New Belgium Brewing, the third-largest brewery in the U.S., sought to improve production efficiency and gain real-time insight into operations.
Challenges:
The brewery faced limited visibility into downtime events, low OEE (45%), and inefficient packaging processes that hindered growth and operational performance.
Solution:
SkyIO implemented AVEVA’s MES Performance system to track downtime, analyze performance, and enable data-driven decision-making aligned with New Belgium’s continuous improvement initiatives.
Results:
New Belgium increased packaging line efficiency by 30%, improved OEE from 45% to 65% over two years, and saved $400,000 annually in labor costs.
