The consulting company Foodfab GmbH advises food processing companies about complex production and processing procedures and the related building projects.
Foodfab is the market leader in Central Europe for process planning consultancy and the Integrated Design of industrial buildings. Foodfab supports a global clientele from its offices in Munich and Innsbruck.
The company's core competence is an expert knowledge of production, processing and distribution processes in the food industry acquired over more than 40 years of design work. If a client wishes, Foodfab can supplement its own expertise from the very start of the process with the experience of its parent company, ATP architects engineers, and of other duly selected specialists. Foodfab’s clients include companies from the meat, ready meals, fish, dairy and drinks industries.
BIM: The revolution in design for the food industry
Since 2008, Foodfab and ATP architects engineers have been using BIM (Building Information Modeling). This makes them pioneers in the application of this technology to the Integrated Design of production processes, mechanical, electrical and structural engineering and architecture for the food industry.
BIM is the most modern and efficient working method for the provision and utilization of realtime information within a digital model for and by all professions involved in the design process. Once compiled, this data can provide comprehensive information for all phases of the design, construction, and operation of a building.
For example, physical parameters can be changed, and the effects of these changes analyzed from the earliest stage of the design process. And the data model handed over to the facilities manager can then be very useful during the operational phase.
Innovation and improved performance
This Integrated Design approach enables Foodfab to make a significant contribution to the improved performance of your food production or processing operation. Our own developments, which include the well-known "SPINE principle", hygienic ceilings, service galleries or special cleanroom applications in the areas of slicing and packaging, make a proven contribution to the optimization of modern operations and help clients to design their own production process.
