The Problem<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
The Heineken plant in Valencia is one of the company\u2019s four factories in Spain, where 30 different brands are canned, packaged and distributed. 4 million of these products are served every day in Spain.<\/p>\n
The production lines had previously used a bottle drying system which needed to be boosted with compressed-air supply to achieve the desired drying effect. However, this configuration was both inefficient and did not meet the quality demands of the user. \u00a0In addition, the original systems were complicated and it took a long time to adjust them to the different products.<\/p>\n
