This year, we will be attending the Automation and Modernisation of Breweries conference, which focuses on the latest technologies and innovations in beer production management. From optimising energy consumption to increasing production efficiency, digitisation, automation and efficient energy management are playing an increasingly important role in the brewing industry.
At the conference, we will share our experience of implementing energy management (EMOS) in breweries, showing how energy losses can be minimized, processes optimized and operating costs reduced. If you are interested in how technology can help breweries increase efficiency and sustainability of production, we would be happy to meet with you to discuss specific solutions.
When: May 22, 2025
Where: Akciový pivovar Dalešice
Energy consumption is a significant cost factor in brewery operations. Up to 70% of total energy use is concentrated in cooling, compressed air systems, bottling lines, and other key technologies. These areas hold enormous potential for savings—but only if consumption is properly measured, analyzed, and actively managed.
This is exactly what our colleagues František Adamec and Radek Fiala will address in their presentation, drawing from real-life brewery projects.
The session will include a practical step-by-step guide to energy optimization in breweries. We’ll walk through typical high-consumption areas and present specific strategies for controlling them more efficiently to reduce costs and improve operational performance.
What the presentation will cover:
- Methods for gaining insight into energy use—even in facilities without detailed measurement systems—and why sub-metering is essential.
- Overview of major energy-consuming processes in breweries and their savings potential.
- Real-world examples from brewery operations that revealed excessive waste, performance anomalies, or misconfigured equipment.
- How to apply data analytics and scenario simulation to evaluate the ROI of energy-saving measures and guide investment decisions.
- Options for automating the control of energy consumption, production systems, and storage technologies.
- The role of autonomous energy management in creating resilient, self-sufficient operations—including microgrid control and renewable energy integration.
This session is intended for anyone responsible for production, maintenance, energy management, or strategic planning in a brewery. Our goal is to demonstrate that efficiency and sustainability can go hand in hand with consistent product quality—not at its expense.
