Bodegas Juan Gil
Located in Jumilla with over 100 years of history, they are an example of family tradition and applied technology
Bodegas Juan Gil, Located in Jumilla (Murcia), it is part of the prestigious Gil Family Estates group and boasts over 100 years of history as a family-owned winery. Internationally recognized for the quality of its wines, it combines tradition and technology across all production stages, maintaining a strong commitment to innovation and winemaking excellence.
To provide Bodegas Juan Gil with a reliable and accurate system to track productivity, efficiency, and rework at their plant, capturing real-time data to enable faster strategic decision-making
All of this, furthermore, built on a scalable and adaptable technological foundation tailored to the operational reality of a winery integrated into a multi-plant group with standardization needs
- The need for a flexible system to handle a dynamic mix of processes (both automated and manual).
- Maintaining full operator and material traceability despite frequent task changes.
- Obtaining reliable, real-time data to make strategic decisions regarding costs and efficiency.
- Controlling and reducing rework by clearly identifying its causes and ownership.
The main challenge was moving away from an operation where there was barely enough information to analyze actual line performance
Without consistent metrics on productivity, downtime, efficiency, or rework, it was difficult to pinpoint exactly where losses were occurring and which decisions could truly impact costs and shop floor organization.
Compounding this was the inherent complexity of the winery environment: a mix of automated and manual processes, frequent task changes, the need to maintain operator and material traceability, and a cultural context where tradition coexists with the demand for standardization.
The challenge was not just to go digital, but to do so without disrupting operations—backed by a flexible, fully supported solution capable of growing consistently across the group.
Bodegas Juan Gil implemented MESView across all plant processes to monitor productivity, efficiency, and traceability at every stage of wine production.

- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) tracking and detailed loss analysis (micro-stoppages, rework, format changeovers)
- Greater operational agility in managing combined processes and line configurations.
- 20% reduction in operating costs driven by real-data decision-making.
- End-to-end traceability, even in hybrid automated and manual environments.
- Fast implementation and high user adoption, thanks to a clear, operator-friendly interface.
