Brazil. Produce a chopp pilsen, pure malt, in an artisanal way and with high quality. This is the goal of Ralf Beer, which constantly seeks to invest in the automation of its production and in total temperature control to ensure the excellence of its final product.
The brewery was founded in 2002 and has for years with sitrad, supervision software developed by Full Gauge Controls, to obtain the necessary technology for this process.
For Ralf Beer, remote monitoring is another way to oversee the crafting of what will reach his customers' glasses. For the brand's commercial manager, Steven Winter, being able to access information about the performance of each tank, both at the top and bottom of the equipment, is extremely important.
In this way, the company's brewer, who is the one who verifies the data constantly collected by Sitrad, can adjust the parameters remotely and safely, whenever necessary. There are 32 MT-543E plus controllers (two in each tank), connected to the system, among other products of the brand used.
The system also allows you to store data and generate custom reports and graphs, among other functions. On the other hand, whenever a parameter is outside the previously established, the tool sends a notice, which in this case the technical area receives by e-mail. "Once, our team was not managing to cool all the chopp and we received the alarm in time to reverse the situation, without causing damage to our product," he says. According to Winter, when something like this happens, it is usually during the weekends, so the software alerts become even more important, since they allow the chopp to leave the factory always with the same quality and flavor characteristic of the brand.
