Abstract
System and method for optimizing bottling line performance based on data received from a bottle with sensors. The system provides a bottle with sensors in a bottling line or maintenance system, a network gateway, a human machine interface (HMI) device, and a platform server. The HMI device provides for local control of the bottling line while the platform server handles distribution of GUIs, as well as data processing, data storage, and data analysis.
