Space shortage at Dutch meat substitute producer Dapp

Space short­age at Dutch meat sub­sti­tute pro­duc­er

Dapp con­duct­ed a lay­out study for a pro­duc­er of meat sub­sti­tutes. Due to the enor­mous growth that the client ex­pe­ri­ences year after year, a lack of space had arisen in a short space of time. Be­cause build­ing plans were al­ready on the agen­da, it was not an op­tion to carry out an in­ter­im (small) ren­o­va­tion. This forced us to look for a quick and ef­fi­cient so­lu­tion with­in the cur­rent fac­to­ry walls to solve the emerg­ing bot­tle­necks. Using data anal­y­sis and sim­u­la­tion, we were not only able to pro­vide new in­sights, but also to dis­cov­er a pre­vi­ous­ly undis­cov­ered bot­tle­neck. Our so­lu­tion was re­al­ized with­in a few days and took a lot of pres­sure off the lack of space in the fac­to­ry.

Layout design and visualization new dairy factory Dapp

Lay­out de­sign and vi­su­al­iza­tion new dairy fac­to­ry

A major play­er in the dairy mar­ket ap­proached us with plans for a brand new dairy plant. In this new state-of-the-art plant, tech­nol­o­gy, lo­gis­tics and or­ga­ni­za­tion will reach the high­est level imag­in­able. Our client knows that this ef­fi­cient dairy plant will add great value for its re­tail cus­tomers, who will ben­e­fit from a wider prod­uct range and a cost ad­van­tage. The dairy pro­duc­er would like to con­vince its re­tail cus­tomers of this added value with a vi­su­al­iza­tion of the new plant. Dapp was com­mis­sioned to come up with a plan for the de­sired lay­out and to work out the vi­su­al­iza­tion of the new fac­to­ry. One of our ex­pe­ri­enced project man­agers, a spe­cial­ist in ware­hous­ing and sup­ply chain man­age­ment, su­per­vis­es the en­tire project, tak­ing into ac­count the prod­uct and cus­tomer port­fo­lio of the dairy pro­duc­er. In the new plant, not only the pro­duc­tion flows, but also the lo­gis­tics flows must be well con­nect­ed. The same ap­plies to all util­i­ties, such as elec­tric­i­ty, water and air. There must also be a log­i­cal flow through the en­tire plant: from goods re­ceipt to pro­duc­tion and de­liv­ery of the fin­ished prod­uct. Fur­ther­more, suf­fi­cient space must be planned for of­fices, park­ing lots and the load­ing and un­load­ing docks. In ad­di­tion, our cus­tomer con­sid­ers it very im­por­tant that semi-fin­ished and fin­ished prod­ucts move through var­i­ous de­part­ments with dif­fer­ent types of cli­mate con­trol, where prod­ucts must also be able to be repack­aged. The chal­lenge for our project man­ag­er is to en­sure that this busi­ness case is well ex­plained with op­ti­mal vi­su­al­iza­tion: both for the dairy pro­duc­er it­self and for its re­tail cus­tomers. Our project man­ag­er knows how to trans­late the idea into a de­sign with a sin­gle image that says more than a thou­sand words. Our client im­me­di­ate­ly un­der­stands the lay­out of the new dairy and can eas­i­ly con­vince his re­tail cus­tomers of the ben­e­fits and added value. Dairy
Pilot data analysis at a cheese processor Dapp

