Today, as the wave of intelligence sweeps the manufacturing industry, Tiantai has witnessed the transformation and upgrading of countless breweries from traditional brewing to smart factories. When the mash tun is connected to the PLC control system and the fermenter is equipped with an online monitoring probe, an unavoidable industry proposition emerges: the more advanced the automation equipment, the easier it is for brewers to be “marginalized.”? Tiantai uses years of experience in the industry to answer true brewing master will always be the patron saint of craft beer.
In the central control room of a modern brewery, the working interface of brewers has evolved from a wrench valve to a digital dashboard. But behind the seemingly simple screen operation is the precise perception of material flow: Is the temperature curve fluctuation in the saccharification stage reasonable? How do you control the critical point of the fermenter pressure change? This requires the operator to be familiar with the process logic behind each parameter of the PLC system.
When Tiantai deployed an intelligent saccharification system for a craft brewery, it was found that the operator, Master Wang, independently optimized the step-by-step heating program by analyzing historical data, which increased the saccharification leaching rate by 1.2%. This confirms our view that excellent brewers can transform automation systems into a test field for brewing process innovation.
Real brewers in breweries know how to “talk” to equipment. When the CIP cleaning system alarms frequently, the first thing to do is not to find a skilled worker to report the problem, but to trace the PLC program to find and solve the problem. This dual understanding of hardware structure and software logic is the core competitiveness of modern brewers.
As a leader in the intelligent manufacturing of beer equipment, Shandong Tiantai has always believed that automation is not a machine that replaces brewers’ ingenuity but a carrier that can better inherit the beer brewing process. When brewers in breweries change from direct contact with equipment to monitoring data, their brewing of craft beer is reflected in one precise process parameter after another.
Whether it is the project requirements of brewery engineering construction or the complete equipment configuration of bars or breweries, Tiantai’s team of engineers can provide you with the best beer brewing solutions. Visit www.craftbreweryequipment.com to get exclusive solutions.
