Braumat V8.0 is the latest software version built by Siemens, integrating control features, applicable to batch control applications, the object is breweries. Braumat is built on the foundation of the ISA S88-1 standard.

Overview of Braumat V8.0 software

In order to reduce human workload, replacing it with machines – data, technology revolution 4.- has brought about a process control solution designed by Siemens specifically for factories Brewing and providing total curing support for beer production. This solution can be linked with senior production management programs such as MES or ERP, allowing integration into a complete automation system for a brewery from the production process, production management. to the product packaging process.

Braumat solution has basic components including flexible hardware system and communication network structure, control software and optimized operator interface for operators, and special control modules for production problems. batch export.

New improvements in version Braumat V8.0

– New version 8.0 compatible with Simatic S7-1500 PLC system as well as mixed operation with Simatic S7-400 PLC with Simatic S7-400 controller.

– Mass production and transparency improvements with MES reporting options.

– Added many new functions to the Safety concept.

– Added Lean version for small breweries and craft brewers.

The latest version 8.0 is based on the Simatic S7-1500 PLC and has been optimized in the areas of reporting, weighing systems and security. The Simatic S7-400 PLCs that have been installed old can still be used, even in the mixed operation between the two PLCs above. Existing Braumat settings can be expanded or upgraded with the new Simatic S7-1500 controller. Consequently, the production downtime caused by new installations is significantly reduced.

To enhance the reporting options, a batch report with a basic choice of process parameters has been integrated. Users can now create reports with the help of MS Excel. Braumat V8.0 now also connects to an already established PM-Quality option. This means that the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and MIS (Management Information System) functions are now available to calculate KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) such as factory availability.

In the new version, storage location management is integrated with dosing management in the formulation system, allowing for efficient and flexible automation of mixing processes. The trick is automatically adjusted according to the availability of the storage location and the quantity specifications of the batches to be produced. Fully automated, precise, self-optimized weighing operations with integrated Siwarex weighing system. Braumat V8.0 process control system continuously checks formulations and quantities for individual production processes, thereby reducing malt, hops overdose … A combination of modulators password-protected Simatic S7-1500 controller, encrypted communication on the terminal bus as well as extended user management and company ID registration via RFID card reader increasing security in production chain.

Barett Smart Factory chooses the most advanced Braumat V8.0 software

Revolution 4.0 brought a huge explosion in almost different fields, requiring faster and higher quality production cycles. The production line operates under the control of the Production Operating System for the production area: Braumat V8.0 with the aim of releasing human labor, improving and equalizing product quality.

Let’s welcome the 4.0 Barett automation factory in the near future
