About The Customer
Revive Kombucha is a beverage company based in Sonoma County, California, known for its craft-brewed kombucha. The company has gained immense popularity and has expanded its distribution nationwide, including major retailers like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market. With a commitment to quality and sustainability, Revive sources organic, fair-trade, non-GMO certified ingredients and focuses on producing a healthy and delicious beverage. The company has scaled its operations significantly, moving into a 50,000 square foot facility in Petaluma, CA, and continues to grow its team to meet increasing demand.
The Challenge
Revive Kombucha faced the challenge of scaling its production while maintaining high product quality and sustainability. With rapid growth and national distribution, the company needed to ensure consistent quality across all batches. Additionally, the risk of misprints on lot codes and labels, as well as the need for accurate fill levels, posed significant challenges. The company also aimed to operate more sustainably by monitoring real usage data, such as temperature and water flow, to manage resources efficiently.
The Solution
Revive Kombucha partnered with Samsara to implement IoT sensors and a centralized dashboard for real-time monitoring and data analytics. Samsara's sensors were deployed to monitor and record temperature performance of coolers, ensuring consistent product quality. The system also helped verify lot codes, best-by dates, and label applications, reducing the risk of misprints. Additionally, Samsara's solution enabled accurate fill level monitoring, which improved production flexibility and reduced waste. By providing visibility into plant usage and a centralized dashboard, Samsara allowed Revive to manage quality and plant performance efficiently. The availability of real usage data helped the company operate more sustainably by managing resources like water use creatively.
