A canned beverage manufacturer used a digital twin of its case and tray packing line to diagnose a persistent “yo-yo effect” fault. By testing virtually instead of on the live line, the team accelerated troubleshooting 10×, reduced downtime by 52%, and improved OEE by 14%.

How These Two CPGs Boosted OEE and Speed With Digital Twins

A beverage line saw downtime drop 52% and OEE rise 14%. Another CPG cut NPI timelines by 32 weeks. Real-world case studies show digital twins are paying off fast for packaging teams.

Dwayne Negron, digital twin capability manager at Kalypso, a Rockwell business, noted that more end users are “bringing in digital twin requirements on first pass to their contracts.
