Project Overview
A world-class fabrication laboratory, from concept to launch
GreenBy was engaged to support the end-to-end execution of a modern FABLAB designed to advance innovation, digital manufacturing, research, skills development and product prototyping. The project demanded full technical coordination across infrastructure, procurement, installation, software, training, documentation, commissioning and post-deployment support.
Through structured project management and multidisciplinary execution, GreenBy transformed the FABLAB vision into a fully operational innovation facility.
The Challenge
One operational ecosystem, many moving parts
From power and connectivity to machine installation, user workflows, safety standards and operational handover, every component had to work together as one.
Multi-vendor coordination
Aligning multiple equipment suppliers, contractors and specialists into one synchronised delivery plan.
International procurement
Sourcing, tracking and clearing specialised laboratory equipment across international supply chains.
Complex infrastructure
Power, connectivity, servers and structured cabling engineered to support advanced fabrication.
High-end fabrication equipment
Precise positioning, configuration and calibration of demanding digital fabrication machines.
Operational readiness
Safety standards, user workflows and handover so the facility was ready to run from day one.
Our Process
Eight phases from discovery to launch
- 1
Discovery, Planning & Technical Design
Stakeholder engagement, site assessment and detailed technical planning defined the lab layout, equipment, ICT architecture, power needs and commissioning framework.
- 2
Procurement & Delivery Coordination
Coordinated supply and delivery of laboratory equipment, software, computers, networking and safety tools — each item reviewed, tracked and inspected.
- 3
Infrastructure Deployment
Structured cabling, fibre backbone, network equipment, wireless connectivity, servers, workstations and power routing established the technical foundation.
- 4
Equipment Installation & Configuration
Digital fabrication machines were positioned, configured, calibrated and tested to support design, prototyping, electronics, fabrication and production.
- 5
Software & Systems Integration
Design software, equipment control systems, user access workflows and operational tools integrated into one smooth, usable environment.
- 6
Testing, Commissioning & Handover
Structured testing confirmed equipment, networks, software and processes worked as intended — with documentation, demonstrations and client validation.
- 7
Training & Knowledge Transfer
Capacity-building covered machine operation, safety, troubleshooting, digital workflows, maintenance and laboratory management for long-term sustainability.
- 8
Launch
A fully operational FABLAB — ready for training, research, innovation and production — officially commissioned and handed over.
