关于客户
Amalgamated Beverage Industries is a division of South African Breweries (SAB), one of the largest brewing and bottling companies in the world. The company is based in Pretoria, South Africa. Amalgamated's main business goal was to accelerate production of its packaging line which included tracking machine performance parameters, reducing manual data capture, improving the accuracy of measurements and establishing reference points to better evaluate the reports from OEMs regarding performance of its machinery. Amalgamated’s machine OEM suppliers are responsible for managing the performance and commissioning of their equipment until final implementation of the manufacturing facility. Another important objective specified that the project was to serve as a ”proof of concept” for the effective implementation of PackML (Packaging Machinery Language) standards, which are an open system of guidelines used in the design of automation machinery.
挑战
Amalgamated Beverage Industries, a division of South African Breweries (SAB), was faced with the challenge of improving the overall production performance and accelerating the commissioning of a new packaging line to effectively address the annual summer demand for soft drinks. The facility needed to conform to Pack ML standards to ensure efficient operation of facility manufacturing equipment. The automation system had to work with existing SAP process order applications and daily production reporting facilities. The company wanted to capture all downtime data using the OMAC model of open control technologies for manufacturing applications. Another challenge was that the software project was being implemented at the same packaging line it was to monitor while it was being commissioned. During commissioning of a new factory line, all focus and effort is centered on this process. However, Amalgamated was challenged to implement both the hardware component and the software simultaneously.
解决方案
To successfully achieve the company’s objectives for leveraging existing SAP processes, conforming to the PackML standard and capturing downtime data, Amalgamated selected an Manufacturing Operations Management solution using Wonderware software. The company implemented Wonderware MES Performance, Wonderware System Platform, Wonderware InTouch HMI and Wonderware Historian. The combination of these powerful software tools enabled Amalgamated to achieve its objective of accelerating the production of its soft drink manufacturing line during peak demand cycles. The foundation of the Amalgamated system is the Wonderware MES Performance software built on the Wonderware System Platform. The performance software collects, tracks and communicates key performance indicators in real-time. This information is then delivered to operators who can take immediate action to correct a problem on the line. Built on Wonderware System Platform, the performance software is highly scalable for all SCADA, supervisory HMI and MES applications.
运营影响
  • Once Amalgamated implemented the PackML standards using the OMAC model and Wonderware software, the company was able to accurately achieve real-time downtime reporting.
  • The company was able to accurately estimate reject counts and crates on the line to implement improvements to the manufacturing line process.
  • With the help of Wonderware software Amalgamated has access to accurate downtime and stoppage reports, can more accurately estimate reject counts and determine the number of crates on the line.
  • The elimination of manual logging of these activities has significantly increased the efficiency of the production facility by making the information readily available for business analysis.