Pilot data anal­y­sis at a cheese pro­ces­sor

For a client in the cheese pro­cess­ing in­dus­try, Dapp par­tic­i­pat­ed in a pilot re­gard­ing data anal­y­sis. The client in­vit­ed Dapp to help solve a mild mold prob­lem in the ripen­ing process. The sus­pi­cions were that this prob­lem could be pinned down to a par­tic­u­lar sup­pli­er. Since the sup­pli­er was not the only vari­able (think also of tem­per­a­ture, lo­ca­tion, type of cheese, treat­ment plans, age, etc.), the client could not make sense of it this time. Through ex­ten­sive data anal­y­sis and sta­tis­tics Dapp was fi­nal­ly able to con­trib­ute with sta­tis­ti­cal­ly sup­port­ed con­clu­sions. These con­clu­sions were clear­ly pre­sent­ed in the nec­es­sary in­ter­ac­tive graphs, his­tograms and ta­bles. To­geth­er with a third party, a dash­board was de­vel­oped to mon­i­tor cer­tain trends and apply fil­ters. Dairy
3D scanning and drawing work at a cheese processor Dapp

3D scan­ning and draw­ing work at a cheese pro­ces­sor

Dapp made a 3D scan for a client in the cheese pro­cess­ing in­dus­try and, in the process, con­vert­ed the 3D model into a 2D draw­ing pack­age of a pre­vi­ous­ly un­doc­u­ment­ed lo­ca­tion. By mak­ing a 3D scan of the lo­ca­tion for half a day, the re­sult­ing point cloud could be used as a basis for a 3D model of the en­tire lo­ca­tion. The big ad­van­tage of this is that no com­pli­cat­ed mea­sure­ments were nec­es­sary and the final 3D scan is very ac­cu­rate by means of con­trol mea­sure­ments on the con­tours. After cre­at­ing the 3D model, the 2D draw­ings could be gen­er­at­ed. Mak­ing a 3D model to ar­rive at 2D draw­ings may sound like a big de­tour, but by mak­ing some­thing in 3D you can im­me­di­ate­ly gen­er­ate 2D im­ages. This pre­vents you from mak­ing mis­takes; if some­thing is cor­rect in 3D then it will also be cor­rect in 2D. You can also make ad­just­ments much faster in 3D. In­stead of mod­i­fy­ing sev­er­al draw­ings, you only mod­i­fy one and gen­er­ate the rest again. The cus­tomer was very pleased with the draw­ings and also uses the 3D scan to guide peo­ple around dig­i­tal­ly. Dairy
Optimization production lines potato products Dapp

Op­ti­miza­tion pro­duc­tion lines pota­to prod­ucts

A spe­cial­ist in fresh and cooled pota­to prod­ucts wants to op­ti­mize its small pack­ag­ing de­part­ment. It is the first time that he wants to hire an ex­ter­nal project man­ag­er and after a search he ends up at Dapp, be­cause we com­bine sub­stan­tive knowl­edge with knowl­edge of project man­age­ment. Dapp is given the as­sign­ment to op­ti­mize the small pack­ag­ing de­part­ment with a new set-up for the pro­duc­tion, as well as the tech­ni­cal ad­just­ment and/or re­new­al of the pro­duc­tion lines. In ad­di­tion, the lo­gis­tics flows must be adapt­ed and the ex­ist­ing fac­to­ry space ren­o­vat­ed. Our ex­pe­ri­enced project man­ag­er, who has al­ready suc­cess­ful­ly com­plet­ed many food projects, su­per­vis­es the en­tire project. It is a chal­leng­ing job in which the pro­duc­tion process con­tin­ues to run con­tin­u­ous­ly. For the suc­cess of the en­tire project, co­or­di­na­tion be­tween all par­ties in­volved, both the in­ter­nal or­ga­ni­za­tion and the ex­ter­nal par­ties, is there­fore of great im­por­tance. Our project man­ag­er man­ages to suc­cess­ful­ly com­plete the project in six months with a com­mit­ment of a few days a week. The spe­cial­ist in pota­to prod­ucts is ex­treme­ly sat­is­fied with Dapp's ex­ter­nal project man­ag­er and it was an ex­cel­lent op­por­tu­ni­ty for us to show that we can also take on this role suc­cess­ful­ly.

