Food & Beverages – Neilsoft

Engineering Expertise Across the Food & Beverage Plant Lifecycle

Food and beverage manufacturing requires efficient production processes, hygienic facility design, reliable equipment integration and coordinated engineering to meet evolving production demands, quality standards and operational requirements. As manufacturers expand capacity, introduce new products and modernize existing facilities, integrated engineering and technology-enabled workflows play an important role in supporting plant performance and project delivery.

Neilsoft supports food processing and manufacturing plants, beverage and dairy facilities, packaged food facilities, process equipment, and production systems with multidisciplinary engineering and integrated digital workflows.

Our capabilities span process engineering, equipment engineering, material handling and packaging, mechanical and electrical engineering, automation, plant layout, BIM, 3D modelling, simulation, and engineering workflow automation. From new plant development and detailed engineering to brownfield upgrades and plant modernization, we support engineering requirements across the plant lifecycle.
