In our April 2022 issue, Aaron Hand detailed how Rockwell Automation’s PlantPAX control system enabled greater operator efficiency, real-time troubleshooting, simplified data analysis, and increased manufacturing flexibility, among other improvements, in Amway’s energy drink operation.
Depending on your age, you might remember Amway as a multi-level seller of cleaning supplies and other household goods. The company has expanded in several different directions since its beginnings, including personal care products, cookware, vitamins and supplements, and more. One of Amway’s newest products is its XS brand of energy drinks. Marketed as a blast of energy without sugar or carbs, XS is a blend of premium ingredients, herbs, and B vitamins.
