Brewery Increases Capacity by 50 Percent
Implementation of Virtualized Process Automation System to Meet Demand
Sleeman Breweries, the third largest brewer in Canada, had to increase production capacity to meet the growth in consumer demand. Their other challenge was to avoid the high expense of building a new greenfield facility. With support from McRae Integration, Sleeman Breweries implemented a virtualized process automation system that is based on the PlantPAx® DCS with Meridian BrewSoft software. Within two weeks, the brewer increased production capacity by 50 percent.
