Installation readiness covers access, unloading, floor, line clearance, power, air, extraction, network or control needs and safe commissioning. On-site installation, technician travel and training must be confirmed in the written order rather than assumed.

How to compare supplier answers
Put every quotation into one comparison sheet. Use the same panel, tape, adhesive, process stations, utilities, acceptance test, spare-parts scope, delivery basis and support requirements. A lower price with missing stations or services is not the same offer.
Ask who is responsible for each unresolved item and when it will be closed. Electrical configuration, compliance documents, packing, lead time, installation, warranty and payment terms should be fixed before the order is accepted.
