Audited plant data from 47 reference lines — not testimonial copy.
Every case below carries a Fraunhofer- or operator-verified baseline: commissioning weeks before Rowi, commissioning weeks after, OEE at go-live, OEE at +90 days, and the FlowEngine modules deployed on the line. The dossier is written for COOs, PE operating partners, and plant managers who need evidence before they book a visit.
Reference plant catalogue — filtered by line type and country.
Four representative dossiers below. Each row carries the line type, country, baseline OEE, achieved OEE delta within 90 days of go-live, and commissioning compression. The full catalogue — 47 entries across bottling, filling, and discrete assembly — is available during the discovery visit.

RS-2024-014 · Anonymised bottling reference, Baden-Württemberg.
A mid-cap bottler operating three legacy lines inherited from a 2014 brownfield project. The target line ran at 62.1 % OEE on a 24/7 schedule with a 12-week planned commissioning window. Rowi was engaged to compress the window, lift OEE into the mid-70s within 90 days, and leave the customer with a maintainable control code base.

Gold-tier system integrator
Siemens, Beckhoff, and Schneider Electric — gold-tier status held continuously since 2017.
“The numbers we cared about were weeks, not slides. Rowi gave us a working line in 4.2 weeks where the previous integrator had planned 11, and the post-go-live NOC picked up our first P1 inside twelve minutes. That is what changed our shortlist for the next site.”
