Comprehensive Food plant Solutions

FOV provides complete, turnkey solutions for setting up food processing facilities, managing every stage with precision. Our comprehensive approach ensures your project runs smoothly and sets you up for long-term success.

At the pre-plant stage, we thoroughly assess locations to find the best fit for logistical efficiency. We look at raw material sources, supply chain logistics, and environmental factors to ensure a steady supply, reducing any potential disruptions once your plant is running.

During the setup phase, our team of experts in structural, mechanical, electrical, and process engineering come together to design a facility that meets all your technical and operational needs.

Once the plant is operational, we focus on maintaining high-quality performance. We implement advanced monitoring systems, perform regular evaluations, and provide ongoing maintenance to keep everything running smoothly and efficiently.

OUR WORK METHODOLOGY

Pre-Setup

Identification of location

Raw material is the foundation of finished food products. Team of experts help to assess raw material availability, development strategies for qualitative and quantitative development of local geography, local sourcing, handling methods and logistics, Location of plant and required compliances. FOV assists our clients in the identification of plant location, considering factors such as plant to market, raw material, utility service, legal affairs and market forces.

Feasibility study

Based on our market understanding and experience, we shall provide market assessment, business, technical, commercial and financial understanding to arrive at a project estimate and plan for the researched business ideas. This would include the document to capture following aspects:

  • Product profiling.
  • Supply chain requirements.
  • Desired manpower planning ,organization structure.
  • Freeze funding requirements

Technical requirement assessment

With over 20 years of experience in advisory services for the food industry, Fresh-O-Veg has developed extensive expertise in understanding the needs of businesses of all sizes. We assist with site layout design based on product scale, processing unit planning, and assessing engineering requirements. Our services also include selecting the right machinery, ensuring equipment synchronization, and handling the engineering and procurement of raw materials.

Time and motion study

Detailed observation & analysis of existing operations to capture & document the following aspects :
