Sinebrychoff produces Coca-Cola now more efficiently

“Sinebrychoff” yra ne tik seniausia maisto ir gėrimų įmonė Suomijoje, bet ir seniausia alaus darykla Šiaurės šalyse. 2021 m. “Sinebrychoff” tapo pirmąja įmone pasaulyje, gaminančia “Coca-Cola” anglies neutraliai naudojant atsinaujinančią energiją.

“Mums pavyko pasiekti “Carlsberg Group” anglies dioksido neutralumo tikslą 1 ir 2 apimties išmetamų teršalų daryklai 9 metus anksčiau nei numatyta”, - sako “Sinebrychoff” meistras Joonas Makkonenas.

Be to, “Sinebrychoff” gėrimams sunaudojamo vandens kiekis per maždaug dešimt metų sumažėjo daugiau nei 100 milijonų litrų kasmet.

“Grupės tikslas yra stengtis išsaugoti visus gamtos išteklius”, - sako “Sinebrychoff” COO Petri Mikkonenas.

All systems and devices on the same Building X platform

In the summer of 2025, Sinebrychoff implemented Siemens' Building X platform solution as part of the digitalization of energy efficiency and maintenance of their industrial properties.

“Building X has brought significant improvements in both operational efficiency and transparency in property management,” says Sinebrychoff's automation expert Oskari Manninen.

Initially, data related to building automation and production processes were separate.

“Production workers had no view of the overall situation of the factory. The information related to energy consumption was scattered across the building automation system and the analytics tool of the outdated process control system, which only one person could edit. Retrieving the information required manual coding and the analytics displays were rigid. The analyses were partly done manually in Excel,” describes Riikka Sissonen, Sales Manager for Digital Solutions at Siemens.

Now the building automation and process control system and all devices are connected to the same platform, which creates significant added value for Sinebrychoff.

The Energy Manager app helps track carbon footprint

There are several different apps available for the Building X platform, depending on the needs of the client. Sinebrychoff was the first to implement the Energy Manager app for monitoring energy consumption and the Data Visualizer, which enables customized views.

“Energy Manager has helped us identify significant opportunities for saving energy and closely monitor our carbon footprint. This strongly supports our company’s energy and sustainability goals – while improving cost efficiency and the reliability of the production environment,” says Manninen.

The app has received praise from users.

“The user interface is modern and easy to use, and it provides real-time data on the energy consumption of the properties, indoor conditions and maintenance needs. This allows us to react quickly to deviations and optimize our operations based on data.”

Strategic solution for industrial property management

The implementation of the Building X platform solution is a continuation of the long-term cooperation between Sinebrychoff and Siemens. In addition to Building X, Sinebrychoff uses Siemens' Desigo building automation solution, an electric car charging system, a virtual power plant and an energy storage system in Kerava. The company has also utilized flexible financing solutions from SFS (Siemens Financial Services).

“Once again, the collaboration with Siemens has been very professional. The implementation of the platform went according to plan, and Siemens' expert support has also been available during the operation phase”, says Manninen.

Now Sinebrychoff has a good overall view of the digital readiness of its properties and the opportunity to refine its operations to be even more environmentally friendly.

“Building X has proven to be a strategic solution that brings concrete added value to the management of industrial properties and future development,” says Manninen.

“This collaboration has proven that sustainability and improving business efficiency can go hand in hand,” Sissonen adds.
