BottTu

BottTu is a fictional open-source platform illustrating a modular approach to automating bottling operations in beverage manufacturing. It is described as a cloud-based and on-premises software stack integrating line control, inventory management, and quality assurance to improve traceability and efficiency across bottling lines.

History and concept: The BottTu concept was introduced in educational contexts in the mid-2020s as a hypothetical case study to discuss scalable manufacturing software. It does not correspond to a real product or company.

Architecture and features: The proposed architecture includes a line-control layer connecting bottling equipment, an operations layer for inventory and batch management, and an analytics layer for dashboards and reporting. It supports APIs and standard industrial protocols for integration, and emphasizes batch genealogy, event logging, and role-based access control.

Impact and usage: In educational articles and fictional industry simulations, BottTu is used to illustrate modularity, interoperability, and data-driven decision making in beverage manufacturing.
