We design, procure, integrate and commission complete packaging and production lines for the Irish food, dairy and drink industry, where hygiene and uptime are non-negotiable.
Bought separately, the equipment on a line comes from half a dozen suppliers. Bought through Noreside, it is one line, delivered under one contract, with one team accountable for how it performs.
Conveyors, guarding, controls and every interface between stations are scoped, designed and managed by Noreside.
Fillers, sealers and formers.
Date and batch coding.
Code and label checking.
Weight, metal and X-ray inspection.
Secondary packaging.
End of line and wrapping.
The left-hand list is the contract. If it is not on it, it is not ours - and we will say so before you order anything.
Everything between your specification and a line running at rate.
The decisions only the producer can make.
The controls we apply on every capital project we deliver.
We author the URS. Throughput, interfaces and acceptance criteria are fixed before a tender is issued, so every vendor quotes against one unambiguous document.
Competitive tender, technical evaluation and Factory Acceptance Testing at the vendor’s works. Performance is proven before anything ships to site.
One contract. Noreside owns every interface, so no vendor can point at another and no scope is left unassigned between packages.
Contractual KPIs for OEE, throughput and waste are agreed up front and enforced at FAT and SAT. The line is accepted on measured performance.
EN 1672-2 and EHEDG hygienic design enforced across every vendor we engage, and verified at design review and again at acceptance.
We own the master programme, with fixed milestones from purchase order through manufacture, FAT, installation and SAT.
A fully integrated line of buffer, flow wrapper and carton loader, with Noreside as main contractor and URS author. OEE target of at least 85% across the line, on a fixed ten-month programme from purchase order in July 2026 to SAT in March 2027.
A turnkey filling and packing line under a single contract: tub filling and sealing, coding, vision, checkweigh and metal detection, tray packing and palletising, with Grunwald, Keyence, Minebea Intec and Techma Aries equipment.
Kilkenny-based engineers who stay on site long after handover - not just for the project.
A half-day visit to one line. We record what is actually there, not what the drawings say. Pick any one survey; there is no obligation.
Belts, transfers and guide rails walked end to end. Where it jams, and why.
Every drive, PLC and robot on the line checked against manufacturer support.
One shift observed. Where the line stops, and for how long.
Process, throughput and site constraints reviewed.
An indicative budget issued for your review.
Noreside appointed as main contractor for the line.
The User Requirement Specification developed and approved.
Tender issued, vendors selected and orders placed.
Managed through FAT, installation, SAT and handover.
Send the brief or the drawings and we will come back with an approach, a programme and the validation route.
