Lineview Navigator Manufacturing Performance Platform

Lineview Solutions is a UK company based in Bromsgrove that builds production line performance software for beverage, food and other process plants. Its founder installed the first system at Coca-Cola Enterprises in 2001, and the software now monitors more than 600 lines in over 200 plants across 40+ countries, with a regional office in Bangkok serving Southeast Asia and APAC.

Lineview Navigator, launched in 2025 as the company's first SaaS platform, reads data directly from PLC code at sub-second frequency rather than from a historian. Its modules cover live OEE and stoppage ranking (Monitor), automatic shift and week reports (Review), benchmarking across lines and sites (Analyse), guided digital workflows for teams (SmartWorker) and an AI layer with analysis agents (AMI). Customers include Coca-Cola bottlers, PepsiCo, Danone and Suntory.

• PLC-level data capture: reads PLC code at sub-second frequency without a historian or OPC aggregator.
• Monitor: live OEE and line status with stoppages ranked by impact on output.
• Review: automatic shift, day and week reports that highlight deviations from target.
• Analyse: benchmarking across lines, sites and regions with loss deep dives.
• SmartWorker: recommended tasks, step-by-step digital workflows and production-linked messaging.
• AMI: an AI layer that answers operational questions and flags chronic losses.

A Vietnamese beverage or beer producer can monitor filling and packing lines and rank stoppages by lost cases. A dairy plant can benchmark several lines and automate shift reports for management. A food group with plants in Vietnam and Thailand can compare sites with the same OEE definitions.

The company reports an average OEE improvement of about 20%, a 14% output increase and a 15% reduction in unplanned downtime across its customer base. Ranking stoppages by their effect on output separates root causes from downstream effects, so teams fix the right machine first. Cloud access around the clock lets regional managers compare lines and sites without building their own data stack.

Beverage and packaged food output is growing quickly in Vietnam and Thailand, and bottlers serving global brands are expected to report OEE in a common way across plants. Cloud OEE platforms that read machine data directly and add AI guidance for operators are replacing manual downtime logs in these plants.

Headquartered in Bromsgrove, UK, with regional offices in Tampa (USA), Zacatecas (Mexico) and Bangkok (Thailand, covering Southeast Asia, Oceania and India). First system installed in 2001; the company reports 200+ plants, 600+ lines, 40+ countries and 50+ customers. Navigator is listed on Azure Marketplace and supports 25 languages.
