Equipment maintenance and predictive analytics

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

1. 1

   Trigger

   Equipment sensor data collected

   IoT sensors on fermentation tanks, pumps, and cooling systems transmit real-time performance data including temperature, pressure, vibration, and flow rates. Data is automatically ingested into the brewery's monitoring system.
