Packaging automation and reduction of secondary materials
The installation of a semi-automated conditioning technology at the Coca-Cola FEMSA plant in Tocancipá has allowed for the automation of packaging with printed shrink polyethylene for the PET family of soft drinks and transparent polyolefin shrink for the TETRA family of products. This solution has improved cost efficiency indicators for the customer in Colombia and has reduced the use of cardboard and stretch film, which was previously used in original packaging. In addition, the integration of this technology into the existing shrink line has increased assembly speed, beautified presentation, and raised quality and productivity indicators.
New collaborative work pilot to automate maquila on the cans of soda line
The success of the alliance has also led Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA to develop a new collaborative work pilot to automate maquila on the can line, in their six and four pack presentations of 235 ml, which will allow them to centralize national distribution of offers delivered by the bottler in Tocancipá.
Acquisition of a new fleet of sustainable vehicles
The acquisition of a new fleet of heavy vehicles powered by Euro V Natural Gas Vehicle has allowed Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA to transform their transportation operation into a sustainable operation. This investment in innovation with 100% clean technologies in their transportation processes has allowed them to significantly reduce pollutant emissions of Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide and particulate matter, increasing productivity and optimizing fuel consumption.
Benefits of collaboration between Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA
Collaboration between Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA has allowed both companies to expand their regional vision and take advantage of opportunities for improvement in their processes. Innovation and environmental improvement are two of the main benefits of this strategic alliance. By working together, Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA have been able to improve the end consumer experience, comply with all industrial safety processes, and ensure sustainability in operations. In addition, they have been able to reduce their carbon footprint and increase cost efficiency by reducing secondary materials, automating packaging, and acquiring a fleet of sustainable vehicles.
The collaboration between Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA demonstrates that innovation and environmental improvement are two key elements for success in the supply chain and transportation of products. Investment in clean technologies and reduction of pollutant emissions are increasingly necessary practices in the logistics sector. Solistica and Coca-Cola FEMSA are an example to follow in the search for personalized and efficient solutions that generate significant cost savings and reduce carbon emissions.
