The One-Page Requirement That Can Push Your Automation Go-Live Back by 3 Weeks

One bullet point under customer responsibilities. Three weeks added to the schedule. In this clip from Episode 5 of The Automation Journey, Yara Alsuwailem, Head of Engineering and Implementation at EQ Depot, walks through one of the most common and avoidable causes of automation project delays: facility readiness obligations that customers don't know they own. A 100-page proposal communicates a floor flatness requirement once. The customer misses it. The integrator arrives on site. The floor isn't ready. Installation gets pushed. Commissioning gets pushed. Go-live gets pushed. Colin adds the listener takeaway directly: go through every long-form proposal page by page with the person who issued it. The integrator isn't hiding anything - but for customers new to automation, the impact of a single missed prerequisite isn't always obvious until it's too late. Watch the full episode to hear Yara's advice on scope management, multi-vendor coordination, and what good post go-live support actually looks like.
