Integrated process planning with BIM
for the food industry
Flexible, modular building from the inside out: This was the objective
over 30 years ago. In the meantime, his consulting company
foodfab has firmly established itself as the leading advisor to
food processing companies in Central Europe. As part of the network
he supports clients all around the globe by transforming their
corporate strategies into smart building concepts.
“We at foodfab lay the foundation stone for comprehensive,
future-proof planning,” says Trautwein, emphasizing that “we
are constantly focused on the process that takes place inside
the building.” Because he is convinced that the primary role of a
building for the food industry is to support the operating technology
11
proof masterplans drawn up by foodfab’s experts are conceived
to remain valid for decades. And in their analyses and simulations
in such areas as material flow and machinery layout they
employ state-of-the-art design tools: “Together with ATP we
are pioneers in the use of Building Information Modeling,” says
Trautwein, referring to the fascinating possibilities offered by a
“digital building twin”. “A virtual 1:1 copy also makes it easier for
our clients to make early decisions regarding long-term economic
performance,” says Trautwein. “For example, when it can be
shown during the earliest design phases that material flows have
been correctly calculated, that these lines function without any
crossovers, that machinery is optimally positioned, and that the
logistics have been logically organized.” Amongst the clients who
put their trust in such smart, integrated solutions for both the
technology and the building envelope, which are conceived to
ensure the long-term efficiency of a food processing operation,
are Milei and Uelzena in Germany and EkoNiva in Russia.
