OVERVIEW
A large beverage co-manufacturer partnered with us to modernize its data infrastructure and unlock real-time performance visibility across can production, filling, and packaging operations. Disconnected systems and inconsistent data limited their ability to monitor performance, respond to issues quickly, and scale digital initiatives.
THE CHALLENGE
• Eliminate data silos across production systems
• Standardize and contextualize operational data
• Gain real-time visibility into line performance
• Enable seamless integration with enterprise systems
• Simplify and modernize legacy SCADA architecture
• Standardize and contextualize operational data

• Enable seamless integration with enterprise systems
• Simplify and modernize legacy SCADA architecture
THE SOLUTION
We designed and deployed a unified, scalable architecture centered around a Unified Namespace (UNS), creating a single, reliable source of truth for all operational data. Key initiatives included:
SCADA Consolidation
- Unified multiple Ignition environments into a single, redundant architecture
UNS Deployment (Ignition)
- Established a real-time data backbone connecting all production systems
Full OT Integration
- Connected PLCs, HMIs, and edge devices with standardized data pipelines
Standardized Data Model
- Implemented an ISA-95 aligned structure for consistent, enterprise-ready data
Real-Time Dashboards (Ignition)
- Delivered live visibility into OEE, downtime, throughput, and asset performance
Enterprise Integration
- Enabled seamless data flow to BI, MES, and ERP systems for advanced analytics
THE IMPACT
Disconnected data was holding them back. Now, they have a single source of truth—driving faster decisions, better performance, and a system that’s ready to grow with them.
