Staying competitive in the ever-changing global winemaking industry has never been more important. More and more wine producers are embracing digital transformation, improving efficiency and quality relative to completion. To successfully navigate market shifts and consumer demands, wine producers must also adapt and leverage tools to enhance their operational efficiency. Here are four tips to help you optimize production and establish a competitive advantage:
1.Monitor machine health using data analytics
Manually inspecting machines and running them until they break down is a recipe for unforeseen downtime and costly repairs. By leveraging machine data and analytics, wine producers can gain access to much more insight. Rather than performing manual checkups that offer no visibility to continually changing conditions, operators can use analytics to monitor machine health in real-time and prevent breakdowns before they happen.
The most innovative machine health monitoring systems are customizable and scalable depending on each plant’s needs. This allows critical machine data and specific parameters to be monitored in real-time. For example, Emerson's Knet Analytics utilize innovative key performance indicator (KPI) expert functions to monitor and manage plant-wide performance, anticipating issues and providing corrective actions before problems impact operations.
