Next generation factory: Suntory’s new IoT-enabled bottled water plant cuts troubleshooting time by 90% Suntory has implemented a new Internet of Things (IoT) system at its bottled water plant in Japan’s Nagono Prefecture, which is said to rapidly speed-up troubleshooting procedures.
The system is being implemented at the Suntory Kita-Alps Shinano-no-Mori Water Plant, which manufactures Suntory Tennensui Kita-Alps, a bottled water product in 550mL and 2L.
The plant is capable of producing 1,000 bottles per minute. Suntory plans to evaluate this model in Nagano, and eventually expand the model to its nine other beverage plants in Japan.
IoT platform
Collaborating with Hitachi, the IoT system took about two years from conceptualising the design to integration of the system.
