Nestlé Case Study on Advanced Analytics Implementation

This case study details Nestlé's implementation of advanced analytics and real-time data solutions to enhance the production quality of its powder beverage products, specifically Nesquik and Ovaltine. The document outlines the challenges faced in the agglomeration process, which included manual operations leading to variability in product moisture and density, resulting in inconsistent product quality and waste. To address these issues, Nestlé partnered with AVEVA to deploy a cloud-based solution that utilized AVEVA Historian and Advanced Analytics. This approach enabled real-time monitoring and predictive analytics for moisture and density levels, allowing operators to make informed adjustments. The results included a 10% reduction in jar-to-jar weight variation and significant savings in powder usage. The case study also highlights the scalability of the cloud solution, which facilitates rapid deployment across multiple production sites and continuous process improvements. Future plans include extending this methodology to other Nestlé products and automating process adjustments based on analytics recommendations.
