Digitize and automate packaging line
Duracell in Heist-op-den-Berg partnered with Contec to digitize and automate their packaging line, replacing multiple software tools with our integrated CPMS 3 solution. This initiative aimed to:
-
Streamline operations
-
Reduce software licences
-
Enhance production visibility
The challenge
Paperless production floor
Duracell faced several challenges with their existing setup:
- Reliance on a range of papers, Excel sheets, and various software tools.
- High burden on shop floor staff and difficulties in onboarding temporary workers.
- Limited visibility into the production process.
- Numerous software licenses and associated maintenance costs.

Our approach
Efficient, manageable and cost-effective packaging line
To address these challenges, Contec integrated CPMS 3: Our in-house developed production software was installed on the shop floor, replacing the disparate tools.
Thanks to this implementation, Duracell benefited from:
- Streamlined operations: The integrated software reduced the complexity of managing multiple systems, easing the workload for staff.
- Enhanced production visibility: CPMS 3 provided a comprehensive view of the production process, enabling better monitoring and decision-making.
- Cost reduction: By consolidating software tools, the number of licenses and maintenance costs were significantly reduced.
This collaboration resulted in a more efficient, manageable, and cost-effective packaging line for Duracell.
