ighlighting Marlabs’ collaboration with the world’s largest beer company to implement a cutting-edge digital solution that improved efficiency, productivity, and overall performance. Leveraging EDGE Processing and other innovative technologies, Marlabs transformed the company’s operations and prepared them for future growth and success.
The Story
Introduction
As the world continues to become increasingly digital, companies must adapt their operations to stay competitive. Digital transformation allows organizations to revolutionize business processes, streamline operations, and enhance productivity. Marlabs, a leader in digital transformation, has used its expertise in technology and digitalization to help businesses thrive in this ever-changing landscape. In this case study, we explore how Marlabs partnered with the world’s largest beer company to implement a cutting-edge solution that improved efficiency, productivity, and overall performance.
Context
The client, a global brewing giant headquartered in Belgium, operates in nearly 50 countries with a portfolio of over 500 beer brands sold in over 100 countries. In their quest for continuous improvement, the client sought to enhance productivity, streamline processes, and increase efficiency across their organization, focusing on unlocking and harnessing existing infrastructure and assets to deliver more excellent value to stakeholders.
The Challenge
The traditional operational model at the client’s manufacturing plant in Mysuru, Karnataka, was characterized by siloed departments and limited access to information. Data was primarily confined to physical documents, making it difficult to share with external stakeholders and central operations. The client also faced challenges from resistance to change, legacy thinking, and an unwillingness to adopt modern technology.

Our Approach
Marlabs’ Approach
Marlabs began by conducting a comprehensive plant assessment to identify areas for improvement and develop a tailored solution to enhance the client’s operations. To address the identified challenges, Marlabs proposed a cloud-based solution that included reference architecture for each plant component. Each component, such as the brewery and packaging units, was treated as a mini-cloud connected to an overarching Plant Cloud that fed data to various operational and functional aspects of the plant, such as ERP, Admin, HR, QA, and CMS.
To mitigate network latency concerns and ensure critical processes remained on the floor, Marlabs incorporated EDGE Processing into their solution. EDGE Processing involves the critical processing of rules or actions executed on a device physically placed next to the gateway, allowing for quick responses and actions on the floor. In this case, Marlabs utilized Windows-based tablets with a custom-built app that consumed data from the gateway via a serial protocol. As a result, floor technicians could access all data and take appropriate action from their tablets.
Proof of Concept
Demonstrating their commitment to the project’s success, the Marlabs team developed a Proof of Concept (PoC) to showcase the potential of their solution. Over a month, they collected detailed information on processes, equipment, data points, and more. The team utilized an accelerator platform to link multiple devices for real-time data visualization and analytics.
A vital component of the PoC involved finding a gateway to fit each of the client’s tanks and send data to the cloud backend, allowing for remote control of the tanks. Marlabs designed user-friendly interfaces for technicians, enabling them to organize data in a way that best suited their needs. In addition, Marlabs developed a mobile app that allowed technicians to monitor processes remotely, identify issues, and resolve them promptly. Finally, a 3D model of the tanks, complete with internal and external views, was created using augmented reality to enhance remote access and troubleshooting capabilities further.
The Result
Through their digital transformation initiative, Marlabs provided the client with a comprehensive understanding of the inefficiencies in their plant operations and a roadmap for addressing them through digital solution interventions. The roadmap included a 3, 6, and 9-month breakdown of solutions and necessary funding for successful implementation.
The client now has greater insight into improving organizational productivity and efficiency. With the intelligence gathered and solutions provided by Marlabs, they are well-equipped to optimize operations in any unit throughout their global enterprise, ensuring they remain future-ready and capable of fulfilling their purpose.
The Impact
The case study of Marlabs’ collaboration with the world’s largest beer company demonstrates the power of digital transformation in revolutionizing business operations. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of the client’s unique challenges, Marlabs delivered an innovative solution that improved efficiency and productivity and prepared the organization for future growth and success.
This partnership highlights the importance of embracing digitalization and adapting to an ever-changing business landscape. With the right approach and expert guidance from industry leaders like Marlabs, companies can successfully navigate the complexities of digital transformation and unlock the full potential of their existing infrastructure and assets.
In today’s highly competitive market, the ability to innovate and adapt is critical for long-term success. As this case study shows, partnering with digital transformation experts like Marlabs can provide the necessary insights and tools to drive significant improvements in operational efficiency, productivity, and overall performance. Embracing change and leveraging technology’s power can help businesses not just survive but thrive in an increasingly digital world.
