Factory Digitalization Program for Mondelēz International
Mondelēz International, a global leader in the snack industry, has partnered with Siemens Advanta in a key manufacturing digitalization program. With operations in over 150 countries, Mondelēz International aims to overcome the limitations of conventional production optimization by implementing a digitalization initiative that adds value in a factory environment. The solution involves the development of four core applications and an Azure-based IoT platform, which will be rolled out to initially four and eventually over 20 plants. This data-driven approach will not only increase overall productivity but also reduce downtimes, administrative tasks, and maintenance and repair efforts.
Siemens shares our values, which we live in close collaboration between our teams, proving our view that the success of international plant modernization programs such as Factory 2025 depends rather on people than technology. Their integrated approach of agile development, data driven deployment and change management convinced us. In addition, the Siemens team brings technology knowledge, enriched by huge expertise of both OT and IT, supporting us in increasing the net productivity of our plants.
The challenge
To overcome limitations of conventional production optimization, the client’s digitalization initiative needs to demonstrably add value in factory environment.
- Increase transparency of asset condition, OEE, material flow and energy consumption
- Improve insights, optimize production, reduce downtime, save energy.
- Enable data- driven optimization and decision making.
Our solution
Development of four core applications and Azure-based IoT platform, data-driven rollout to initially four, then 20+ plants with comprehensive change management
- Use case scoping through data analytics to determine beneficial solution functionalities.
- Apps development for condition-based asset maintenance, OEE line performance visibility, real-time material consumption, and energy visualization system.
- Integrated change management as essential part of development and implementation, maximizing value at shop floor level.
The impact
Increased overall productivity and reduced downtimes, as well as admin, maintenance and repair efforts.
- ROI driven approach to unlock benefits through digitization.
- Digitalization roll-out in multiple factories, realizing identified benefits according to 50 client-defined KPIs at scale.
- Change management enables staged rollout success across plants with highly motivated stakeholders.
