Before Kellogg’s embraced digital transformation, the multinational food manufacturer collected data from its weight-control system manually, which often led to issues with compliance and product non-conformity. To navigate the rising pressures of increasingly stringent regulations and growing public scrutiny, Kellogg’s turned to AVEVA PI System to reduce product variability, optimize equipment reliability, and transform its food-production lines.
Qatar Power (or Q Power), an independent power and water producer in the State of Qatar, aims to improve plant efficiency and safety amid many challenges: global warming, high fluctuations in demand due to extreme climate, and increased population growth. Qatar Power also needs to monitor heat stress to avoid health, safety, and environmental (HSE) incidents.
ArcelorMittal Mining Canada G.P. (AMEM) is a major Canadian supplier of iron ore products. To meet customer demands, it had to increase production from 16 million to over 24 million metric tons. But its only loading facility was designed for smaller ships and couldn’t be expanded. So, the company implemented AVEVA™ PI System™ to use its existing infrastructure and capital investments more efficiently. Its integrated remote operations center (IROC) integrates data across operations—from pit to port—so they run as efficiently as possible.