Masterplan Concept Engineering & Expansion processing & new factory Dapp

Mas­ter­plan Con­cept En­gi­neer­ing & Ex­pan­sion pro­cess­ing & new fac­to­ry

Our cus­tomer is a tra­di­tion­al pro­duc­er of fresh yo­gurt and drinks for the re­tail mar­ket. The com­pa­ny has grown over the years from a dairy farm to the pro­fes­sion­al milk and cream pro­ces­sor it is today. A few years ago, the need arose for a mas­ter plan to phase out and re­place ob­so­lete equip­ment in a planned and struc­tured way and there­by pre­pare for the am­bi­tious growth plans that the com­pa­ny had for­mu­lat­ed. This year (2018) DAPP was asked to shape the Mas­ter Plan. The first step was to work out the con­cept en­gi­neer­ing in its en­tire­ty. Due to the ver­sa­til­i­ty of the cus­tomer de­mand, DAPP has ap­proached this project as a  mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary project. This meant that we in­te­grat­ed a num­ber of ac­tiv­i­ties and per­formed them side by side. This con­cerns, among other things, the re­de­vel­op­ment of the site, the de­vel­op­ment of a new pro­duc­tion hall to be built with the as­so­ci­at­ed tech­nol­o­gy. At the same time the re­place­ment of var­i­ous pro­cess­ing equip­ment such as a blender, the shear mixer, the Clean­ing in Place in­stal­la­tion (the CIP) and the chillers. Also, as part of the changes, a pal­let con­vey­or track was pur­chased and in­stalled in one of the cold stores. The lat­ter meant that the lo­gis­tics routes had to be re­de­fined, which was also taken care of by DAPP. Fi­nal­ly, DAPP su­per­vised the en­tire process from draw­ings to ob­tain­ing the nec­es­sary per­mits. With the de­liv­ery of the Mas­ter Plan, there was such a clear and un­am­bigu­ous def­i­ni­tion of the fol­low-up that the cus­tomer had full con­fi­dence to go fur­ther into the project with its own team of em­ploy­ees and to im­ple­ment it in phas­es. DAPP re­ceived many thanks for the ser­vices ren­dered and for its cost-ef­fec­tive ap­proach. Dairy
Spray drying tower New construction Protein production Dapp

Spray dry­ing tower New con­struc­tion Pro­tein pro­duc­tion

In Oc­to­ber 2016, DAPP re­placed a spray dry­ing tower for one of its Food In­gre­di­ents cus­tomers. After a thor­ough prepa­ra­tion of plans, prepa­ra­tion and or­ga­ni­za­tion, the dryer was re­placed in 3 weeks! This is an achieve­ment that has never been seen in the in­dus­try, so fast and right. In fair­ness, it must be said that the weath­er was also good. "One of the few fac­tors that we as a project team had no con­trol over", says Den­nis Bei­jaard. Re­al­iz­ing such a project is only pos­si­ble if you have a good team with an al­most mil­i­tary im­ple­men­ta­tion plan but the nec­es­sary flex­i­bil­i­ty to be able to switch.  All (20) par­ties in­volved have done their best to make this a suc­cess and they suc­ceed­ed. "A per­fect­ly or­ga­nized project", ac­cord­ing to the cus­tomer. "We couldn't have done this with­out DAPP's project man­ag­er".

