Why automate? Is your brewery keeping up with demand? Are you looking to produce more consistent, quality beer? Planning is key for success. Breweries are challenged to maintain quality and flexibility of beer while reducing cost at the same time. Rockwell Automation will address key challenges that brewers face and the value that automation can bring to your brewery. This seminar will review a strategy for deploying automation that enables artistry and consistency to coexist. It will review what brewers need to think about in terms of buying equipment with automated controls for their initial installation as well as future expansions. We will dive into the advantages of implementing an integrated system and how you can leverage big data. In addition, we will touch on the initial steps breweries can take to begin their automation journey and the role that both OEMs and integrators play in the automation process.
