Standardizing performance across multi-OEM bottling lines and utilities
Kavax created a vendor-neutral digital layer across high-speed bottling equipment and plant utilities, giving operations teams one view of line losses, energy consumption, and utility performance.

The challenge
Creating a reliable operating baseline.
- Proprietary OEM monitoring tools created machine-level silos rather than an end-to-end view of each bottling line.
- Micro-stoppages, speed losses, and line interactions were difficult to correlate with output loss.
- Energy and utility information relied on manual readings with limited production context.
- Rapid multi-site growth made consistent performance governance and benchmarking difficult.
Kavax delivery
Connecting data, decisions, and workflows.
- Connected multi-OEM bottling assets into one vendor-neutral operational data layer.
- Delivered real-time views of throughput, speed loss, stoppages, fault patterns, and hourly performance.
- Connected energy meters and utility systems for line-, shift-, and process-level consumption analysis.
- Implemented alerts for energy spikes, performance drift, and emerging utility issues.
- Standardized production and utility performance reporting across four plants and 16 lines.
Business outcomes
Measurable operational improvement.
- 8–10% OEE improvement across the high-speed bottling lines in scope.
- 6–8% reduction in energy consumption through visibility and faster intervention.
- Improved reliability of compressors, chillers, and other critical utilities.
- Faster identification of bottlenecks and recurring micro-stoppages.
- A consistent operating baseline across sites and equipment vendors.
