Pretoria, South Africa — As summer rolls around, thoughts of barbeques and family get-togethers come to mind. And what would a good hot dog or hamburger be without a cold soft drink to quench a hot summer thirst. For soft drink makers, prepping for this busy time of year entails reviewing manufacturing lines to ensure they are operating at peak performance. The challenge of commissioning a new packaging line in time for this annual summer run on soft drink products can be daunting. But not for Amalgamated Beverage Industries, a division of South African Breweries (SAB), which chose to implement a new manufacturing line based on Wonderware automation software from Schneider Electric Software.