Realization State-of-the-Art Insect Ingredient Factory Dapp

Re­al­iza­tion State-of-the-Art In­sect In­gre­di­ent Fac­to­ry

The term 'novel foods' is in­creas­ing­ly being used in the food in­dus­try. Novel foods are 'new' foods and in­gre­di­ents that have never been sold as food­stuffs be­fore in the Eu­ro­pean Union. A good ex­am­ple is the 'in­sects' group, a new pro­tein for which the mar­ket is slow­ly but sure­ly open­ing up. A cus­tomer who is ac­tive in the pro­duc­tion of sus­tain­able and high-qual­i­ty in­sects ap­proach­es us with the as­sign­ment to scale up the pro­duc­tion ca­pac­i­ty of a cer­tain type of in­sect in par­tic­u­lar by re­al­iz­ing a new fac­to­ry. DAPP project man­ag­er Den­nis Bei­jaard, busi­ness ad­min­is­tra­tor and ex­pert in lo­gis­tics and sup­ply chain man­age­ment, leads the en­tire project.  Our client pro­duces grasshop­pers, meal­worms and crick­ets and has decades of knowl­edge and ex­pe­ri­ence in the pro­duc­tion of in­sects. This pro­duc­er is on the eve of an in­creas­ing de­mand and in­structs us to re­al­ize the pro­duc­tion scale in­crease and to man­age the whole process. Our client's am­bi­tion is to build a fully au­to­mat­ed state-of-the-art novel foods fac­to­ry. A fac­to­ry with a large-scale pro­duc­tion that can re­spond to the in­creas­ing de­mand for novel food in­gre­di­ents. Den­nis Bei­jaard works to­geth­er with im­por­tant stake­hold­ers such as the Re­search & De­vel­op­ment, but also with uni­ver­si­ties and re­search cen­ters. The am­bi­tious and in­no­va­tive project is cur­rent­ly in full swing. Fruit, Veg­eta­bles & Food In­gre­di­ents
Redesign Packaging Design Dapp

Re­design Pack­ag­ing De­sign

Our client pro­duces and sells con­sumer prod­ucts such as dairy drinks, in­fant nu­tri­tion, cheese and desserts through its own sub­sidiaries in a large num­ber of Eu­ro­pean coun­tries, in Asia and Africa. With­in the dairy branch of this com­pa­ny, DAPP is ac­tive at var­i­ous cheese pack­ag­ing lo­ca­tions. One of the ap­pli­ca­tions that DAPP was al­lowed to fill in was the sup­ply of a heavy project man­ag­er for the â??Re­design Pack­ag­ingâ?? project. Our client was look­ing for a spe­cial­ist in the field of re­design­ing and re­new­ing the lay­out plan­ning of the var­i­ous pack­ag­ing lines. A phys­i­cal re­lo­ca­tion of these pack­ag­ing lines was also part of the project. This specif­i­cal­ly con­cerned the pack­ag­ing lines for slic­ing, in­ser­tion in ther­mo­form­ing pack­ag­ing, weigh­ing and la­belling, case pack­ing and pal­letiz­ing of var­i­ous types of cheese. Our project man­ag­er has ex­ten­sive ex­pe­ri­ence in re­al­iz­ing com­plex projects in a tech­ni­cal­ly ori­ent­ed en­vi­ron­ment and, more specif­i­cal­ly, in the lay­out de­sign of pack­ag­ing lines. Dur­ing the du­ra­tion of the project, Lars has led a mul­ti­dis­ci­plinary project team. This in­volved mul­ti­ple re­lo­ca­tions and op­ti­miza­tions of ex­ist­ing pack­ag­ing lines. The re­lo­ca­tions re­quired in­ten­sive plan­ning and co­or­di­na­tion be­cause down­time was im­pos­si­ble: pro­duc­tion had to be able to con­tin­ue.   In ad­di­tion to the re­lo­ca­tion of var­i­ous lines, the project also in­volved the de­sign of new ma­chines and sys­tems for case pack­ing and pal­letiz­ing. This de­sign process was guid­ed from de­sign to re­al­iza­tion using the well-known V-Model. Be­fore de­liv­ery, an ex­ten­sive val­i­da­tion pro­gram was com­plet­ed. With a lead time of ap­prox­i­mate­ly 2 years, the project team was able to de­liv­er the project in ac­cor­dance with plan­ning, safe­ty, bud­get and qual­i­ty. Both our client, Lars Goedge­bu­ure and DAPP look back on a won­der­ful­ly chal­leng­ing and suc­cess­ful project. Here too it has be­come clear: DAPP re­al­izes! Dairy
