APOLLO AUTOMATIONJAMES WARREN · ENGINEERING & PROJECT LEADERSHIPPRJ-A-001 · Food and beverage manufacturer
Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. The filler and conveyor had to operate as one packaging system. Increasing filler output would only help if product return, bottle movement and changeover arrangements could support the same rate.

Workstream: Production and Packaging Modernization
The filler and conveyor had to operate as one packaging system. Increasing filler output would only help if product return, bottle movement and changeover arrangements could support the same rate.
Led the 44-valve hygienic retrofit and coordinated return capacity with conveyor behavior and product supply. Used SKU-level operating evidence to compare performance, keeping the improvement tied to the actual package mix. The engineering connected line capacity with sanitation, maintainability and production continuity.
Improve throughput between 35 and 71 percent across SKUs by retrofitting hygienic filler valves and adding return capacity.
Bottling & Packaging Systems
Full lifecycle project ownership
Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.
