The starting point.
Two spring-water bottling units in Fafe and Chamusca, with a combined capacity of 40 million litres a month and 3 distinct brands.
A need to manage two units 300 km apart as if they were in the same place, with on-time, 100% reliable information.
It was necessary to optimise vehicle loads considering destination customer and route, and to dispatch finished product with PDAs and barcodes.
How we approached it.
MULTI as the vertical management solution — Human Resources, Accounting, Stock, Purchasing, Sales and Production.
A production-monitoring solution integrated into the Production area, with online control from the start of production through to dispatch.
A complete renewal of all voice and data cabling.
New server infrastructure for the management applications.
Sensors on the bottling lines integrated into the ERP, and automated load management considering customer and route.
What changed.
Line sensors ensure online control of all production, integrated into the ERP.
Automated, optimised load management.
A dispatch process with PDAs and barcode scanners.
All information (output, breakages, breakdowns, yields) on time and 100% reliable.
In a market as competitive as ours, strategic decisions are more decisive than ever for our company's future. For a good decision, the core is always the quality of the information. MULTI is today our best adviser in every decision we make. Only with an asset like MULTI can I imagine managing two units 300 km apart as if I were present at both.
