Client: A leading global manufacturer of packaging and bottling machines, known for operating some of the world’s largest bottling plants. The client specializes in designing, developing, and manufacturing machines and entire processing, filling, and packaging lines, with a diverse product portfolio that includes IT services, logistics, and valve production.
Challenge:Â The client required a robust shop-floor monitoring solution to access real-time production data from machines, providing insight into machine statuses both locally and remotely via desktop and mobile devices. The primary goals were to increase productivity and transparency, optimize line efficiency, and enhance order execution processes. The client partnered with SSI for its extensive experience delivering data-driven applications and business-critical projects in manufacturing.
Solution:Â SSI collaborated with the client to create a web-based shop-floor monitoring platform with advanced features, including:
- Live 3D factory floor view with real-time machine health and status indicators
- Key Performance Indicator (KPI) visualization
- Error and warning notifications
- Trend and anomaly visualization based on historical data
- Role-based access controls
- Mobile application for on-the-go remote monitoring
Result: The shop-floor monitoring solution has been implemented across multiple manufacturing plants in Europe. This platform has streamlined production processes, optimized operational workflows, and enabled significant gains in error detection and response efficiency, supporting the client’s pursuit of operational excellence.
