Starzinger trusts in zenon for drinks filling (Austria)

Starzinger GmbH based in Frankenmarkt, Upper Austria, is the third largest producer of alcohol-free drinks in Austria. In addition to filling its own products, the company fills approximately 250 products from around 100 other international companies.

In order to maintain an overview with this amount of diversity, the drinks group uses the expertise of Preishuber GmbH and zenon from COPA-DATA.

Since its formation in 1906, Starzinger GmbH has gradually made a name for itself on the Austrian and international drinks markets. Today the company has three sites, two private breweries and a total operating area of 65,000 m². In Austria, Starzinger GmbH is primarily associated with the company’s own brand names, Frankenmarkter mineral water, Frankenmarkter lemonades and “Schartner Bombe”. 230 employees at three sites ensure that the total of four PET, three glass and two can filling facilities work smoothly and the total output of 170,000 units per hour is achieved.

The factory in Frankenmarkt was expanded during the period from 2001 to 2003. The complexity of production increased accordingly. Numerous data must be evaluated, analyzed and presented to the authorities at state, federal, EU and international level. There is additional pressure from the customers, who require high product quality and punctual delivery. To be able to continue to meet these expectations, Starzinger GmbH brought specialist support to Frankenmarkt. Together with Preishuber GmbH from Pöndorf, experts in electrical and automation technology, a process control system was to be implemented that would record all process-related data and visualize the equipment and its processes. zenon came into play at this point.
