Case Study: Baltika Breweries achieves lower energy use, reduced production losses and real-time process control with AVEVA's Wonderware MES

Baltika Masters Brewing Automation with Invensys MES Software Solution

Baltika Breweries, Russia’s largest brewer, needed a modular, scalable automation solution to integrate with existing control systems, improve ingredient tracking and reduce production costs and material losses. AVEVA was chosen to provide a standardized MES platform—deploying the Wonderware MES suite components (InTouch HMI, Equipment Operations Module, MES/Performance, Information Server and System Platform)—to replace manual data entry and support real-time monitoring across brewing, packaging and warehouse operations.

AVEVA implemented the Wonderware MES solution, integrating it with plant control systems to deliver real-time visualization, traceability, recipe control and OEE-driven performance monitoring. As a result, Baltika achieved measurable savings: an 8% reduction in energy use, 5% lower steam consumption, 1.8% annual cut in packaging material costs and a 0.56% reduction in extract loss, alongside improved data accuracy, faster decision-making and better planned maintenance.
