The Indonesian Coca-Cola bottler (one of Indonesia's largest beverage production companies) installed a complete line of terminal solutions at the Cikedokan plant in Jakarta, Indonesia, which increased line efficiency by 50%. Indonesia has a total population of more than 260 million, ranking fourth in the world, and a large number of middle class continue to emerge, but non-alcoholic beverage consumption is still at a low level. In recent years, Coca-Cola's total investment in Indonesia has exceeded $1.2 billion. Advanced solutions to create a modern factory Coca-Cola Amatil Indonesia (CCAI) was established in 1992. The Cikedokan plant produces PET bottled carbonated soft drinks, tea and juice, and plastic cup-packed tea drinks. Plastic cup packaging is very popular in the Asian market, and Indonesia is no exception. The plant recently sought automated palletizing solutions to enable continuous operations on the production line while making more efficient use of the workforce. To Gebo Cermex engineers worked closely with their team at the Cikedokan plant to design a new automated palletizing solution based on the customer's actual needs, including stacking palletizers, pallet conveyors and a fully loaded pallet. Shrink film packaging machine. Shrink film packaging machine with full load tray In order to meet the production target of 3600 cases/hour in the production line, the system provided by Bo Ximai adopts three small palletizers, U-shaped structure, one for each packaging area, and can feed empty trays and send out along the same side of the equipment. Fully loaded pallets are interconnected by a self-controlled shuttle system, which is considered to be the most cost-effective and operationally efficient line termination solution. This solution, combined with better productivity and OEE (integrated equipment efficiency), can significantly improve manual management. Today, Cikedokan's production lines are more efficient and organized, enabling continuous operation and more sensible use of production space. The result exceeded expectations Grant McClean, technical manager of the plant's infrastructure project, said: “In the weeks after the installation of the equipment, we conducted a test that was significantly better than the acceptance criteria we set at the beginning of the project. In the subsequent production runs, we found equipment efficiency. In the end, since the implementation of the new solution, the efficiency of the factory has increased by 50%, and OEE has also been improved. The most economical and operational efficiency production line He continued: “For Indonesian factories, the Coca-Cola bottling company's vision is to continuously promote lean production strategies. The Cikedokan plant is like a pilot, we test and optimize the lean production concept to promote implementation in other factories. ."
