Deep Creek Brewery Embraces Industry 4.0: Introducing the future of Brewing
Are you tired of drinking beer that tastes like it was brewed by a caveman with a stick and a gumboot? Well, fear not, because the future of brewing has arrived, and it's at Deep Creek Brewery.
With their recent upgrade to advanced automation systems, Deep Creek Brewery has taken their beer-making process to new heights.
The challenge was simple:
Deep Creek wanted to increase their production capacity and implement a complete automation and control solution for their growing manufacturing plant. But, as we all know, the simplest things are often the most complex. That's where Automate-X stepped in with their expertise to provide a solution that streamlines processes, makes data-driven decisions, and consistently produces high-quality beer.
The tech behind the upgrade is impressive, to say the least. From integrating Beckhoff IPC and HMI with integrated TwinSAFE safety to monitoring critical parameters like flow and temperature with IFM sensors, Deep Creek Brewery has it all. And, in true Industry 4.0 fashion, they've made remote access possible with the integration of the Ixon Router so that they can monitor the brewing process from anywhere, anytime.
But it's not just about the technology. Safety was a top priority, and Automate-X achieved this with new safety fencing and Pilz request-to-enter door locks. And, because consistency is key when it comes to beer, the brewery ERP software was integrated to ensure that every batch is brewed to the same high standard, every time. Finally, SMC pneumatics were used to control the valves and actuators, providing precise and reliable control of the brewing process.
The result? Increased efficiency, consistent quality, and a safer working environment for the operators. And, of course, the most important part – delicious beer. Deep Creek Brewery is proud to embrace Industry 4.0 technology and stay ahead of the curve in the fourth industrial revolution. Investing in advanced technology ensures that their brewery remains competitive, efficient, and consistently delivers high-quality beer to its customers.
