Carbonation Consistency

Cut CO2 volume variance by 74% and eliminate dissolved oxygen exceedances that flatten product in trade.

−74%

CO2 Volume Variance

Standard deviation of CO2 vols reduced from 0.28 to 0.073 across all SKUs in the pilot portfolio

−89%

DO Exceedances

Dissolved oxygen events above 60ppb dropped from 8.4 per shift to under 1 per shift

−31%

Consumer Complaints

Flat product complaints and over-carbonation burst incidents reduced in the 6-month post-deployment window

How Allie Works Here

From signal to action in real time.

Process ControlQuality ControlPredictive Maintenance

The Process Control agent monitors Anton Paar CO2 volume readings at 2-second intervals and applies a temperature-compensation model to predict actual dissolved CO2 at the filler bowl temperature. When the prediction indicates CO2 will be outside spec at the filler, the agent adjusts injection pressure setpoint via Comac OPC-UA interface 45–90 seconds upstream, correcting before the product reaches the fill zone. The Quality Control agent maintains a shift-level specification adherence score and correlates DO exceedances to specific upstream events such as tank breathing, pump cavitation signatures, or incomplete CIP rinse. The Predictive Maintenance agent monitors CO2 mass-flow meter drift and injection valve seat wear, prompting calibration or replacement through the Maintenance agent's work-order queue before drift translates into out-of-spec product.
