Soft Drinks & Water

High-Speed Lines Demand Real-Time Intelligence

Carbonated soft drinks, still water, juices, and flavoured beverages run on some of the fastest packaging lines in manufacturing. Navigator gives you the visibility to keep them running at peak OEE — and the AI to fix problems before they cost you capacity.

Built for Soft Drinks and Water

The unique challenges of high-speed beverage lines require purpose-built intelligence.

Ultra-High-Speed Line Monitoring

PET blow-moulders, fillers, and labellers running at 60,000+ bottles per hour generate thousands of micro-stops that are invisible without real-time monitoring. Navigator captures every event down to 1-second resolution, turning invisible losses into actionable data.

Changeover & SKU Optimisation

With dozens of SKUs across bottle sizes, flavours, and label variants, changeover time is one of the biggest capacity killers. Navigator benchmarks every changeover by SKU-to-SKU transition, identifies best-practice times, and guides teams to replicate them consistently.

Fill Level & Giveaway Reduction

Overfilling by just 1ml per bottle at 40,000 bph adds up to tens of thousands of litres of giveaway per year. Navigator monitors fill accuracy trends across shifts and lines, helping you tighten tolerances without risking underfill compliance.

Carbonation & Process Visibility

CO₂ levels, syrup ratios, and water treatment parameters directly affect product quality and reject rates. Navigator connects process data to packaging performance, so you can trace quality issues back to their upstream root cause in minutes, not days.

Multi-Format Line Intelligence

Glass, PET, can, and carton lines often share utilities and personnel. Navigator provides a unified view across all formats, enabling like-for-like OEE comparison and smarter scheduling decisions that maximise total site throughput.
