Twinings of London, a major global tea producer, faced challenges common in the FMCG sector, including the need to optimize machine efficiency and reduce production losses. To address this, they partnered with vendor ConnectPoint to implement an advanced data analytics solution, seeking to integrate their operational technology (OT) with IT systems for better oversight.

ConnectPoint developed a Central Data Repository using the OSIsoft PI system, which integrated data from various sources into a single platform. This solution provided Twinings with real-time production monitoring, on-line reporting of key metrics like OEE and waste, and bottleneck alerts.
