Case Studies

Automation and AI technologies are transforming high-volume food and beverage manufacturing, particularly spirits production, by improving traceability, reducing waste, and optimising operations at scale. Read our case study to understand how this shift enables manufacturers to achieve significant cost savings and operational efficiencies through data-driven processes.

Actemium has helped Javelot, a French agri-tech company, modernise grain storage across the UK with smarter, energy-efficient solutions – reducing costs, improving sustainability and protecting grain quality.

Actemium has supported the Electrical Distribution Network Upgrade Project (EDNUP) at Sellafield since 2018, working within the Infrastructure Strategic Alliance alongside Arup and Morgan Sindall. Providing SQEP electrical design and technical expertise, the business has modernised critical power infrastructure on site – improving resilience, reducing risk, and ensuring long-term security of supply.

Drawing on its extensive experience in engineering LV distribution and switchgear for the public sector, Actemium delivered a future-ready power solution for a new net zero carbon primary school. The system improves energy performance, reduces running costs, and includes smart metering to support BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standards – while providing flexible infrastructure for future growth and supporting wider community decarbonisation.

Catalent Pharma Solutions is a global leader in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing, producing billions of life-enhancing treatments each year across more than 40 sites worldwide. At its Swindon facility, where around 1.2 billion freeze-dried tablets are produced annually, Actemium delivered critical electrical infrastructure to support the site’s manufacturing operations.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience delivering safety‑critical automation systems for national infrastructure, Actemium has implemented a modern monitoring panel solution that provides real‑time asset insight, supports predictive maintenance, and offers an upgrade‑ready architecture – all without disrupting passenger‑moving operations.

Actemium has supported a global agricultural and construction vehicle manufacturer transform the way its vehicles are configured, validated and prepared for market – ensuring every vehicle leaves the factory digitally ready, fully activated and built to the highest quality standards.

Actemium, through its specialist automation business Kigtek, has successfully delivered the electrical and automation integration for a major tank farm expansion at Diageo’s flagship packaging and bottling facility in Fife, Scotland – further strengthening Actemium UK’s extensive food and beverage capability across leading global brands and production sites.

To support nuclear waste material retrievals at Sellafield’s Magnox Swarf Storage Silo in January 2024, the onsite Retrievals, Innovation and Optimisation Technology (RIOT) team worked with Actemium and Fortis to create and deploy a custom sonar system that safely inspected waste compartments in low-oxygen conditions.

When Yorkshire Water set out to treat storm water before it returns to the River Dearne, Actemium’s automation engineers applied their systems integration expertise to deliver a robust, intelligent solution. The project has successfully delivered the client’s vision of a natural, resilient storm storage system – improving water quality, enhancing local biodiversity, and creating a thriving habitat for wildlife.
