PLAN TECH, INC. is a specialized American industrial planning engineering firm based in Loudon, New Hampshire, fully focused on factory layout optimization, digital plant design, material flow simulation, production line arrangement, warehouse spatial planning, and industrial facility upgrade design serving manufacturers across New England and the Northeast United States. Unlike broad automation integrators or single-discipline mechanical engineering companies, Plan Tech concentrates entirely on the spatial logic of manufacturing facilities: how machinery, conveyors, robotic cells, storage zones, personnel pathways, and loading docks interact to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce transport waste, improve safety, and maximize usable floor space. Our cyan and graphite visual identity symbolizes precise digital CAD drafting, transparent workflow simulation, structured facility planning, and data-driven factory reorganization for growing manufacturing operations. All 2D CAD layouts, 3D plant digital twins, material flow simulation models and safety compliance drawings we deliver follow OSHA workplace standards, NFPA industrial building codes, and modern lean manufacturing principles. We provide a complete end-to-end planning service for existing factories and new-build industrial facilities: professional 2D & 3D CAD factory layout drafting, discrete event material flow simulation, lean manufacturing space optimization, robotic cell spatial integration design, warehouse racking and logistics zone planning, expansion layout design for growing production sites, safety aisle & emergency route layout, migration planning for equipment relocation, technical documentation for construction permits, and on-site post-implementation review to validate layout performance. Our corporate office, CAD design studio, simulation computing lab and document archive are located at 7031 Shaker Rd Unit J, Loudon, NH 03307, conveniently positioned between Concord and Manchester with easy highway access to manufacturing clients throughout New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts. Our team consists of senior industrial engineers, CAD plant designers, material flow simulation specialists and lean manufacturing consultants equipped with high-performance workstations for large-scale factory digital modeling. Our standard project workflow begins with an on-site facility walkthrough, full mapping of current production bottlenecks, waste analysis of internal material transport, creation of multiple alternative layout proposals, digital simulation testing of each design variant, final drawing package delivery, support during equipment relocation, and post-installation efficiency audit. Layout plans engineered by Plan Tech typically cut internal material handling travel distances by up to 46% and improve overall facility throughput without requiring major building expansion.
Request On-Site Facility Layout AssessmentPLAN TECH, INC. is an incorporated US business located at 7031 Shaker Rd Unit J, Loudon, NH, US 03307. The company was founded by industrial engineering professionals with more than 28 combined years of experience designing factory layouts, simulating material movement and reorganizing production facilities for manufacturers across the Northeast. Plan Tech was established to fill a clear regional gap: most engineering firms focus on machine hardware, PLC programming or structural building work, but lack dedicated specialists trained in lean spatial planning, discrete flow simulation and production facility rearrangement. Every member of our team holds formal industrial engineering qualifications, CAD plant design certifications and hands-on knowledge of manufacturing environments including metal fabrication, food processing, woodworking, plastics molding, packaging and automotive component assembly. Each project starts with comprehensive on-site data collection: recording machine dimensions, cycle times, material transfer routes, staffing patterns, storage volumes and safety constraints. We develop multiple layout scenarios and test each one inside simulation software to predict congestion, waiting times and space utilization before any physical equipment movement occurs. Inside our Loudon design studio we generate fully dimensioned editable CAD files, complete 3D digital plant twins, colored aisle route schematics and risk assessments for OSHA safety compliance. Our key competitive advantage is full specialization in factory layout and material flow engineering, with a permanent local office in Loudon New Hampshire, dedicated simulation computing lab and no outsourced design labor. All other industrial tech companies focus on hardware integration, solar systems, woodworking automation, welding lines or general mechanical design, without deep expertise in facility spatial optimization and production simulation. Plan Tech combines 2D/3D CAD drafting, digital factory simulation, lean layout consulting, warehouse design and safety route planning all under one roof. Our digital library securely stores all client plant models, allowing fast layout updates whenever businesses add new machinery or expand product lines. From our Shaker Road office our engineering consultants can reach manufacturing facilities across central and southern New Hampshire within one hour for site surveys and follow-up reviews. We offer three scalable service tiers suited to facility size and project scope: Starter Layout Package – 2D CAD revised production layout for small single-line workshops; Standard Facility Package – complete 3D plant model + material flow simulation + warehouse zone reorganization; Enterprise Campus Package – multi-building master expansion plan, multiple simulation iterations, long-term layout advisory and support during phased factory relocation. All digital drawings, simulation data and facility documentation are stored on US-hosted secure servers.
Creation of fully dimensioned, editable industrial facility drawings, machine placement schematics, personnel aisle layouts, loading zone arrangement, emergency exit routing, and scalable drawing packages compatible with mainstream CAD software. Suitable for existing factory remodeling and new construction industrial buildings.
Digital simulation of internal material transport, conveyor movement, pallet traffic, waiting times and production bottlenecks. Test multiple layout alternatives virtually before moving any machinery, predict congestion points and calculate potential efficiency gains for each proposed arrangement.
Application of lean principles to eliminate unnecessary material travel, minimize WIP storage, group related processes into cellular manufacturing zones, reduce cross-facility transport waste and create compact, high-throughput production arrangements.
Layout planning for industrial robot work cells, conveyor systems, automated palletizers and PLC-controlled production lines. Calculate required safety clearance zones, operator interaction areas and maintenance access space for all automated equipment.
Racking layout, inbound/outbound flow design, raw material storage allocation, finished goods staging area design, forklift aisle sizing and inventory zone segregation to speed loading/unloading and reduce handling damage.
Master layout plans for factory expansion projects, step-by-step equipment migration schedules to avoid full production shutdown, temporary work zone design and coordination guidance for machinery moving contractors.
Evaluation of aisle widths, machine safety distances, fire access routes, emergency evacuation paths and hazard zone separation. Produce annotated drawings demonstrating compliance for internal audits and official workplace inspections.
Professional on-site facility measurement and data collection, periodic layout performance reviews, quick drawing revisions as product lines change, continuous improvement consulting for manufacturers expanding operations in New England.
We performed full site measurement, developed multiple cellular manufacturing layout options, ran material movement simulations and delivered complete CAD drawing packages. After equipment rearrangement, average material transport distance decreased by 43% and shift productivity improved noticeably.
Designed new connected production flow between extrusion, printing and packaging stations, redesigned forklift aisles and finished goods staging areas. Simulation results were used to justify the investment in factory rearrangement to company management.
Consolidated scattered molding machines into connected manufacturing cells, optimized raw material delivery routes and updated evacuation and safety zone layouts to satisfy OSHA workplace requirements during annual facility inspection.
