Overview
A brewery needed seamless integration of a new wort cooling system into its existing PLC and SCADA infrastructure to improve cooling efficiency and fermentation consistency.
Challenge
The existing control system was not configured to handle the new cooling equipment, leading to coordination issues between temperature control, flow management, and process timing. This created inconsistencies in wort temperature before fermentation.
Work
We modified the PLC logic to integrate the wort cooling system into the existing process sequence. SCADA screens were updated for real-time monitoring and operator control. Instrumentation and communication signals were configured to ensure accurate temperature feedback and coordinated system response.
Result
The integration delivered precise wort temperature control, improved cooling efficiency, and smoother process transitions into fermentation. Operators gained full visibility and control, resulting in more consistent brewing outcomes.
