Holistic Approach: factory planning for beverage production and bottling

Krones creates complete system solutions for producing and filling non-alcoholic beverages as well as for packing and logistics, tailored specifically to meet the individual requirements of the customers. With a holistic approach and clear objectives, complete systems are designed whose sole purpose is to ensure the competitive capabilities of the clients concerned. The factory or the plant is considered as a single system, required to provide maximum efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle.
Whether a new production facility is being installed on a greenfield, or investments in an existing plant are being made: at the beginning, there is a detailed assessment of the investment needs involved. Development of a comprehensive solution – from the raw material to the platform – and modelling of the complete factory or parts of it provides the customer with a result that optimally meets his requirements on the basis of the benefit calculated by Krones. One indicator is, for instance, the lifecycle costs (TCO) of the line.
All this is implemented with optimised technological know-how and in close co-operation with field-competent partners. After commissioning, individual Lifecycle Service solutions ensure high line output and commercial success. This also applies to the IT tools employed, which allow for process planning and document results, thus forming the basis for continuous optimisation of the production processes concerned.
