How did AVEVA MES standardize production measurement across Amcor's 23 sites?
Amcor was already capturing data through a traditional SCADA system across its 23 facilities but lacked the consistency needed to use it. AVEVA Manufacturing Execution System, combined with AVEVA System Platform, provided a common framework for measuring and tracking production. Every site now applies the same definitions of OEE, changeover efficiency and energy performance, making comparisons reliable and accelerating the spread of industrial best practices between plants.
What role does AVEVA Advanced Analytics play in reducing Amcor's downtime?
Micro-stoppages and unforeseen events weighed heavily on Amcor's packaging production. AVEVA Advanced Analytics applies artificial intelligence algorithms to historized operational data to identify root causes, predict failures and recommend corrective actions. The result: 1–2% less downtime, gains that convert directly into additional production capacity without additional hardware investment.
How does AVEVA CONNECT facilitate the digital transformation of a multi-site manufacturer?
AVEVA CONNECT provides the cloud layer that aggregates data from Amcor's 23 plants and makes it accessible to all teams (production, quality, maintenance, management). This platform replaces manual data sharing between sites, a source of inaccurate information and delays. CONNECT provides consolidated real-time visibility, speeds up the distribution of indicators and supports a data-driven culture in the responsible packaging industry.
What quantified operational results has Amcor achieved with its AVEVA MES suite?
Amcor achieved a 2% improvement in OEE, a 3% faster production cycle, greater visibility into equipment efficiency and changeovers, a complete view of asset utilization and energy performance, and 1–2% less downtime. These gains, measured objectively with AVEVA MES and AVEVA Advanced Analytics, demonstrate that a well-orchestrated multi-site rollout lastingly transforms the industrial performance of a global leader.
Why combine MES, System Platform and Advanced Analytics in a responsible packaging strategy?
To produce more responsible packaging, Amcor must combine material efficiency, energy performance and quality. AVEVA System Platform provides real-time industrial monitoring, AVEVA MES standardizes production processes across 23 sites and AVEVA Advanced Analytics turns data into predictive decisions. This consistent technology stack, deployed via AVEVA CONNECT, allows Amcor to measure its environmental impact, optimize its resources and support its sustainability commitments to customers.
