We were able to carry out different tests in a 100% real environment until we were able to improve the programming of the measurement algorithms and adjust the configuration to obtain the optimal results.
The most immediate was to have a global vision of the precise status of all the beer tank installations, since from the moment the monitoring solution was installed, we could access the real status of the system, controlling temperature, pressure and consumption permanently.
Product losses have been avoided because, in addition to guaranteeing the quality of the beer by controlling temperature and pressure parameters, we have notified of incidents such as power cuts, which has resulted in significant savings in product.
First, we designed a specific PCB for this monitoring ecuador lists device, as it had different characteristics to those made to date. Initially, it had 3 sensors connected, one for temperature, one for pressure and a flow meter that was originally ultrasonic, so that it would not be in direct contact with the beer. The final solution had pulse flow meters suitable for the food sector, which were much more precise.
Any quantifiable improvement?
Just by controlling the power cuts, which were 137 in total in the 8 breweries where we set up the pilot for 6 months, we avoided the loss of approximately 10 250-litre beer tanks, since only those cases where the cut was prolonged in time and the premises were closed were taken into account.
