CoNet is proud to share a major milestone in our longโ€‘standing partnership with Unilever Port Sunlight โ€“ Factory No. 4.

Weโ€™ve successfully completed the customer FAT for the first phase of Project Fabric Clean โ€” a crucial step in one of the siteโ€™s most ambitious automation upgrades to date.

Our collaboration with Factory No. 4 began in 2024 with the DeltaV Migration Step 1 project, marking the start of the siteโ€™s transition to PCS 7. After delivering that first phase successfully, we moved into Project Correlate in 2025, now in commissioning, which brings two new process streams and a water process into PCS 7.

Since midโ€‘2025, our team has been fully engaged in Project Fabric Clean โ€” a multiโ€‘phase effort that will ultimately add four additional process streams to the factory. Given the scale and complexity, the project was divided into four phases, and weโ€™re thrilled to have now completed the cFAT for Phase 1. This achievement represents more than six months of dedicated engineering, close collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Weโ€™re honoured to support Unilever Port Sunlight โ€“ Factory No. 4 in delivering these transformative projects, and we look forward to continuing this journey together as the next phases unfold.

A great moment captured โ€” CoNet & Unilever teams celebrating this major milestone in Amsterdam with good food, drinks, and even better company. After months of hard work on Project Fabric Clean, it was the perfect way to unwind, connect, and appreciate the people who make these achievements possible.
