The challenge: Lack of reliable operations data to improve performance across sites

With units operating in information silos, Pernod Ricard lacked the consistent, cross-site data required to benchmark performance and drive enterprise-wide process improvements.

No production visibility
Manual data capture: Reliance on paper-based batch tracking and physical silo-to-packer mapping created significant data inaccuracies.
Lack of real-time insight: Absence of live line-level monitoring prevented immediate corrective action during production drifts.
Zero cross-plant comparability: Lack of an accurate baseline made it impossible to benchmark productivity or scale best practices across the 30-site network.
Paper-based quality silos
Paper-based inspections: Quality checks were trapped in physical logbooks, creating data latency and preventing live process oversight.
Reactive traceability: Manual tracking, delayed compliance reporting, and hindered rapid root-cause analysis for quality deviations.
Lack of centralized visibility: Without digital records, quality performance across SKUs and plants could not be correlated to identify systemic defects.
Opaque sustainability
Manual utility logging: Energy and water consumption were trapped in unit-level paper logs, preventing real-time tracking of resource intensity.
No site benchmarking: Non-standardized data formats made comparison of resource efficiency across the 30-site network infeasible.
Obscured sustainability insights: Without a unified digital baseline, leadership lacked the enterprise-level visibility required to drive data-driven conservation.

Pernod Ricard needed a shared digital foundation to break data silos, align operations across plants, and give leadership timely visibility into performance and resource usage.

The solution: Building a connected digital factory across bottling units

Pernod Ricard implemented Altizon’s Digital Factory Platform to create a single, connected operations layer across all bottling units—bringing production, quality, maintenance, and sustainability data onto one unified system.

Productivity and OEE
  • Automated OEE capture for connected lines.
  • Structured manual data entry for non-IoT units.
  • Real-time dashboards for Availability, Performance, and Quality.
  • Standardized downtime categorization and loss analysis.
  • Shift-wise tracking of manpower and changeovers.
Outcome:
  • Operators and supervisors view live OEE and top losses.
  • Corporate teams gain visibility across 30 units.
  • Digitized quality workflows for SOL, EOL, OLI, pre-inspection, labeling, and RFT checks.
  • Integration with Empty Bottle Inspection (EBI) machines for real-time rejection analytics.
  • Vendor- and SKU-level quality performance tracking.
  • Digital doer–checker workflows with BQI/GQI scoring.
Outcome:
  • Paperless QA and end-to-end traceability from bottle inspection to blend approval.
  • Automated downtime reason booking using PLC fault codes.
  • Alarm analytics to identify recurring failures.
  • Condition-based monitoring using current and voltage data.
  • Early detection of anomalies before breakdowns occur.
Outcome:
  • Maintenance shifted from reactive fixes to condition-based interventions.
  • Improved uptime and fault diagnosis accuracy.
  • Unified tracking of electricity, generator, and boiler consumption.
  • Line- and area-level water balance, recovery, and recycling metrics.
  • Dashboards showing energy, water, and carbon KPIs.
  • Consolidated views at plant, regional, and country levels.
Outcome:
  • Leadership gained clear visibility into plant-wise resource efficiency and environmental performance.
  • Integration with Pernod Ricard’s ERP and corporate BI systems.
  • Standardized SKU, line, and vendor master data across plants.
  • Automated flow of OEE, QA, and sustainability KPIs.
  • Faster, more reliable monthly performance reviews.
Outcome:
  • A single source of truth for production, quality, and sustainability data from the plant floor to leadership.
