The addanode and Talbot site team at CCBSA, January 2026.

There is something powerful about seeing operations up close. Real people. Real processes. Real constraints.

CCBSA's team runs an impressive operation — disciplined, data-driven, and still looking for the next 1% of improvement. That mindset is what makes collaboration meaningful.

For us, it is never about pushing technology. It is about listening, understanding how people actually work, and then aligning solutions with what operators, managers and customers really need.

Highlights from the day

  • Open, practical discussions on how to improve reliability and visibility.
  • Exploring how Industrial IoT can quietly support already-strong processes.
  • A shared focus on long-term outcomes rather than quick wins.

On the water side of the plant — where reliability and visibility earn their keep.

We left energized. Work can be serious and still be fun — especially when you are learning from professionals at the top of their game. We look forward to turning these conversations into concrete, measurable improvements for the teams on site and the customers they serve every day.

The engagement behind the visit: we tell the fuller story — the approach, the water-process focus with Talbot as specialist partner, and what we're working toward — in the case study: Reliability & visibility at Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa. Published with the client's agreement; no performance figures without their sign-off.
