Sugar Creek Brewery
Sugar Creek Brewery is an example of an IBM Maximo customer using EAM , AI , and IoT to optimise quality and reduce loss . They were losing more than US $ 30,000 a month in beer spillage through the manufacturing process . By integrating the technology into the brewing process , they are able to identify issues affecting the quality of their product . Parameters such as fill time , temperature , pH , gravity , pressure , carbonation , and level are all fed to the cloud for analysis . This data can inform new processes or refine existing ones to ensure the product meets manufacturing expectations and the cost savings from the manufacturing loss is now reinvested back into the business . - Skip Snyder , Senior Partner , IBM Global Business Services
“ Poor data quality or lack of data leads to things like technicians wasting time on the wrong priorities ”

“ As the number of sensors and devices on assets grow , the volume of data tracked has expanded exponentially . It ’ s become impossible for humans alone to monitor everything . AI is now playing an important role in enterprise asset management ( EAM ) to help make sense of all that data and derive value from it because it can learn and identify trends . The technology can deepen the understanding of assets by translating data into actionable insights that can be used to drive more effective maintenance ,” says Snyder . manufacturingglobal . com 83
