Stabilise production without slowing throughput

Soft drink production relies on continuous processes where syrup dosing, carbonation, thermal control and filling must remain perfectly controlled to ensure taste, stability and product quality.

Even minor deviations can lead to Brix variations, CO₂ loss, filling defects or resource overconsumption.

Indao transforms data from syrup preparation, carbonation, filling lines and utilities into reliable operational indicators and concrete recommendations.

Why soft drink processes are different

High-speed continuous processes where dosing precision and product stability are critical.

Precise balance between syrup, water and CO₂

Small variations immediately impact taste, pressure and perceived product quality

High-speed packaging lines

Isobaric filling and high throughput require stable process conditions

Strong dependence on utilities and cleaning

Temperature, pressure, water and CIP cycles directly impact performance and line availability

The challenges you face

  • Dosing & Brix stability: ensure consistent mixing despite production variability
  • Carbonation control: manage pressure, temperature and CO₂ dissolution for consistent sensory quality
  • Filling line performance: reduce product losses, underfilling and downtime linked to process deviations
  • Energy & utilities: optimise cooling, compressed air, water and cleaning-in-place (CIP)
  • Quality & compliance: ensure batch traceability and product specification compliance

The limits of your current tools

  • Data often siloed between syrup preparation, carbonation and packaging
  • Quality control based on spot sampling
  • Difficulty correlating process parameters with line losses
  • Limited visibility on real energy performance per production run
  • Few tools to anticipate deviations impacting dosing or carbonation

What Indao delivers in practice

We design advanced analytics solutions that genuinely improve control of soft drink processes, with AI as a support : explainable, controlled and field-oriented.

Real-time tracking of key parameters (Brix, pressure, temperature, flow) within the context of recipe and line speed
Continuous estimation of indicators related to carbonation and mixture stability based on process data
Analysis of interactions between dosing, carbonation and filling to identify root causes of losses and quality deviations
Identification of inefficiencies in cooling, compressed air and CIP cycles to improve operational efficiency
Structured historisation of production conditions to support quality analysis and performance tracking
Seamless connection to existing systems (SCADA, MES, quality control, energy monitoring) without disrupting production
