OFS finds data key to performance of nonalcoholic beverages industry
Manufacturing performance software company , OFS , has announced findings from its quarterly Non-Alcoholic Beverage Benchmark Report , which provide insights into how data can be used to improve production efficiency in the non-alcoholic beverages industry .
The report analyzed the production of millions of litres of kombucha , coconut water , dairy drinks and soft drinks by Australian , New Zealand and US producers between April and June this year to determine a view of ‘ what good looks like ’.
It includes key performance benchmark data and explains why knowing overall equipment effectiveness ( OEE ) can make a significant impact on a producer ’ s bottom line .
The data shows that non-alcoholic beverage production decreased by 12.5 % between April and June compared with the previous three months , as producers were thwarted by unplanned downtime .
James Magee , CEO of OFS , says data is king when it comes to improving OEE , and enabling manufacturers to get a better and more consistent handle on areas like unplanned downtime , changeover time and maximizing efficiency in production schedules .
“ Having access to real-time information such as the metrics outlined in this report is a sign of maturity in any industry and something that should become part and parcel of non-alcoholic beverage producers ’ operations as the industry expands ,” he said .
