The Age of
Performance

We worked with the team to develop a cloud-based system, purpose-built to drive lean work management practices and enable data-driven performance measurement in discrete manufacturing.

The result is a novel software application that enables complex analysis of Schneider Electric’s vast manufacturing operations.

With digital process management and real-time visibility into shop floor operations, the new cloud-based system has delivered an impressive 10% increase in worker productivity and 70% faster response time through automated escalation of issues.

After successful pilot programs, the team has since scaled deployment to more than 100 manufacturing sites in just three years. Today, five of the factories have been designated global sustainability lighthouses by the World Economic Forum, driving sustainability and innovation best practices for the entire sector.

Nita chose AVEVA Edge as their SCADA solution. With a strong product roadmap and frequent updates, the team were reassured that software would always stay aligned with enhancements to their machines.

AVEVA Edge enables rapid deployment of template HMI applications, allowing Nita to rapidly develop applications for customers and roll them out quickly.

With AVEVA Edge, Nita were able to quickly develop and deploy their next-generation machines. Now, it’s helping to upskill Nita’s customers’ existing teams and ease workforce transition with simple, easy-to-use interfaces and applications.

Almarai manufactures a huge range of products across dairy, fresh juices, infant formula, bakery and more.

Products are manufactured at multiple sites across the region before arriving at a central distribution center and replenishment hub. Here, they’re checked and sent on to market, enabling Almarai to ensure quality and respond to fluctuating demand.

We helped Almarai introduce AVEVA software to provide real-time visibility into filling and packaging performance.

Now, the team can make more informed decisions, better support their supply chain strategy and produce more food, more efficiently for people across the region.

To reach their goal, Henkel needed a better way to capture, understand and communicate energy consumption and emissions data from across Laundry and Home Care’s global supply chain. At the same time, they wanted to cut energy consumption across production sites, using ISO 50001 standards as guidance.

Early in the project, Henkel identified the need for a new environmental management system, able to integrate with legacy hardware and assimilate with future hardware communications standards.

We helped them create a new energy monitoring system based on AVEVA software. As of 2020, the system incorporates more than 4,000 physical and virtual sensors, capturing over one million data points a day across electricity, fossil fuels, compressed air, steam, water and sewage.

Today, the system is used by more than 2,000 employees to easily observe and analyze performance and identify possible improvements.

As well as delivering meaningful progress towards sustainability goals, the solution has saved Henkel €37m to date. That equates to full payback four times over — with 100% ROI delivered after less than four years.
