B&R Industrial Automation Application Case: High-Speed Beverage Filling Line Intelligent Upgrade

Introduction

With the continuous upgrading of food and beverage manufacturing, high-speed, high-precision, and flexible production has become the core demand of the industry. Traditional beverage filling production lines are plagued by inconsistent system synchronization, cumbersome model switching, and frequent equipment failures, which seriously restrict production efficiency.

As an experienced supplier of multi-brand genuine automation spare parts with more than ten years of industry experience, we exclusively provide brand-new original B&R (Bernecker & Rainer) spare parts with reliable after-sales guarantee. This article focuses on the latest 2026 intelligent renovation case of a domestic large-scale beverage filling production line, demonstrating the outstanding performance of B&R automation solutions in the packaging industry.

Project Overview

The production base’s old filling line adopted scattered controllers and split servo systems from multiple brands, resulting in large synchronization errors, long debugging cycles for product switching, and high failure rates. To solve these pain points, the production line was fully upgraded with a complete B&R integrated automation solution, covering the whole process of feeding, filling, sealing, film coating, and conveying.

Core B&R Hardware Configuration:

• ACOPOSmulti multi-axis servo drives for high-precision power control

• X20 series distributed I/O modules for real-time data collection

• B&R industrial touch HMI + Automation Studio unified programming platform

• POWERLINK high-speed real-time bus to realize millisecond-level synchronous linkage of the whole line

Optimization Results & Project Value

After the B&R system renovation, the filling line achieved remarkable improvements in production efficiency, flexibility, and operational stability:

• Productivity Improvement: The overall production speed increased by 30%, with a stable hourly output of 12,000 cups of packaged beverages.

• Flexible Production Upgrade: The debugging time for switching cup types and beverage specifications was shortened from 3 hours to 15 minutes, greatly reducing downtime for model replacement.

• Stability Enhancement: The integrated control system simplifies circuit connection and hardware layout, reducing unplanned equipment failure rates by nearly 40% and effectively cutting production loss caused by shutdowns.

Relying on B&R’s mature electronic cam and multi-axis synchronization algorithm, the project perfectly solves common industry problems such as filling measurement deviation and sealing misalignment, building a benchmark intelligent production line for the beverage packaging industry.
