Coca-Cola Andina: Automation and Sustainability at the Duque de Caxias Plant
Automation, flexibility, and safety were the guiding principles behind the project for Coca-Cola Andina's new plant in Duque de Caxias, Brazil.
Certified LEED Gold by the U.S. Green Building Council, the plant was designed to ensure the highest possible quality in both products and operations, to prioritize employee safety and well-being, and to promote environmental protection and sustainability. "The plant was designed with sustainability in mind. In this context, the technologies provided by the E80 Group played a strategic role in combining operational efficiency, safety, and resource conservation," explains Fausto Padrão, Engineering Manager at Coca-Cola Andina Brasil. In addition to automation and the application of digital solutions, targeted choices—such as responsible water resource use, the inclusion of natural lighting and ventilation, and the preservation of a large ecological park within the plant's grounds—have made this initiative a recognized benchmark within the Coca-Cola system.
