Beer and Beer Mixed Drinks

Brewhouse

The centrepiece of a brewery, whether large or small, is the brewhouse. It will usually have been extended in the course of its existence, various process units will have been added and new technologies integrated.

The brewhouses automated by autec are under the control of the supervisory system. Modern technologies such as recipe control, malt management, lautering management or a data logging and analysis system provide additional optimisation potential.

Fermentation and Storage Cellar

Due to the various tasks to be carried out in the fermentation and storage cellar, high demands are placed on the supervisory control system. A variety of beer types are managed, production and cleaning are carried out at the same time. Manual intervention is possible. This is why the system must provide the utmost reliability and safety.
With its automatic fermentation control, tank and pipe status management functions, its recipe-controlled production and CIP programs and a subordinate interlocking level the autec supervisory control system ensures maximum safety.

Beer Mixed Drinks

In many modern breweries, production areas for a variety of beer mixed drinks have become part of the picture.

Other indispensable areas are: filtration, yeast cellar, flash pasteuriser control, CIP system, concentrate storage tanks and, of course, filling lines. All of these areas need special know-how, which also applies to water treatment, refrigeration and utilities. Our supervisory control system has been developed especially for these sensitive areas and will continually be improved.

Milk and candy

Milk is versatile! The hygienic requirements placed on the process equipment and the supervisory control system are high. It is the taste of the products which is crucial for the sales success.

Milk is valuable. Whether it is separated into its components, which happens during casein production, or is standardised and then further processed – the central task always is the integration of production units into an overall system.

And a vast variety of dairy products is available. Hundreds of production recipes need to be managed. Modifications may only be carried out by authorised persons; older versions of recipes must be archived so that they can be accessed any time.

And what’s more: fresh milk is required every day – production must therefore never stop. Supervisory control system and control system must be upgraded, configured and extended during ongoing production.
The supervisory control system incorporates the man-machine interface. Visualisation features and data analysis programs are used to supply information to the operators and the management and to higher-level systems.
Sequence programs which accurately maintain the manufacturing parameters are started in the control system.
The primary goal is to achieve a consistently superior quality.

Fruits and Beverages

Water is the most important food on earth. We use it to produce beverages like lemonade, fruit juice drinks, ice tea, energy drinks, isotonic sports drinks or we drink it as mineral or table water. The raw product and the ingredients must be of high, uniform quality.

The supervisory control system and all control components ensure that the ingredients are accurately blended and that the product is correctly processed and filled. Here, as anywhere in food production plants, cleaning of the plant is a critical factor. This is why data relating to product types and output quantities are stored, managed and analysed.

Automation of Non-Food Lines

autec has proven to be a reliable partner for all industry sectors and can provide references regarding chemicals, power supply, safety systems, refrigeration equipment, conveying equipment and automation of assembly lines.
