   Keeping production running

   CCEP uses Spot to collect inspection data that can help catch line issues before they grow. The plant runs around the clock, and downtime is costly, so earlier warnings can help teams respond sooner.

   A demanding maintenance schedule

   East Kilbride has four production lines, two for glass and two for PET bottles, serving Scotland and northern England. Its older equipment needs frequent checks, from daily and weekly inspections to annual overhauls. CCEP wants more reliable data to guide maintenance decisions and reduce unexpected breakdowns.

   Building condition monitoring

   After a successful Spot pilot at CCEP’s Barcelona plant, the company began expanding the approach to other sites, including East Kilbride. Spot is being set up to repeat inspections hourly, checking items such as gearboxes and electrical panels with thermal imaging. About 300 inspection points across the four lines are being used to build baselines and flag unusual readings.

   Turning findings into action

   The team reviews Spot’s missions and inspection results in Orbit, then routes out-of-range findings to a reliability engineer. Spot has already helped identify air leaks that engineers investigated and repaired. Visual checks can also look for fire extinguishers, missing padlocks, meter readings, and lubrication tank levels.

   Freeing time for higher-value work

   Inspection data has already led to remedial work that CCEP says can prevent further problems and costs. Automating repeated checks gives engineers and technicians more time for critical assets and production support. The team is considering additional plant areas and AI features such as gauge reading.
