THE KEY FEATURES OF THE AWARD-WINNING PROJECT INCLUDE:
Fleet Management of Returnable Bottles: OPTEL’s advanced traceability platform, named Optchain, empowers Coca-Cola with comprehensive visibility into the history, number of cycles, and useful life of each returnable bottle. This insight allows for optimized fleet management and forecasting, enabling Coca-Cola to maximize the reusability of bottles and streamline the return process.
Packaging Quality Assurance: The collaborative effort addresses the quality of packaging by implementing a robust system to identify and rectify issues at both the bottle supplier’s production stage and on the filling line. This approach ensures that each production batch meets the highest standards, reducing rejection rates and minimizing waste.
The sustainability impact of this initiative is profound, contributing to a circular economy by fostering the reusability of plastic materials and improving supply chain efficiency. OPTEL and Coca-Cola are leading the way in driving positive environmental change.
“We are honored to have provided Coca-Cola with the winning solution of the Automation Award in the Sustainability category from GS1 Brazil,” said Giancarlo Fusaro, Latin America Sales Director at OPTEL Group. “This recognition highlights our commitment to sustainable business practices and innovative solutions that contribute to a more efficient and sustainable supply chain. Our partnership with Coca-Cola exemplifies the transformative power of collaboration in addressing global challenges.”
OPTEL and Coca-Cola continue to set the standard for sustainable business practices within the circular economy framework, demonstrating that strategic partnerships and innovative traceability technologies can pave the way for a more sustainable supply chain.
