Brewing & Distilling
Brewing & Distilling Industry
To meet today’s ever-changing consumer demands, the brewing and distilling industry must quickly be able to change direction and innovate while working to increase operational efficiency. Customers want to experience different types of flavors – anywhere from seltzers to fermented lagers to ales with either a sweet malt taste or a heavily hopped IPA. Flexible systems and agile control processes are key requirements to producing the best batch brewing recipes for your customers, as well as reducing product costs, managing raw materials for the best yields and getting product to market on time.
Whether you have a large process control system or need to automate part of your process, MAVERICK Technologies has the expertise to cover each end of the brewing and distilling spectrum. We can help you expand and optimize your system processes to achieve operational excellence and meet customized consumer requirements.
The MAVERICK Approach
At MAVERICK, we know what it takes to upgrade or expand small or large process control systems – from better reporting systems to alarming to improved human-machine interface (HMI) graphics that enable operators to better manage their processes – all while minimizing energy usage and costs per brew or batch.
We pay attention to your specific business objectives, goals and strategies and take a customized approach, leaving the door open for future technological requirements or add-ons. Depending on your requirements, we can custom build or design open systems so you can quickly adapt to customer demands and have the flexibility to easily change recipes or change process steps down the road. Our experts follow best practices to ensure all ISA-88 batch standards guidelines, FDA regulatory compliance and proper safety protocols and policies are met.
MAVERICK Can Help:
- Recommend automation solutions tailored to your needs, selecting the appropriate software and hardware platforms and functionality options
- Identify and implement a recipe management system that fits your operation, whether you need simplistic PLC-based parameter storage or ISA-88 relational database storage with ingredient quantities and sequence of operation as part of the recipe
- Ensure FDA compliance by utilizing ingredient traceability, lot tracking and batch reporting for comprehensive product tracking in brewing and distilling production
- Refine your operations to reduce waste
- Optimize your processes to improve yield/throughput
- Make your data and electronic batch reports more accessible by fully integrating your enterprise resource planning (ERP) or manufacturing execution system (MES) and other systems
We maintain an open architecture as we work, allowing you to plan for future version upgrades and vendor changes at minimal cost.
