As an expert in digital transformation in the field of global energy management and automation, Schneider Electric relies on green intelligent manufacturing solutions to help winemakers complete the comprehensive construction from automation to information technology, enabling customers to build smart factories and realize smart brewing. Focusing on the practical challenges of digital transformation in the wine industry, Schneider Electric provides consulting services and hardware and software solutions covering the full life cycle of design, construction, operation and maintenance to help companies improve production and energy efficiency, ensure food safety and quality, and reduce overall costs. It brings three core values of technological advancement, process standardization, transparency and traceability to the industry.

Advanced technology: With Schneider Electric’s advanced digital solutions, winemakers can efficiently integrate and manage the entire production process, reducing unplanned downtime while realizing rapid line adjustment and reducing production energy consumption, achieving cost savings and efficiency gains. Among them,

Asset information management platform AVEVA AIM can help winemakers build a digital delivery platform for engineering projects during the design and construction stages, realizing all functions from design tool export to import platform to complete digital delivery, and laying the foundation for the construction of digital twin winemaking plants by establishing a 3D visual virtual factory management platform.
EcoStruxure™️ PMA (Predictive Maintenance Advisor) is based on big data +AI technology to continuously predict and diagnose all types of failure of all basic components in complex brewing environments, reducing the number of unanticipated equipment outages. Enable inspection personnel by increasing equipment utilization and reducing maintenance costs.

The EMS energy management system solution can establish an energy KPI grading system according to the process characteristics of the brewing industry, and achieve energy consumption data analysis at the production line level and equipment level, helping enterprises to improve energy management efficiency and reduce energy consumption in factory production. According to statistics, after the implementation of EMS energy management system solutions, the overall energy consumption of enterprises can be reduced by 5% on average, of which the highest consumption reduction even exceeds 30%.

Process standardization: Production process standardization is closely related to product quality standardization. Schneider Electric solutions can be tailored to the standardized needs of different enterprises to create accurate control of the entire brewing process, providing a strong guarantee for the quality of the final delivery of products. Among them,

AVEVA APC advanced process control system through the aggregation model prediction, optimization control, data analysis, safety design and other advantages, can create “expert” precision control in the five key process links of brewing, brewing, distillation, storage and packaging, to help enterprises achieve a comprehensive upgrade of the brewing process level.
The machine learning algorithm control system adopts the algorithm control model instead of the original manual control or set value control, which can find the global optimal solution under the constraints of rules by integrating the overall indicators such as quality, cost and efficiency, and help enterprises to effectively improve production efficiency at a lower cost. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring the standardization of brewing process and product quality, Minimize the impact of human factors.Transparent traceability: With end-to-end and supply chain data traceability, Schneider Electric can help winemakers create transparent management of the entire production process to ensure product quality and safety and production compliance. Among them,

MOM manufacturing execution system takes brewing production as the main line, and through the cooperation of process, production, inventory, quality, equipment, energy and other businesses, it can achieve the whole process management from material preparation, feeding and weighing, formula management to quality tracking and performance analysis, and help brewing enterprises achieve end-to-end continuous and transparent tracking management.
ProLeiT Plant iT process control system is a complete solution including PCS process control system, MES system, EMS energy management system and LMS line management system. It can integrate the whole process of brewing production from pre-treatment, packaging to storage horizontally, and vertically integrate from operation, execution to brewing production control in the workshop. To achieve product quality two-way traceability; Relying on its central database, combined with sequence control, Batch control, audit trail, electronic signature and other functions, it can efficiently integrate order, recipe and batch management, ensure that historical events and data are fully transparent and traceable, and ensure production safety and compliance.
APS advanced planning and scheduling system can automatically implement production optimization according to the current production capacity of the distillery, develop the most reasonable production plan, can quickly and accurately predict the delivery time in the case of limited production capacity, through synchronous feedback to the production and supply department, to achieve the coordination of production, supply and marketing; By reading the completion feedback of MOM and other systems, it can also combine the actual production situation, production plan and actual material requirements to help the distiller achieve lean production.In addition, Schneider Electric has built consultant-led services covering the full life cycle from planning to implementation. Based on the comprehensive evaluation and planning of the brewing enterprise, Schneider Electric will also start from the four levels of decision-making, management and operation, production line construction and production control of the brewing plant. Provide services including top-level planning, supply chain consulting, lean consulting, digital plant planning, energy management consulting and integrated production scheduling, integrated operations management, including group-level planning, factory-level intelligent manufacturing planning and lighthouse plant planning.

Join hands with wine enterprises to accelerate the exploration of digital practice

With the deepening of digital transformation in the brewing industry, many leading enterprises have achieved comprehensive upgrading of production efficiency and management level with the help of Schneider Electric and relying on diversified green intelligent manufacturing solutions.

Taking a facory of a world-renowned beer brand as an example, it undertakes nearly 20% of its global supply, so ensuring the stability of key equipment and production of the factory has become a top priority. The predictive maintenance solution tailored by Schneider Electric can detect anomalies in the early or potential stage of equipment failure in advance and issue fault warning. By eliminating the potential risks of system operation and building the equipment warning model, the reliability and overall operation efficiency of the equipment are improved, and the continuous, stable and efficient production of the plant is protected.
