Britvic has successfully leveraged manufacturing #innovation and #digitaltransformation to enhance #productivity and #efficiency at their production sites, particularly focusing on the Rugby, Beckton, and Leeds locations.
Partnering with LineView, a manufacturing efficiency software company, Britvic implemented a range of #digitalsolutions, including #energymonitoring, condition-based monitoring, and real-time monitoring of equipment effectiveness.
These innovations have led to significant improvements:
1. Increased #ProductionEfficiency: The implementation of these systems led to a 9% performance increase on one production line in Rugby, translating to an additional two million cases produced in six months. Additionally, the canning lines saw a 2.1% improvement in overall equipment effectiveness, with further potential improvements identified.
2. #Cost and #Energy Savings: Through condition-based monitoring and early detection of issues, Britvic reduced #maintenance time significantly, saving over £20,000 in man hours. Energy efficiency measures, like nitrogen gas metering, also identified and resolved inefficiencies, contributing to cost savings and supporting #environmentalgoals.
3. #Upskilling of #Workforce: To fully utilise these #technologicaladvancements, Britvic conducted a comprehensive training program for their controls #engineeringteams, enhancing their ability to maintain and optimise #productionlines.
These initiatives not only enhance Britvic's #productioncapacity and #costefficiency but also align with their sustainability goals, aiming for #netzero #carbonemissions by 2050. The digital transformation at Britvic serves as a model for how #moderntechnology and #dataanalytics can drive substantial improvements in #manufacturingprocesses.
