In our particular case, the client had been testing telemetry systems for more than 10 years, and although they had implemented some systems such as one that used load cells, they were complex, inefficient and expensive.
We managed to design and develop a new system in 3 months with very high measurement accuracy (97% in beer flow measurement) and 99% (in temperature and pressure measurements), and at a very reasonable cost, so much so that we closed a price agreement to install the system in the 1,348 breweries they had in Spain at the time we finished developing the solution.
Main contribution of IoT?
One of the most important is efficiency. That is just one of the advantages, another very clear one is the reduction of costs by avoiding product losses on the one el salvador leads hand, and on the other, better managing delivery logistics, something that we can optimize by knowing at all times the stock of product that we have in each of the end customers.
Ultimately, having information on the status of the tanks allows us to respond quickly to any incident and make decisions, while also enabling precise traceability of the beer throughout the entire supply chain.
IoT is greatly improving inventory, asset management, and stock control and replenishment.
The deployment of IoT-based technologies also helps us implement paperless improvement solutions that, among other things, allow us to:
Execute repetitive processes automatically (automated workflow).
Enable real-time visibility of equipment status, controlling product quality and, in many cases, avoiding machine breakdowns.
Collect and record documentation electronically, avoiding possible human errors.
Record and store a large amount of data electronically that will allow us to perform all kinds of analysis through Big Data.
