To ensure transparency across its global operations, Carlsberg has adopted PTC’s digital manufacturing solution suite to boost its performance at 28 breweries in Europe and Asia.

“Digitisation is driving change in the industry and has given us the opportunity to look at different channels of approach for improvement. By integrating ThingWorx with our existing production assets, we have enhanced connectivity across our breweries and can now provide more detailed analytics of the packaging cycle,” continued Farina.
