The truth that brewmasters, brewery owners, and production managers know is this: manual pasteurization monitoring isn’t sexy, it isn’t easy, and it isn’t simple. Knowing this, of course, doesn’t make this task any less essential. The trouble is that there’s incredible complexity involved in performing pasteurization monitoring by hand, and with complexity comes an exponential number of potential failure points and hassles. Whether it’s the multiplicity of challenges related to water bath calibration, system downtime, or even the front-end challenges of adoption, the results are the same: time and money down the drain. And that’s why many key brewery stakeholders are simplifying their pasteurization process monitoring with precision brewing tools.
Successfully Scaling in the Age of Industry 4.0
Many brewers continue to operate with legacy tunnel pasteurizers that require irregular manual measurements to monitor the process. But these conventional pasteurization methods are becoming increasingly obsolete and preventing breweries from successfully scaling — especially in the age of Industry 4.0 when digital adoption is rapidly becoming table stakes for successfully scaling. By leveraging monitoring software powered by AI, machine learning, precision sensor technology, predictive analytics, and wireless protocols, breweries are realizing a measurable increase in ROI and gaining an edge over their competition.
Obstacles to Operational Efficiency
Compared to automated pasteurization systems, legacy systems inject a host of inefficiencies into breweries’ workflows. Legacy systems are much more challenging to adopt, deploy, and maintain, and they also present production and time constraints that preclude real-time PU monitoring. The consequences of this limitation bleed into operations as a whole, extending well beyond batch inconsistencies, quality assurance issues, and compliance concerns. Every disruption to workflow increases operational inefficiency — time lost to revenue-generating activities and a team’s confidence in their product.
For these reasons, breweries of all sizes are investing in intuitive tools that dramatically boost operational efficiencies, maximize cost savings, and help them successfully scale. Leveraging monitoring software powered by AI, machine learning, precision sensor technology, predictive analytics, and wireless protocols, breweries are realizing a measurable increase in ROI and gaining an edge over their competition.
