What the plant needs beyond the production machinery. Access control, CCTV,
and whole-factory HVAC control are set requirements; the rest of this list
is what a plant of this profile definitely needs, to be refined during site
design.
## Climate control: whole-factory HVAC
The entire factory runs under continuous HVAC control, covering temperature,
humidity, and particulate matter (PM). This is a set requirement, not an
option per room.
- **Temperature and humidity**: the process spec already demands 20-26 °C at
35-60% relative humidity for pressing; the same conditioning extends to
the whole building so materials, masters, packaging stock, and electronics
never sit outside controlled conditions. PVC compound and paper packaging
are both humidity-sensitive.
- **Particulate matter**: filtration for the whole plant, with stricter
tiers by zone. Dust in a groove is an audible defect, so the cutting room
and galvanics clean room run at the tightest spec with positive pressure;
pressing and packaging run cleaner than ambient; offices and logistics at
a baseline tier. Northern Thailand's burning season (roughly February to
April) brings some of the world's worst PM2.5 episodes, so intake
filtration and building tightness must be designed for those peaks, not
for average days.
- **Continuous monitoring and alarms**: temperature, humidity, and PM
sensors logging in every zone, with alarms on excursions, tied into the
plant monitoring below.
- **Energy design**: conditioning a whole factory in a tropical climate is
a major electrical load on top of the 250 kW process cooling, and it must
be included in the solar PV and battery sizing from the start. Heat
recovery from the press hall (steam, hydraulics, and hot PVC all reject
heat) and from compressors should feed the design rather than fight it.

storm seasons; the PV array, steel structures, and electronics all need a

production (the process spec calls for 20-26 °C, 35-60% RH), the archive,
and the clean room.

# Process Logging and Traceability
Every step of production is logged continuously, so that every record is
traceable end to end for the customer. This is a set requirement, and it is
the core specification for the factory software this repository will
eventually host.
## What a customer can trace
For any order, the customer can follow the full chain:
1. **Audio intake**: file received, checksums, versions, who handled it,
approval trail
2. **Mastering**: session log, engineer, settings, customer approvals
3. **Cutting**: lacquer IDs, lathe parameters, stylus used, inspection
result
4. **Galvanics**: silvering and plating batch IDs, bath chemistry logs,
father/mother/stamper genealogy (which stamper came from which mother
from which father), or the external stamper supplier and batch if bridged
5. **Pressing**: press ID, operator, shift, mold and stamper IDs, cycle
parameters (temperatures, pressures, cycle times), PVC compound lot and
virgin/recycled mix, label lot
6. **Quality control**: test pressing approvals, inspection results, reject
counts and reasons
7. **Finishing and packaging**: trimming, sleeving, carton lot, packaging
partner batch
8. **Fulfillment**: warehouse location, shipment or dropshipping consignment,
carrier tracking per end customer
## Principles
- **Log at the source**: machine data comes from the machine (the presses
and the plating rectifiers expose PLC data; the AD12 supports remote
monitoring), not from manual transcription. Manual steps get simple
operator check-ins, not paperwork.
- **Batch and genealogy first**: every physical artifact (lacquer, father,
mother, stamper, press run, box) gets an ID, and every ID knows its
parents. A customer complaint about one record resolves to a specific
stamper, press, shift, and compound lot.
- **Environment attached**: the whole-factory HVAC monitoring (temperature,
humidity, PM per zone) is logged on the same timeline, so any production
window can be correlated with plant conditions.
- **Immutable and retained**: logs are append-only and retained for the
life of the customer relationship; stamper genealogy is retained as long
as the archive holds the metal parts.
- **Customer-facing view**: traceability is a product feature, not an
internal file. Customers get a per-order view (portal or report) covering
the chain above, without exposing other customers' data.
## Open design work
- Data model for batch genealogy across all eight steps
- Which PLC/machine interfaces each vendor exposes (ask Newbilt, Pheenix
Alpha, and Digital Matrix during procurement, before purchase)
- Retention, backup, and PDPA handling for operator-linked records
- Whether test-pressing approval workflows live in the same system from day
one
This system should be specified alongside equipment procurement: machine
data access is a purchasing requirement, not an afterthought.
