Self-Service Machine Site Survey Checklist

Fill the site identity, access, route-specific utilities and operating checks in that order. Applicable scope: these four groups are the survey inputs for the configuration discussion. An unknown measurement stays unresolved rather than becoming zero or proof of readiness.

Self-Service Machine Site Survey Checklist

Project and site identification

Send the country, site operator, equipment route, quantity plan and survey date. Mark anything still open, and leave an unknown value open. Record the source or observation status, the responsible role, and the next step for each input.

Commercial Self-Service Dog Wash Stations — Route input for this survey when the equipment category is a commercial dog wash: record the footprint, customer approach, service access, water, drainage and electrical supply named for that station.

Access, users and service space

Record each access input in the table. Use a drawing reference where available. The plan separates the equipment footprint, the customer waiting and collection area, and the clearance to open a door, panel or replenishment point.

Packaging, Freight & Delivery Planning — Input for the delivery route and access dimensions on this survey: final packed dimensions, gross weight, package count, and who receives the shipment. Installation stays a later step.

A is the customer waiting and collection area. B is the available footprint. C is the door, panel and replenishment clearance. Schematic, not to scale.

Utilities and route-specific review

Record the electrical supply and its reviewer, network availability and its owner, and the environmental conditions. Confirm cooling or ventilation requirements. Add water supply and drainage, or a heat and preparation review, only when the route requires them. Mark irrelevant fields as not applicable.

Operation and acceptance

Record the products, materials or user task, the payment or authorisation route, replenishment and cleaning responsibilities, the required operating demonstration, interrupted-cycle and fault checks, the documents for local review, and the acceptance authority. Keep open questions with an owner and a next action. Keep a copy with the proposed configuration.

Site Preparation & Installation Responsibilities — Next step after these survey inputs: the installation review covers delivery access, utilities, site works, contractor responsibilities and handover checks. Completing this checklist records the inputs.

Frequently asked questions

Can an unclear dimension be entered as zero?

Leave an unclear dimension open. An unknown measurement stays unresolved rather than becoming zero or proof of readiness. Installation dimensions come from the actual machine documentation. Operating and maintenance clearance is recorded for the proposed location, separately from the cabinet footprint, using the drawing for the model being considered.

Does a packaged-goods project need water supply and drainage?

Mark water supply and drainage not applicable unless that equipment route names them. Add water or drainage works to a packaged-goods project only when the equipment requirement names them. Dry-product equipment is assessed on its own requirements. A commercial dog wash records the water connection, drainage route and electrical supply for that station.

Does completing this checklist mean the site can be installed?

Completion of this checklist records the survey inputs. Installation readiness is confirmed in the qualified site review. Installation steps come from that machine’s installation drawing and the agreed scope, including delivery access, utilities, site works and handover checks. Receiving the shipment stays separate from completing installation.
