HIGHLIGHTS
- Beverage manufacturers use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect and centralize operational data from production equipment and plant systems.
- The gateway connects PLCs, filling machines, packaging equipment, conveyors, sensors, energy meters, and other industrial devices into a unified data environment.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables communication between production equipment, PLCs, SCADA systems, and cloud monitoring platforms.
- Edge data processing supports local data collection, equipment monitoring, event detection, and data logging at the plant level.
- Secure remote connectivity provides centralized visibility into machine status, production conditions, energy usage, and equipment performance.
The Challenge – Managing Data Across Beverage Production Lines
Beverage plants contain multiple interconnected production stages, including processing, filling, labeling, packaging, conveying, and utility systems. Production data is often distributed across individual machines and controllers, making centralized monitoring and analysis difficult.
Distributed Machine Data
Production information is generated by different machines and PLCs across the plant.
Limited Production Visibility
Operators may need to access individual machine interfaces to understand equipment status and operating conditions.
Multiple Communication Protocols
Different machines and automation devices can use different communication methods, making unified data collection challenging.
Equipment Downtime Detection
Machine stops, faults, and abnormal conditions may not be visible centrally, delaying response.
Energy Monitoring Gaps
Energy consumption from production equipment and plant utilities can be difficult to collect alongside machine data.
Disconnected Monitoring Systems
Production equipment data may remain separated from SCADA, dashboards, cloud applications, and other management systems.

The Solution – Connected Beverage Plant Data Collection
AdiNexus Gateway provides the connectivity layer between beverage production equipment and centralized monitoring applications.
Installed within machine control panels or plant automation infrastructure, the gateway collects equipment data, processes it locally, and transfers selected information to SCADA or cloud platforms.
Integrated Systems
AdiNexus can connect with:
- Filling machines
- Bottling equipment
- Labeling machines
- Packaging machines
- Conveyors
- Pumps and motors
- PLCs and controllers
- Energy meters
Supports Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT for connecting different industrial devices and monitoring platforms.
Real-Time Monitoring & Alerts
Operators can monitor:
- Machine running status
- Equipment availability
- Production line status
- Machine operating parameters
- Motor and drive conditions
- Energy consumption
- Fault and alarm conditions
- Communication status
This provides a centralized view of production equipment instead of relying only on individual machine interfaces.
Edge Data Collection
AdiNexus processes production data at the plant level:
- Automatic PLC data acquisition
- Local equipment monitoring
- Data filtering and processing
- Event detection
- On-gateway data logging
- Local data buffering during connectivity interruptions
Collected data can be synchronized with connected monitoring platforms when communication is restored.
Machine Fault & Event Monitoring
The gateway can make configured equipment conditions available to operators, including:
- Machine faults
- Equipment stops
- Drive or motor conditions
- Production-line interruptions
- Communication failures
- Configured operating thresholds
This helps maintenance and operations teams identify equipment conditions more quickly.
Cloud & SCADA Integration
Collected beverage plant data can be connected to:
- SCADA systems
- Cloud monitoring platforms
- Production dashboards
- Industrial analytics applications
- Energy monitoring platforms
- Centralized plant monitoring systems
This enables machine and process information from different production areas to be accessed through a common monitoring environment.
Production Data Analytics
Collected data can support analysis of:
- Machine runtime
- Equipment utilization
- Production-line operating patterns
- Downtime events
- Energy consumption
- Equipment fault history
- Machine performance trends
- Historical production data
This creates a connected data layer that can help beverage manufacturers improve visibility across production equipment and plant operations.
