Twinings: how to boost production efficiency without investing in new machinery?
At Twinings’ largest factory in Swarzędz, which produces 250–300 tonnes of tea per week, manual reporting, scattered data and limited visibility of key performance indicators made it difficult to make quick decisions on the production floor. The implementation of Smart RDM in collaboration with Connectpoint enabled the automation of reporting, the organisation of shop floor data and the provision of key KPIs in real time. The result? Less manual work, better quality information and a tangible improvement in operational efficiency. See how Twinings used data to increase OEE and reduce production losses.
The Challenge
Twinings wanted to improve production efficiency and reduce waste without making costly investments in new machinery. However, the plant was working with scattered data, some of which was reported manually, which made it difficult to respond quickly and assess the situation on the shop floor accurately. The lack of a single source of truth and real-time visibility of KPIs limited the effectiveness of operational and improvement activities.
Solution
In response, the Smart RDM platform was implemented, integrated with the Aveva PI System and the Microsoft Azure environment. The solution automated the collection, organisation and presentation of production data, providing real-time key performance indicators to operators, team leaders and management. As a result, the plant gained a consistent environment for monitoring processes, analysing losses and making more informed decisions.
