Why Automate? Automation Control Systems
n Better control and yield n More consistent product quality n Reduced energy usage n Reduced batch time by increasing equipment utilization w Schedule batches based on sales and equipment availability
n Reduce labor costs n Monitor and record variable costs n Better data collection and reporting w w w w w
Seamlessly report production data to Government agencies Trending Batch-to-batch comparisons Accurate material tracking and batch tracing Manually collected data can be expensive and inaccurate
n Remote control and information available w Interface brewery with the web to provide data when out of the office. 4

Key automation justifications Automation Control Systems
n Brewhouse Automation w Expands the flexibility of your process to help you create new recipes, modify existing recipes and try new products w Optimizes the operation of your brewhouse to produce more brews in a day
n Fermentation Control w More Consistent batches with temperature Profiles set automatically. w No need to adjust temperatures during the off hours w Trend data analysis

CIP Systems overview Automation Control Systems
n Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) are systems designed for automatic cleaning and disinfecting without having to disassemble major portions of the process n Automatic CIP systems must include the proper hardware that can be cleaned in place without disassembly and must also provide process separation guarantees to ensure that the brewing process and the CIP solutions do not mix. n A properly engineered automated CIP system will allow cleaning to be carried out in one piece of equipment when the other processes are still in production using high end measuring and control components. n The fully automatic CIP system optimizes the equipment utilization while you are able to adhere to the proper sanitation requirements and documentation of the results. 16

Cleaning in Place (CIP) Automation Control Systems
A well designed CIP control system can be expanded to add programs as equipment is added – without additional investment. Different CIP-programs for different equipment § § § § §

MBAA District NW Fall Meeting October 8th & 9th, 2010
Basic CIP Automation System Automation Control Systems
§ Dedicated to CIP System § Controlled by a stand alone PLC/HMI Panel that requires the brewer to operate the production equipment manually to ensure proper sanitation. § Oftentimes these systems will require that the brewery be shut down during sanitation as it is too difficult to ensure that the CIP and the Process will not mix. § Usually without feedback to the rest of the brewery. § You can connect them to the plant system in the future

MBAA District NW Fall Meeting October 8th & 9th, 2010
Fully Integrated CIP Systems Automation Control Systems
n Plant Integrated systems: § One Automation System for your production and CIP needs. The Brewer can schedule CIP Batches as well as production batches on the same system. § Custom developed to meet your specific breweries needs. § Can trace what has and what has not been cleaned and you can schedule CIP recipes for pieces of equipment (such as a Mash Cooker) or whole production lines (such as the entire brewery). § Your brewery automation system can actually hold up batches until the sanitation is guaranteed and documented.

n Glycol and Fermentation Temperature w A typical Craft brewer uses less expensive ON/OFF final control elements therefore you must use a control algorithm optimized for this type of control. w A Profile is very useful as it does not require the brewer to constantly maintain and control the setpoints.

Hints to make your automation a success Automation Control Systems
n Automate what you can afford today but do not lose sight of your vision in the future n Buy a system that is scalable and meets your needs today and can grown with you in the future n Start simple, understand that, move on to more complex problems.
