CHALLENGE
Accolade Wines produces many of the world’s best-known wine brands. Their primary production facilities have a combination of high-speed bottling lines, bag-in-box lines and bag-making machinery. The management team had invested in real-time data collection, but were not getting the results they had expected.
The key areas that the company were focused on to achieve better results include the following
- Increase line efficiencies and reduce downtime.
- Optimise management time: rapid and consistent decision making.
- Reduce machine operator interventions: increase productivity, reduce labour requirement.
- More effective use of maintenance and capital spending.
SOLUTION
Leverage existing infrastructure
LineView Solutions used existing infrastructure when replacing both of the previously installed systems with LineView™. LineView’s installation approach, scalability and single user-interface make it cost-effective and powerful for both high-and low-complexity equipment.
Implement tactical Short Interval Control
With all equipment now accessible through a common system, and all subject to LineView system’s advanced causal loss logic, the teams had the confidence and commitment to build a common method of completing tactical, Short Interval Control (SIC) reviews using this data.
LineView’s installation approach, scalability and single user-interface make it cost-effective and powerful for both high- and low complexity equipment.
In addition, the LineView™ interface replicated this routine within the software to provide the stimulus for regular, repeatable and effective reviews as well as vital action tracking and compliance information for Accolade Wines on their new chosen routines.
