Case Study: F&N Dairies achieves 3 million cans/day production and reduces quality traceability from 4 hours to 1 minute with Wonderware

F&N Dairies Achieves Significant Savings in Production, Logistics and Inventory Costs With Wonderware MES Softwar

F&N Dairies, a Southeast Asian food & beverage company founded in 1883 that produces over 24 million cases a year, faced slow, paper-based quality tracking and fragmented connectivity across plant devices and lab instruments. Manual traceability took hours, hampered root-cause analysis, and the company wanted better quality control, real‑time visibility and a lower total cost of ownership for enterprise upgrades.

F&N implemented Process Nexus II — a solution built on AVEVA MES and related AVEVA tools (Historian, InTouch, QI Analyst, InBatch) delivered with partner Sagitate — to automate data capture, batch control and SPC. The system cut traceability from ~4 hours to 1 minute, hit production targets (2,500 cans/minute = 3M/day), achieved 100% first‑time quality, reduced inventory and logistics costs, and delivered payback within one year.
