Case Study: Coca‑Cola Swaziland achieves real‑time energy visibility and cost reduction with Wonderware

For Coca-Cola Swaziland, Energy Is a Lever For Positive Growth And Change

Coca‑Cola Swaziland Conco Ltd. set out to make energy a lever for growth, targeting a 20% energy reduction in one year and seeking to track performance across plants, lines and shifts. They faced fragmented data (mains-only metering), multiple energy streams (steam, air, gas, water), and the need for a culture change to empower staff to act on energy and cost signals.

The company formed a focus group, adopted an energy-management mindset, and deployed real‑time metering and mobile reporting (SmartGlance) while enabling limited control to shift high‑energy processes to off‑peak times. The result was real‑time visibility of usage and cost by plant and production section, tighter departmental budgets and targets, the ability to schedule energy‑intensive work during low‑cost periods, and increased staff awareness of energy impact.
