Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, announced that Almarai, one of the world’s largest vertically integrated dairy companies, expanded its Schneider Electric deployment as part of a Smart Manufacturing initiative by deploying Line Performance Suite. As an existing Wonderware user, Almarai will add Line Performance Suite, workflow, MES Operations and Quality Management to its Schneider Electric Manufacturing Execution System (MES) spanning over 100 filling and packaging lines. Benefits anticipated by Almari include streamlined data gathering, increased agility and improved operational efficiency.
Food and Beverage manufacturers are embracing new strategies to further digitize operations, simplify production processes and be smarter about manufacturing process execution. This transformation is global, driving investment in Industrie 4.0 initiatives to help to better capture and analyze operational data. Increasing access to information and applying predictive analytics strategies can help to yield actionable intelligence that can further improve performance.
The Schneider Electric solution provided the platform to help manage production requirements and initiate process improvements. The model-driven approach included in Line Performance Suite helps to accelerate deployment by standardizing operational processes with reusable templates and integrated workflow. The next step is to gain better visibility of this data to help empower the Almarai team to make smarter, more informed decisions.
By leveraging Schneider Electric's Line Performance Suite as part of its manufacturing operations management solution, Almarai can create an intelligence hub for the company that can provide a 360 degree view of operations. Almarai’s addition of new capabilities can be added to Schneider Electric's platform-based solutions to help achieve greater efficiency, planning, and profitability.
Almarai expects the added visibility and intelligence, including the ability to run reports consolidating near and long-term data, to positively impact how the company performs process improvements and help to drive greater customer satisfaction.
