Executive Summary

Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) is one of Australia’s leading beverage providers with over 500 beverage brands worldwide. Market dominance is driven by product diversification and commitment to consumers, communities and innovation in the marketplace. These market drivers according Chief Executive Officer Muhtar Kent have evolved to sharpen external focus on the marketplace underpinned by greater speed, productivity and effectiveness. The comprehensive metering and monitoring package provided by Buildings Evolved is in line with the brands proactive strategy of fine tuning its operations.

Out Performers Pty Ltd were the contracted agents for which Buildings Evolved were commissioned to deliver metered data from an existing system sent to a web-based monitoring program across 5 sites. The infrastructure project ultimately provided a complete picture of Coca-Cola’s energy and utility consumption across their Australian operations and is currently being utilised to drive efficiency and productivity programs.

Technical Overview

• There exists SCADA/PLC network at each control point on the line
• This network point can be split by use of an industrial network switch
• The resultant spare PLC network ports are used to connect up the electricity meters
• The proposed meter is a Northern Designs Rail 350 IP model electricity meter
• Northern Designs is the preferred brand due to flexible communications options including TCP/IP as well as prior experience with the product
• The combination of energy meters with their associated outputs from counters already existing on SCADA will provide plant efficiency measurements, e.g. KWh per unit produced

Metering equipment installed

• 18x Northern Designs Rail 350 IP meters
• At each metering point, there is existing SCADA network point that shall be split by the use of 13x Moxa EDS205 5-port industrial DIN Ethernet switch

• That the Out Performers EMC team shall supply and commission the DataTaker DT80 data logger. Installation shall be covered by this contract on the basis of a supplied shelf in an existing data rack, with supplied SCADA network connection and power (specifically excluding enclosures/other accessories)
• That the CCA engineering team develop the ActivPlant OPC server to poll the metering and monitoring devices for connection to the PLC

Main Utility Connections

Electricity – On side of HV shed – connection by supply authority of Modbus module, subsequent connection and programming to SCADA. Subject to approval by Acumen Metering.

Water – Connection to existing supply authority meter pulse output connection, programming and testing by Sydney Water. A pulse signal sent by the unit at Sydney Water defined intervals. Subject to approval by Sydney Water.

Gas – Connection via Jemena flow compensator direct to intrinsically safe GSM data logger by Aegis. Subject to approval by Jemena.

The Solution

CCA manufacturing facilities have as standard equipment; a Citect 7.2 SCADA system alongside ActivPlant PLC.  By connecting the new metering points to the existing PLC system, significant value is added to the engineering teams on site by providing them with high frequency data.  Less frequent data, typically 5 or 15-minute interval data is sent to the Out Performers EMC (Switch Platform) via a Data Taker DT80 data logger for higher level analysis and reporting requirements.  This system will allow a rich data set to be sent to the EMC, and it is here that the data will be turned into knowledge, through sophisticated data browsing and analysis tools, along with alerts and alarms, and a large collection of stock reports.
