关于客户
Nestlé Nescafé is the world’s largest soluble coffee factory, located in Toluca, Mexico. The factory produces one million jars of coffee every day, making it a significant contributor to Nestlé's overall production. One of the most popular products made at this factory is Nescafé Clásico, a staple for people around the globe. The factory operates 365 days a year, making any unplanned stoppage a significant disruption to the production process and potentially impacting the availability of products on grocery shelves. In 2013, Nestlé invested approximately $125 million to expand this plant, increasing production by 40% and making it the largest soluble coffee facility in the world. At this scale, even modest gains to energy efficiency and service improvements translate to sizable cost savings.
挑战
Nestlé Nescafé, the world’s largest soluble coffee factory, faced a significant challenge with unplanned stoppages disrupting production. In one year, the factory experienced eight unplanned stoppages, which had a significant impact on production efficiency and costs. The factory, located in Toluca, Mexico, produces one million jars of coffee every day, and any disruption in the production process can have a significant financial impact. The factory operates 365 days a year, and any unplanned stoppage can impact the reliability of the processes and affect what makes it to grocery shelves. In 2013, Nestlé invested approximately $125 million to expand this plant, increasing production by 40% and making it the largest soluble coffee facility in the world. At this scale, even modest gains to energy efficiency and service improvements translate to sizable cost savings. Improving the reliability of the facility’s electrical equipment would deliver the productivity, efficiency, and maintenance benefits Nestlé sought.
解决方案
Nestlé Nescafé turned to Schneider Electric for a solution to their challenge. They implemented Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Asset Advisor, a solution that allows power systems to be visible and remotely managed 24/7 from any device. The solution was implemented in certain sections of the factory during a pilot phase, with three transformers fitted with PowerLogic Tag Series TH110 wireless temperature sensors, allowing them to communicate with the Asset Advisor service. After a short circuit inside an unmonitored section of the main substation resulted in a 14-hour shutdown, costing Nestlé approximately $588,000, the decision was made to utilize Asset Advisor throughout the Nescafé plant. This gave Nestlé real-time visibility into its electrical equipment, allowing engineers to remotely monitor assets. Prior to Asset Advisor, maintenance was reactive — Nestlé hired specialized service providers as needed. Today, through EcoStruxure, Nestlé has moved to predictive maintenance; connected services anticipate potential failure, which allows teams to resolve issues proactively to avoid downtime.

Case Study
The Kellogg Company
Kellogg keeps a close eye on its trade spend, analyzing large volumes of data and running complex simulations to predict which promotional activities will be the most effective. Kellogg needed to decrease the trade spend but its traditional relational database on premises could not keep up with the pace of demand.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Energy Management System at Sugar Industry
The company wanted to use the information from the system to claim under the renewable energy certificate scheme. The benefit to the company under the renewable energy certificates is Rs 75 million a year. To enable the above, an end-to-end solution for load monitoring, consumption monitoring, online data monitoring, automatic meter data acquisition which can be exported to SAP and other applications is required.

Coca Cola Swaziland Conco Case Study
Coco Cola Swaziland, South Africa would like to find a solution that would enable the following results: - Reduce energy consumption by 20% in one year. - Formulate a series of strategic initiatives that would enlist the commitment of corporate management and create employee awareness while helping meet departmental targets and investing in tools that assist with energy management. - Formulate a series of tactical initiatives that would optimize energy usage on the shop floor. These would include charging forklifts and running cold rooms only during off-peak periods, running the dust extractors only during working hours and basing lights and air-conditioning on someone’s presence. - Increase visibility into the factory and other processes. - Enable limited, non-intrusive control functions for certain processes.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.

Coca-Cola Refreshments, U.S.
Coca-Cola Refreshments owns and manages Coca-Cola branded refrigerators in retail establishments. Legacy systems were used to locate equipment information by logging onto multiple servers which took up to 8 hours to update information on 30-40 units. The company had no overall visibility into equipment status or maintenance history.
