High-Speed Bottling Line Retrofit
Control retrofit and CIP automation on a high-speed bottling line, cutting changeover time and eliminating manual clean verification.
report_problem The Challenge
Product changeovers consumed most of a shift because recipes were set manually at each machine, and Clean-In-Place cycles were signed off on paper with no automatic verification of contact time or temperature.
build Our Engineered Solution
We standardised the line onto a single PLC platform with central recipe management, added optical vision rejection, and automated CIP cycle verification with electronic records.
trending_up The Outcome
Changeover became an HMI selection, giveaway dropped through vision-based rejection, and clean verification is now automatic and auditable.
- • Manual per-machine recipe setup at every changeover
- • Paper-based CIP sign-off with no automated verification
- • No line-wide OEE measurement
- • Central recipe management across a single PLC platform
- • Automated CIP verification with electronic batch records
- • Optical vision rejection and line-wide OEE reporting
