Benefits at a glance:
- Monitor material variations that affect your product quality and production time
- Compare planned vs. actual production in real time
- Monitor recipe adjustments needed to maintain expected outcomes
- Improve internal communication of process deviations and troubleshooting interventions
Keeping production on track
Every brewery follows a set of recipes, but as the quality of raw materials changes, incremental adjustments in the recipe may be necessary to maintain productivity and quality. GEA InsightPartner continuously monitors Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within the process and clearly indicates deviations to the specifications. This means operation staff can, for example, discuss data-driven performance in their daily meetings and make the necessary adjustments to bring everything back on track.
GEA InsightPartner will also monitor production progress against a weekly plan. The system follows the duration of each brew to indicate the time performance and update a real-time prediction of how the week plan will conclude. This insight enables you to adjust the week plan to obtain best possible productivity from the process units.
Following KPI development in real-time
GEA InsightPartner provides information about the quality of a product while the brewing is taking place. So rather than wait for a brew to be completed before testing and then making adjustments for future brews, you can adjust the process mid-stream: for example by extending the boiling time in the wort kettle or adjusting the run-off volume of the following brew.
Learning from the past
Learning from history helps to maintain the continuity of brands, even if they are only brewed seasonally. In the past, if brewmasters detected differences in brew quality it was impossible to track back to identify the cause and so difficult to take effective action to correct the problem.
Using GEA InsightPartner, it’s now possible to compare the current operation of the plant with data from previous brews, advise immediately of any deviation and deep dive into the history of the given brew to gain insight into the necessary remedial action during brewing. This allows you to make adjustments to maintain the unique characteristics and quality of specialist brews over time.
Insight supports responsibility
GEA InsightPartner provides all this insight to any member of your team at any time, anywhere in the plant, to help them achieve the best possible brewery productivity.
