Danone is a global leader in the Food & Beverage industry with a mission to drive healthier and more sustainable consumption through its “One Planet. One Health” initiative. Working with AVEVA, the Specialized Nutrition team has developed a core model or template that provides 20 standard functions for deployment across manufacturing sites, including a standard interface to SAP.
“We had the ambition to develop a state-of-the-art MES and chose AVEVA as a strong and global partner to maintain and improve our core model. The Model-Driven MES template gives Danone the flexibility to deploy a menu of 20 standard functionalities including standard interfaces, to all Specialized Nutrition plants.”
