Beverage and Bottling

Beverage bottling companies face multiple challenges to increase efficiency, reduce rejection rates, and meet production targets.  At the same time, beverage bottlers need to be responsive to changing consumer preferences and meet tougher standards for regulatory compliance.  LogicApps EMI helps beverage companies address these challenges.

Improve Profitability and Reduce Rejections

The beverage industry is extremely competitive with low product margins.  In order to increase profitability, beverage bottlers need to contain costs, control inventory, reduce scrap, increase production transparency, and enable real-time planning and scheduling.

LogicApps EMI can help beverage companies achieve these goals by:

  • Monitoring key performance indicators (KPI's) in real-time.
  • Reducing change-over times on filling lines.
  • Identifying root causes for rejections from foreign objects, poor capping, or mislabeling.
  • Synchronizing production and business needs by exchanging information in real time.

Reduce Downtime

Beverage bottlers can increase production capacity by reducing stoppages on their bottling lines.  Stoppages can be caused by bottle bursts, improper mix, contamination from escaped liquids, among other reasons.  Beverage bottlers need to identify and reduce sources of downtime to ensure that their bottling lines operate at full capacity and they can meet production targets.

LogicApps EMI can help beverage bottlers reduce downtime by:

  • Tracking running time for bottling line, capturing even small stoppages..
  • Capturing reason codes for stoppages.
  • Identifying root causes for line stoppages.
  • Tracking and scheduling preventive maintenance of bottling line equipment.

Changing Consumer Preferences

Beverage bottling companies know that consumer preferences change quickly, and successful companies must constantly innovate new products and develop product varieties that will appeal to local tastes.

LogicApps EMI can help beverage companies to:

  • Reduce the time-to-market for new beverage products.
  • Handle production change-overs with reduced amount of time.

Safety and Regulatory Compliance

Companies in the beverage industry have to ensure that their products are safe, and increasing consumer concerns about food safety has caused government agencies in many countries to impose tougher regulatory standards.

Beverage companies can use LogicApps EMI to:

  • Ensure that filling stations operate at the proper temperature, pressure, and composition.
  • Ensure traceability of any lot of product.  LogicApps EMI traceability functionality allow you to identify the source and expiration date of raw materials, the bottling line used for preparation and packaging, the time and shift of production, the staff used during that shift, and other relevant information about the production and bottling process.
