Leaf AI control of brewing processes
Ambev reported a 4% reduction in plant energy consumption with AI process control
Problem
Ambev monitored brewing variables that affected product consistency and energy use. Its teams previously reviewed completed cycles and applied corrections to the next cycle.
Approach
Ambev introduced iSystems' Leaf AI into production operations to control process variables. By September 2023, more than half of its Brazilian beer production passed through at least one iSystems technology.
Results
Takeaway
AI control moved corrections into production operations. The reported production coverage included iSystems technologies beyond Leaf alone.
