In recent years, companies operating in the bottling and packaging sector have faced a dual challenge: maintaining high plant availability while simultaneously evolving toward increasingly digital and data-driven management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this scenario, Consertech<\/a><\/strong> – based in Presezzo, Italy – acts as a system integrator. Its distinctive value lies in the ability to bridge different realities, technologies, and suppliers, building a unique, coherent, and perfectly integrated system for the client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consertech does not merely provide individual solutions; it designs, manages, and coordinates complete projects. By selecting technological partners and integrating heterogeneous machinery and software, it creates an infrastructure where all components operate synergistically. This approach overcomes the fragmentation typical of complex plants, where technologies from different manufacturers often fail to communicate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Core services and methodological approach<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00abOur organization offers audit, revamping, and packaging line optimization services, with a specific focus on availability, performance, and safety<\/em> – explains Nicol\u00f2 Vallazza, CEO of Consertech<\/strong> -. We adopt a multidisciplinary approach: we begin by analyzing the entire chain to identify bottlenecks and mechanical or electrical criticalities, while prioritizing opportunities for improvement, including the development of tailored layouts<\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protagonist of the case study presented here is a beverage industry client specializing in glass and PET packaging<\/strong>, which over time had developed a complex and poorly integrated machine fleet. The challenge was not only technical but primarily managerial: the lack of a unified vision made it difficult to monitor performance and make informed, rapid decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Consertech’s intervention, it was possible to implement an integrated system called NEXA<\/strong> (developed by Consertech), where machines, data, and processes communicate regardless of their origin or the management software used. Efficiency and sustainability in beverage bottling require highly reliable, flexible, and integrated MES systems. Traceability, energy management, and performance control demand modern requirements, such as interoperability and the ability to adapt to Industry 4.0 and 5.0.on interoperabilit\u00e0, capacit\u00e0 di adattamento all\u2019Industria 4.0 e 5.0, e caratteristiche tecniche e funzionali mirate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time-based analysis of machine statuses across different stations makes it possible to reconstruct the line\u2019s operational timeline. This tool enables the visual identification of overlaps between downtime and set-up periods, facilitating the diagnosis of bottlenecks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u00abFull traceability of work orders and batches in bottling lines is essential for quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. An MES system records all information regarding materials used, machinery involved, and process parameters in real-time, preventing transcription errors and ensuring accurate control at every stage<\/em> – adds Daniele Pintus, Head of R&D at Consertech<\/strong> -. The result was the integration of a 4.0 system, named NEXA, designed to transform raw information into indicators that are useful and immediately interpretable by operators, department managers, and executive leadership<\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEXA: Industry 4.0 data collection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NEXA is a software platform designed for the collection and management of machine states, events, and operating parameters<\/strong>. The system interfaces with existing PLC, SCADA, and HMI units, acquiring data on cycles, downtimes, rejections, alarms, and energy consumption without the need to replace existing automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The configuration is modular: each machine or station is mapped as a distinct entity with coded states (e.g., running, stopped, maintenance, setup), allowing for the reconstruction of operational history and the analysis of unavailability causes. Dashboards, accessible via web or local terminals, display key KPIs such as OEE, availability, performance, and quality, with filters by shift, product, and machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
