Making beer manufacture more flexible and more efficient thanks to the Digital Enterprise
Digitalization makes it easier to adapt quickly to new market situations
Consumers alert to trends rather than traditional beer drinkers: breweries have to adapt to a changing market that is also being served by an increasing number of new providers. To survive and succeed, breweries need to expand their portfolios both cost-efficiently and in line with the highest quality standards. Digitalization with the Digital Enterprise solution portfolio plays a key role in this process. It gives them the tools to be able to respond quickly, flexibly and cost-efficiently to current market demands, with no loss of quality. Digitalization makes the flood of data in breweries transparent and easy to follow: from stock receipt to shipping, from the brewing vat to management, and from product development to the glass.
Greater performance and transparency in the brewing and beverage industry
The BRAUMAT® V8.0 process control system ensures high transparency, improved flexibility and optimum quality through the effective management of recipe-controlled processes.
Clear batch reports are succeed quickly with the integration of the batch log and the simplified configuration of the process parameters. In addition, the user can create additional reports with the help of MS-Excel. Furthermore, BRAUMAT V8.0 can now also be connected to the established PM-Quality option and thus offers further reporting options.
At the control level, version 8 supports the new SIMATIC S7-1500 as well as the well-known SIMATIC S7-400 controller. Significantly expanded functions in the areas of reporting, weighing technology and cyber security are further highlights of the BRAUMAT V8.0.
The new ordering options with the free availability via Industry Mall and as free trial download simplify the ordering process.
The BRAUMAT V8 is also available in the Lean Edition in addition to the standard version and thus meets the specific requirements of small breweries and craft brewers.
Your benefits at a glance:
The comprehensive Digital Twin in detail
The holistic approach of the Digital Enterprise for creating Digital Twins offers tangible benefits: You can substantially reduce the number of prototypes you need, predict the performance of the production unit and the products themselves, and ensure you produce what your customers expect.
The digital twin is the precise virtual model of a product or a production plant. It displays their development throughout the entire lifecycle and allows operators to predict behavior, optimizing performance, and implement insights from previous design and production experiences.
Our comprehensive concept of the digital twin consists of three forms: the digital twin of the product, the digital twin of production, and the digital twin of the performance of both product and production. Thanks to our comprehensive domain expertise and optimized tools, Siemens is the only company that offers this holistic approach.
There is tremendous value gained from performing "what if" scenarios and predicting future performance with the digital twin. The ultimate goal of the digital twin is in the closed-loop connection between the virtual world of product development and production planning with the physical world of production system and product performance. Through this connection actionable insight is gained from the physical world for informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of products and production operations.
