brewmaxx is a process control system for the brewing industry. The various process steps of a brewery can be automated, controlled and monitored via the software components of the brewmaxx range.
Due to its scalability, brewmaxx is suited to applications ranging from single station to multi-server systems. It is used in:
The main fields of application include the automation of breweries (see brewery) and/or fermenting and storage cellars. Also a complete automation of all the production areas of a brewery (e.g. at Warsteiner Beer and Brewery) - from raw material intake to filling - can be realised with the brewmaxx process control systems. The “small” control system, brewmaxx compact, has been available for individual production areas, e.g. ancillary plants, water treatment, filter or CO2 plants as well as small and medium-sized breweries, since the middle of 2010.
The basic systems and modules of brewmaxx are generally used for the automation of new plants and for migration projects. Existing, outdated control systems with a structured software design can be migrated to brewmaxx via conversion tools.
brewmaxx is used as teaching system for process control technology for breweries at the Technical University Munich (TUM). Various university projects use brewmaxx as process controlling system.
The brewmaxx range is based on an integrated client-server model and basically uses standard Microsoft software. The architecture has a modular design. Depending on the requirements, the modules can be used individually or in combination for process control, Data acquisition (PDA), process management, production management and ERP level integration (see Enterprise resource planning).
brewmaxx has been designed as a multi-lingual system. At application level, it offers a computer-dependent language changeover option for the user interface and can be configured in several languages. Communication takes place via the Ethernet connections TCP/IP and OPC.
