine the space requirements for production systems or other applications, block layouts are usually used at the beginning. These make it possible to determine the space requirements using simple placeholders (blocks). In addition to the space requirements for systems and their parts, this tool is also used to determine the access for material supplies.
It is difficult to estimate the space requirements in a hall for new or converted systems. A block layout is therefore used to help.
Here, the space requirements are iteratively integrated into the hall layout, from rough assumptions (rough blocks) to the fine contours of the later machines or system parts. In addition to the system components, a block layout also includes the walking, escape and rescue routes, the material supply of the line and the media supply.
The other spatial conditions such as hall pillars, passageways, parking and open spaces are also included and taken into account here. For this reason, the space required by systems or their arrangement is often different (larger) than otherwise absolutely necessary. By iteratively reworking the layout, changes in the space required can be quickly shown. If, for example, the different stands are placed on top of each other as layers, even an employee who is not familiar with the creation process can quickly determine what has been changed.
3D layouts are often created on the basis of a block layout. One of the biggest advantages of the block layout is that it avoids costly rework on the line and further unplanned investments.
