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.

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

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
Professional drawing and drawing management increases the clout of a cheese producer Dapp

Pro­fes­sion­al draw­ing and draw­ing man­age­ment in­creas­es the clout of a cheese pro­duc­er

A cheese pro­duc­er asked Dapp if we could sup­ply a good ex­pe­ri­enced pro­fes­sion­al with knowl­edge of Au­to­CAD2 who could con­trib­ute to the ex­e­cu­tion of all kinds of draw­ing work. Dapp then searched its net­work for a per­son with the re­quest­ed knowl­edge and ex­pe­ri­ence. Our pro­fes­sion­al works with Au­to­CAD and In­ven­tor both from home and on lo­ca­tion at the client and is con­nect­ed to the de­part­ment En­gi­neer­ing/Projects. In this de­part­ment, in the first place 2D (Au­to­CAD) or 3D (In­ven­tor) draw­ings are made for projects to be car­ried out. As a sec­ond, no less im­por­tant task she keeps the draw­ings up to date and where nec­es­sary she up­dates the in­for­ma­tion on the draw­ings. This means clean­ing up, up­dat­ing and doc­u­ment­ing the draw­ing file, the P&ID di­a­grams, but also things like the total lay­out of the plant or spe­cif­ic as­sign­ments such as the de­sign of es­cape routes and as­so­ci­at­ed draw­ings.  In con­crete terms, this means that draw­ings or sketch­es are pro­vid­ed by the client(s) which are pro­cessed by our drafts­man in ex­ist­ing draw­ings or, in the case of major changes, a new draw­ing is cre­at­ed and stored as a newer ver­sion in the draw­ings file. It hap­pens reg­u­lar­ly that our draughts­man looks at the sit­u­a­tion on site, mea­sures the lo­ca­tion to en­sure that ev­ery­thing is cor­rect on the draw­ings. It will not be sur­pris­ing that the drafts­man usu­al­ly works alone, but there is much con­sul­ta­tion and co­or­di­na­tion with the client about the final re­sult. The ar­rival of this pro­fes­sion­al drafts­man has led to a much bet­ter or­ga­nized and there­fore much more ac­ces­si­ble draw­ing file. The cus­tomer no­tices the dif­fer­ence. Since her in­volve­ment, draw­ings are found much faster than be­fore. Be­cause changes are pro­cessed im­me­di­ate­ly, draw­ings are al­ways up-to-date and there­fore have a high de­gree of re­li­a­bil­i­ty. They show how cer­tain things are made or de­signed. So no nasty sur­pris­es. In ad­di­tion, some­times the ques­tion is asked to de­sign some­thing in 3D. That is no prob­lem for our pro­fes­sion­al. With In­ven­tor she can draw in 3D. It may be a part that needs to be in stock or a pro­to­type that needs to be de­liv­ered to a ma­chine builder. Such a pro­to­type is then drawn in 3D, after which a pro­duc­tion draw­ing is made.
