关于客户
Melitta Europa GmbH & Co. KG is a renowned company with over a century of experience in producing and providing services that enhance everyday life. The company is best known for its invention of the first coffee filter paper by Melitta Bentz in 1908, which laid the foundation for its success as a family business. Today, Melitta operates in the coffee and tea sector, producing a variety of products including filter bags, coffee machines, tea filters, hoover bags, and plastic wraps. With production sites in Germany, the USA, and Brazil, Melitta is a global player in the consumer goods industry, committed to quality, innovation, and environmental sustainability. The company’s focus on these values has driven its continuous growth and adaptation to market needs.
挑战
Melitta Europa GmbH & Co. KG faced the challenge of maintaining high-quality production standards while ensuring competitiveness, environmental friendliness, and innovation in their manufacturing processes. The production of filter bags required a focus on these aspects to meet market demands and regulatory standards. Additionally, the company needed to streamline its production processes to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The existing systems were not sufficient to provide real-time data and insights necessary for optimizing production and maintenance schedules. This lack of real-time visibility into production operations and machine conditions posed a significant challenge in maintaining optimal production flow and minimizing downtime.
解决方案
To address the challenges, Melitta implemented the HYDRA MES solution by MPDV, which provided a comprehensive approach to managing their production processes. The solution included modules for Shop Floor Data, Machine Data, and Tool & Resource Management, which were integrated with their existing SAP system. This integration allowed for seamless planning and execution of production orders, with real-time data collection and analysis. Operators could log orders at data collection terminals, set up machines, and monitor production quantities directly connected to the system. The HYDRA MES automatically collected machine status and identified malfunctions, prompting operators to assign reasons for any issues from a predefined list. This standardized evaluation of machine times enabled better decision-making and process optimization. Additionally, the introduction of a maintenance calendar for tools, supported by automatic cycle collection, improved machine availability and reduced maintenance costs. The implementation of the HYDRA Energy Management module further enhanced the solution by enabling the collection and analysis of energy consumption data, facilitating energy efficiency improvements and maintenance cycle optimization.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Revolutionizing Rodent Control
From pet- and child-safe traps, to touch-free and live-catch rodent control solutions, Victor continues to stay committed to producing superior products that meet the varying needs of today’s pest control professionals. And, with a long standing history supporting customers in the food processing, service, and retail settings, Victor knew that strict regulations were costing organizations thousands of dollars in excess overhead trying to manage their rodent-control solutions. Trap inspections in these environments are often difficult and time consuming, requiring personnel to manually check a trap’s status multiple times per day, amounting to over six hours of manual labor. Victor is looking for an innovative way to increase operational efficiencies with the use of technology.
