Fermentation tanks are essential equipment in the beer production process, playing a critical role in fermentation. With the advancement of industrial IoT and communication technologies, sensor-based data acquisition and remote monitoring are increasingly being applied to the beer fermentation process. This ensures timely and precise control of temperature and pressure during fermentation, thereby safeguarding the taste and flavor of the beer.

The data acquisition and remote monitoring system for fermentation tanks typically consists of three main components: sensors, data acquisition gateways, and a monitoring platform. Built on automatic monitoring and alerting for parameters such as temperature and pressure, the system enables remote management and control of fermentation tanks. Temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and other field devices installed in the tanks are connected to the WideIOT data acquisition gateway. The gateway collects real-time data on temperature, pressure, liquid level, and other parameters, and transmits it to a cloud platform or local host computer for monitoring, alarming, and control purposes. This approach enhances management efficiency and helps avoid resource waste. By collecting and monitoring key process parameters such as liquid level, temperature, and pressure, managers can readily check equipment operating status and production progress anytime via mobile phones, computers, or touchscreens. In the event of abnormal conditions inside the tank, the system automatically sends alerts through multiple channels, including WeChat, SMS, and email, to notify management personnel. Additionally, the system can integrate with cameras to stream live on-site video feeds in real time, enabling managers to take prompt corrective actions and prevent major production accidents and financial losses.

By establishing digital management capabilities through this data acquisition and remote monitoring system, breweries can effectively oversee the entire production process. Real-time data trends allow for precise and timely interventions, which helps improve both product yield and quality. At the same time, the system reduces manual workload, improves working conditions, and elevates the overall level of fermentation process control and production management.
