Coca-Cola Swaziland keeps operators informed

Coca Cola Swaziland Block Diagram


This project facilitated the first time measurement of metrics and when the first results were made available they came as a shock:  The Swaziland Electricity Company validated the results and found out that Coca Cola Swazialand achieved a discrepancy of less than 1%.

Once this was established, the organization completely bought into the system.

HMI in a browser? Yes!

InTouch Access Anywhere empowers your personnel to stay abreast of what's happening in the plant or facility. Yes, even if they are working out in the gym.

InTouch Access Anywhere lets you view your HMI screens even if you're working out in the gym.

Web HMI and Mobile SCADA rocks!

I'm taking time off from the regular success story posts so I can feature the new InTouch Access Anywhere. I'm actually at a Starbucks here in Irvine and playing with my iPad.

InTouch Access Anywhere is loaded and I'm just amazed how easy it is to navigate through the different HMI screens.

Coca-Cola Swaziland Optimizes Energy Usage

Coca-Cola Swaziland uses Wonderware Solutions to Optimize Energy Usage and Reduce Costs

Coca-Cola Swaziland uses Wonderware Solutions to Optimize Energy Usage and Reduce Costs


Recognizing the need for effective energy management, Coca-Cola Swaziland (Conco Ltd.) decided to find out what it could do as an organization because the solution is more than switching off pieces of equipment when it’s not in use.

There are many variables considered in energy management and electricity is not the only cost. There is air, steam, water and fuel.
