Growing pains are a sign of success

Design & implementation

An efficient, hygienic, and future-proof bakery starts with smart design and effective technical execution. XavaWorks guides high-volume bakeries from A to Z during construction, renovation, layout, and technical installations. Whether it’s a complete new build, renovation, or relocation of production lines – we are your independent partner in every phase of the project.

From Vision to Reality

We translate your wishes and requirements into a clear action plan and guide the process from design to completion. Together with you, we select the right partners for construction, installations, and bakery technology. You stay in control – we ensure everything runs smoothly.

Our strength: strategic production line optimization

• Mapping the as-is situation
• Logistics process analysis
• Concept development of production lines
• Creating a business case
• Offer selection & assessment
• Coordination between stakeholders
• Planning & project coordination
• Supervision during implementation
• Commissioning support

Technology & Installation: specialized solutions

Installing bakery technology requires specific technical knowledge. We manage the Building Information Model (BIM) and ensure that technical partners know exactly what is needed in terms of:

• Available space
• Electricity, gas, water, compressed air
• Climate control, steam, and cooling technology
• Security and access control

We define technical specifications, review engineering documents, and safeguard the connection between design and execution – both on paper and on site.

Reorganization & Process Optimization

Growing Pains in Practice

Many bakeries grow organically – new products, extra lines, expanded equipment. That growth is wonderful but often leads to fragmented processes, inefficient routing, and poor space usage. What once worked well can become cluttered over time.

XavaWorks brings back structure. We take a fresh look at your factory and production process – without tunnel vision. Where are the bottlenecks? Where do people or products take unnecessary detours? What changes will deliver immediate gains in time, quality, or calm?

Our optimizations ensure every square meter and every minute aligns with your goals. An efficient bakery doesn’t stop at construction. Existing processes and layouts deserve attention too. We help industrial bakeries improve their production environments with one goal: higher output, better use of space and resources, shorter lead times, and maximum hygiene.

Whether it’s a factory re-layout, production line adjustment, or improved logistics routing – we map the current situation in detail and develop a concrete, actionable improvement plan.

Construction Advice with Industrial Bakery Know-how

An industrial bakery has different needs than typical construction projects. Think of food safety, cleanability, and minimal disruption of your production process. We provide:

• Tailored construction details specific to the bakery sector
• Material selection compliant with legislation (Food Act, Occupational Safety Act, etc.)
• Drawings for technical connection points
• Guidance with permits and inspections (e.g., fire load, noise)

XavaWorks remains your point of contact through to delivery. We conduct quality checks, prepare handover reports, liaise with suppliers, and ensure agreements are met before start-up. That way, your investment delivers results.

Greenfield or Brownfield?

Sometimes, the choice between new construction or renovation isn’t obvious. We help you develop and compare different scenarios. With a clear overview of the opportunities and risks, you can make a well-informed decision.

Risk Assessment & Management

A solid plan begins with insight. Before you build, relocate, or optimize, it’s crucial to identify risks early and define control measures. XavaWorks helps industrial bakeries with thorough risk assessments that go beyond safety alone.

What do we look at?

• Operational risks
  Downtime, bottlenecks, fragile links in production, reliance on specific machines or suppliers.
• Hygiene and food safety
  Risks of cross-contamination, cleaning access, separation of clean and dirty zones, in line with HACCP and BRC standards.
• Occupational safety and ergonomics
  Lifting routes, working heights, access to installations, escape routes – all assessed in accordance with safety regulations and practical workability.
• Regulatory compliance
  Risks relating to building permits, environmental laws, fire safety, and insurance eligibility.
• Future-proofing
  Is the intended setup scalable? What if production expands or staff numbers grow? We help you think ahead.

Engineering-Level Risk Assessment

Together with the engineers, operators, and maintenance staff, we walk around the machine using a checklist to identify hazards during transport, use, maintenance, and storage. For each hazard, we estimate likelihood and severity. If a risk is too high, we may recommend technical modifications or process changes. These assessments are part of our engineering support – comparable to creating manuals or technical documentation.

A Practical Risk File Includes:

• Visual risk maps per zone or process
• Prioritized list of recommendations
• Action plan with control measures
• Technical or structural modification proposals
• Coordination with QA, technical teams, management, and works council

Note: While we offer technical risk assessments, our greatest added value lies in production line optimization and factory layout – where we make the real difference in efficiency, space, and return.

CE Marking & the Machinery Directive

New machines, modifications to existing lines, or integrating multiple systems? Then CE marking and the European Machinery Directive likely apply. XavaWorks ensures compliance – safely, correctly, and without delays or unnecessary costs.

When Is CE Marking Required?

CE marking is mandatory when:

• You install new machines
• You relocate or modify existing machines
• You connect several machines into one working system
• You, as the end user, assemble a combination (e.g., conveyor belts, buffer zones, shrink wrap machines)
