'Concept to Completion' Movie

Our Approach...

Our approach is simple – we analyse your manufacturing requirements, recommending proven layout solutions that lead to processing efficiencies, yield improvements and resource reductions.

We believe that by clearly presenting the proposed work in easy-to-understand 3D fly-through movies, that everyone will get to understand what the completed project will look like and can see that our design meets their needs.

Stage 1: Issues and Options Study

  • initial site visit to assess issues with existing plant
  • review of current practices and layouts
  • complete audit of meat cuts, their processes and destinations
  • establish room dimensions to existing layouts
  • consult plant management and supervisors to develop brief, including required throughputs, measurement goals and product requirements
  • complete audit on existing equipment that can be reused within the new layout
  • produce initial concept 2D layout drawings of the proposed process
  • obtain sign-off of proposed layout before proceeding with Stage 2

Stage 2: Budget and Presentation

  • prepare 3D layout of the signed-off proposal for the board
  • prepare presentational documentation for the board, including 3D virtual fly-through of proposed processing room(s)
  • prepare budget costing of proposed work
  • present full documentation to management
  • obtain sign-off before proceeding with Stage 3

Stage 3: Full Design and Manufacture

  • preparation of mechanical working drawings to enable manufacture
  • comprehensive peer review of the sign-off project with client's management and supervisors
  • work with the selected equipment manufacturer to ensure a successful completion and commissioning of the project

Stage 4: Installation and Commissioning

  • assembly and testing of components in our modern fabrication workshop
  • full onsite assembly
  • full onsite testing and commissioning
  • client sign-off of successfully completed project
