Barry Callebaut
Smart factory initiative drives greater production capacity
The chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut began its digital transformation journey seven years ago and chose AVEVA software to create the digital backbone of its Smart Factory initiative. The company wanted to improve traceability, reduce energy consumption, and increase productivity across its factories. At the initial sites, Barry Callebaut used AVEVA System Platform to integrate multiple, complex data sources in real time. The improved communication and planning based on production line insights allowed the identification of previously unknown production capacity, enabling the company to maximize production on its existing factory lines.

- Institute a smart factory program that connects its ERP to product production lines
- To improve traceability, go fully paperless, and increase productivity
- Reduce energy consumption to reach sustainability goals

Results
