He describes the different stages of this multi-year project to move from siloed PLCs using 5 different protocols to a single source of all data using a single protocol. Among the benefits he describes are a 50% reduction in mean time between failure on packing lines, a reduction of energy use over 15 years, and shortening production meetings from 45 minutes to as little as 15 minutes. Kellogg's can compare the efficiency of cereal plants from around the world using a single source of data.
