Disruptive Process Solutions

DPS combines process engineering with manufacturing experience. We help food and beverage companies turn investment priorities into practical designs, coordinated projects, and working production systems.

Who We Are

Engineering With an Operating Perspective.

Founded in 2020 in Cary, North Carolina, Disruptive Process Solutions is a technical process engineering company focused on food and beverage manufacturing.

Our work connects the product, the process, and the facility with the people who will operate them. We help manufacturers define a practical path through new facilities, expansions, modernization, and focused operating improvements.

Multidisciplinary Thinking

Engineering Knowledge.
Operating Experience.

Production depends on the way disciplines work together. We consider the process, the controls, the facility, and the work needed on site as one coordinated engineering scope.

Engineers considering equipment and facility interfaces from the production floor
Process Engineering

Define the product requirements, operating sequence, equipment duties, and utility interfaces that establish the design basis.

Controls & Automation

Coordinate PLC/SCADA, recipes, instrumentation, and equipment handshakes around the way the system needs to operate.

Project & Program Management

Align priorities, scope, suppliers, and schedules across related projects, with clear responsibilities and coordination between client and delivery teams.

Field Integration

Plan installation, access, tie-ins, cleaning, and restart with the practical constraints of the production site in view.

Lean Manufacturing

Consider flow, operating losses, and practical opportunities to simplify production.

Regulatory Compliance

Account for applicable requirements in the engineering scope and specialist interfaces.

The Manufacturing Perspective

Built for the Production Floor.

Our aim is to improve production while limiting disruption. Manufacturing experience helps us plan changes around the people, equipment, and constraints of an operating plant.

Manufacturing Experience
Bring operating experience into the engineering discussion.
Plant-Floor Perspective
Consider the people managing, running, and maintaining the system.
Practical Implementation
Connect the design with installation, access, cleaning, and restart.

Where This Perspective Applies

  • Facility Expansions
  • Production Line Improvements
  • New Technology Implementation
  • Process Streamlining

Purpose & People

Practical Engineering.
A Shared Direction.

Turn complex production questions into a clear, coordinated path from concept to operation. Engineering should help manufacturers make sound investments and build production systems that work in practice. We consider operating efficiency, capital needs, and long-term value together.

How We Work Together

Alignment Comes First.

Every engagement starts by connecting the operating goal, technical requirements, and longer-term direction.

Operational Goals
What needs to change in the operation, and why?
Technical Requirements
What must the product, process, equipment, and facility achieve?
Long-Term Direction
How should today’s project support the next stage of growth?
