Food and beverage plants live on uptime and sanitation. Nobody wants a measurement crew standing over a production line with tape measures and ladders, and nobody wants a line extension that does not fit on install day.
3DS Technologies scans processing and packaging facilities without touching anything. We work around your production windows and your hygiene protocols, and your engineers get the whole plant, measured.
What we capture in food and beverage facilities
Process lines and packaging equipment. Overhead piping, ductwork and cable tray. Drains, floors and clearances. Cold storage and warehouse space. The congested overhead zone above your lines is where retrofit surprises hide, and it is exactly what a scanner captures best.
Line changes without install day surprises
New filler, new case packer, new automation cell. When the design is built on a current point cloud, the equipment fits, the utilities reach, and the shutdown window holds. When it is built on old drawings, you find out at the worst time.
Deliverables your team can use
Registered point clouds, 2D as-builts, 3D CAD and BIM models, digital twins and virtual walkthroughs your corporate engineering group can open from anywhere. Tell us what your team works in and we deliver in that format.
Frequently asked questions
Is scanning sanitary?
Yes. It is non contact and we follow your GMP and hygiene protocols on site.
Do we need to stop production?
Usually no. We plan capture around shifts, washdowns and scheduled downtime.
Can you scan cold storage and freezers?
Yes. Talk to us about the environment and we will plan the capture accordingly.
How long until we get deliverables?
On site work is days, not weeks. Processing time depends on the deliverable and we commit to a timeline in the quote.
How do we get pricing?
Call (519) 766-5885 or use the contact page. We quote firm, not vague.
