Toward sustainable malt production with a well-thought-out modernization plan.
New malts and small order quantities inevitably call for a rethinking of malt production. Automation—or the modernization of your control and visualization systems—plays a key role in increasing the profitability of your malthouse and designing the process to be both efficient and precise. Topics such as energy recovery and batch traceability are integral parts of our automation solution, which we develop specifically for your facilities and processes.
Energy management
The greatest potential for savings lies in the germination tray.
Less cooling power generally also means lower energy consumption and, consequently, cost savings, since the dehumidifiers are operated over a very long period of time.
MES Systems
State-of-the-art MES systems as game-changers in the malthouse.
Thanks to our custom-tailored MES system, you can now utilize your processes even more effectively and plan your resources even better.
Whenever possible and practical, we build on your existing automation system. This saves time and changeover costs!
Quality assurance
Our automation provides transparency and creates optimal conditions.
Materials management
By taking laboratory analyses and raw material properties into account, you gain valuable insights to inform your decisions—from silo management to receiving and shipping.
Soaking process
Automated systems monitor and control the germination process. Sensors continuously measure parameters such as temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels and automatically adjust them.
Malt kilning
The use of automation in the malt drying process allows for precise control of temperature, airflow, and moisture levels to ensure uniform and energy-efficient drying.
Germs control
Special sensors monitor the progress of germination, such as the development of desired enzymes and flavor compounds.
Real-time production data collection
Sensors continuously record all relevant process parameters. This makes it possible to detect trends early, identify bottlenecks, and further improve the production process.
Batch traceability
Our automation system handles the required documentation of supplier data, laboratory data, and process data to ensure quality across all batches.
We know our craft.
We support you throughout the entire project lifecycle with highly qualified, industry-experienced points of contact.
Procedure
As if it were our own production line.
It all begins with a clear understanding of the workflows and connections in your malthouse—from intake to loadout.
