Tetra Pak's new service solutions for maintenance, issues monitoring, and resolution center around:

• Connected workforce—Empowered with wearable technology, local Tetra Pak service engineers at customer sites are now able to connect directly with global Tetra Pak specialists wherever they are, providing real-time, expert support to customers. 
• Advanced analytics—Data from filling lines around the world is collected into a central database from where it can be accessed and analyzed by a team of Tetra Pak's global experts. The robust database means that advanced analysis can be used to predict issues and optimize machine performance.
• Connected solutions—All equipment at the customer’s plant can be connected to the Microsoft Azure cloud system managed by Tetra Pak, enabling machines at different production stages such as processing, filling, and distribution to communicate with each other and synchronize. This gives the customer an overview of the plant and offers performance optimization opportunities for the whole production process.
