Bottling Line Audits & Upgrades
iBottling audits running lines to quantify throughput, yield, and utility gaps, then translates the findings into a phased, CAPEX-light upgrade plan. The goal is a measured baseline and a prioritized roadmap—not a generic sales pitch.
Who This Service Is For
Plants operating 2,000–40,000 BPH lines that are running below their OEE target, seeing recurring jams or high rejection rates, or planning a capacity expansion.
Owners comparing a full line replacement against a targeted retrofit, and operations teams that need hard numbers before they approve capital.
What iBottling Provides
A pre-audit questionnaire, on-site observation, and data capture covering OEE, fill levels, rejection reasons, and changeover time.
A bottleneck report that ranks losses by impact, plus a prioritized list of recommendations—each with an indicative ROI and a suggested implementation sequence.
Typical Project Scope
A 1–5 day on-site audit for a single line, a written documentation package, and an optional pilot retrofit of the highest-impact item.
Remote audits are available where travel is constrained; these rely on the customer's production data and short video walkthroughs.
Information We Need From You
Current line layout, the machine list with makes and ages, target output, your product and container matrix, known pain points, and any utility limits on site.
Deliverables
An audit report with an OEE baseline, a bottleneck map, and an ROI estimate per recommendation; an upgrade priority list; and a budgetary quote for the recommended work.
Limitations & RFQ Confirmation
Audit findings are indicative and based on observed runs. Final scope, lead time, and pricing are confirmed during RFQ after we review your data. We do not guarantee a fixed savings figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an audit take?
A single-line on-site audit is typically 1–5 working days depending on line length and the amount of data to capture. A remote audit is shorter but depends on the quality of the data you can share.
Do you audit lines built by other OEMs?
Yes. Audits are OEM-agnostic: we assess the running line and its losses, not the brand of the equipment.
Will the audit stop production?
Observation is non-intrusive and scheduled around your shifts. Where we need to instrument a machine, we coordinate a short, planned stop with your team.
What do we prepare beforehand?
The pre-audit questionnaire, recent production reports, and access to the line and its controls. The more historical data you provide, the sharper the bottleneck analysis.
