Challenge	Danone evian, a renowned brand of natural mineral water, wanted to upgrade its bottling facility to deliver water more sustainably by reducing energy consumption at every stage of production. The key challenge of the project was maintaining the continuity of operations, which meant all modernization work had to be synchronized with just two annual maintenance shutdowns at the site. The company aimed to monitor, visualize, and manage energy use in real time; increase energy efficiency; and achieve sustainability goals. Read More
About Customer	The internationally renowned brand of evian natural mineral water belongs to French food group Danone. The brand’s history reaches back to 1789 when the Marquis de Lessert discovered a spring in the town of Evian-les-Bains. The unique crisp taste of evian water is the result of its 15-year journey through glacial rocks, where it gets filtered and enriched with minerals and electrolytes. Upon arriving at its destination in Évian-les-Bains, it gets bottled at the evian factory, which has 14 production lines delivering 33 product types, from 75 centiliters glass bottles to the 6-liter carboys. The company's business as mineral water producers is not only bottling this resource, but above all preserving and protecting it. Read More
Solution	For the modernization project, Danone evian decided to go with Schneider’s Service and Modernization Plan. The companies signed a 7-year contract with a fixed annual fee for both modernization and maintenance of the electrical installation. The project kicked off with an MPS (modernization, performance, safety) audit to comprehensively evaluate the condition of the existing equipment. Schneider experts worked to identify and document possible safety risks and regulatory issues, assess current capabilities, identify required upgrades, and create a complete overview of installed assets. In the next step, the old MV switchgear were replaced with the new Schneider’s SM6 switchgear. Schneider also took care of the end-of-life processing of old equipment, including the environmentally friendly disposal of SF6 gas. The LV switchgear were modernized within Schneider’s ECOFITTM solutions. The old MasterPact type M circuit breakers got exchanged for the latest MasterPact MTZ 2 circuit breakers.
