Ecopack Limited (EPL) is the largest manufacturer of PET Bottles in Pakistan
supplying mainly to the (CSD) and Mineral Water Industries. EPL was incorporated
as a private limited company in August 1991. Ecopack has a blowing capacity of
over 200 million bottles per year. EPL was set-up with the active support &
guidance of Pepsi International in Pakistan as a vendor of international
standards for the supply of PET bottles to the Carbonated Soft Drink (CSD)
industry. This valuable assistance ensured the achievement of high quality,
consistent and reliable production of PET bottles capable of successfully
performing in the harsh heat, transport and retail conditions of Pakistan.
Ecopack has three plants geographically separated, one of the plants is adjacent
to Pepsi Plant, which has a blowing machine, labeler and a conveyor by which
they manufacture and transfer the bottles from between the wall to Pepsi
International. The issue they faced was to operate that plant remotely, and get
production and downtime reports remotely to their main plant.
The flexible and scalable architecture of IntelliMAX made this GEO SCADA a
possibility. IntelliMAX was connected to Siemens S7 PLC on the blowing machine
and a Mitsubishi PLC on the Labeler and by using the IntelliMAX web client
philosophy, the entire plant was operated from their main plant remotely. All
real-time reports were made available to the management for them to bill Pepsi
as per the bottles delivered. They could now keep their checks and balances on
the plant which is located about a hundred miles away from their main unit.
IntelliMAX made it possible for Ecopack to have collaborative and just in time
production keeping the customers demand in view and supplying the quantity as
required. Using IntelliMAX later on a GEO SCADA was created connecting three
plants of Ecopack.
“IntelliMAX is a superb product, it provided Ecopack the flexibility of
operating one of our plant with minimal man power, remotely. Now we
can produce
the quantity of bottles required as per the customers
requirement without any
delay”
