A significant portion of industrial automatic control is powered by PID controllers. However there is little published literature on the details and quantity of controller types used in industry. Food and beverage represents an important segment of manufacturing in Australia. This paper presents a review of the automatic/regulatory control topology in one of Australia's largest breweries. Details of the site's 505 PID loops as well as the industrial networked control systems are included. As there is very little published material of this type it makes an important contribution to the existing literature. It is intended that this material can assist further research by providing evidence-based information on the quantity of controller types used in this segment of industry and details on some of the current issues and opportunities.

“…This would include the physical equipment as well as the control philosophy. Each cycle should be tuned to ensure that it consumes the minimal amount of detergent and water that are required to perform the task (Lees et al (2009)). Another important consideration is to ensure that only the minimum number of CIP cycles are used.…”

“…However, it must be considered that the energy use, and relative carbon footprint, can undergo important variations according raw materials, size, processing methods, logistics, etc. Generally speaking technologies have already been implemented within almost all the crucial steps, including mashing, fermentation, even for real-time management to optimize cleaning operations in the brewery [8] or to evaluate the product quality through rapid test based on advanced computer vision and image analysis techniques [9,10].…”

The beer production chain includes some crucial steps regarding processing, delivery, service, and consumption that can benefit from the implementation of IoT (Internet of Things) based technologies. Large breweries implemented the use of sensors and digitization before smaller ones among which are craft breweries. Internet of Beer (IoB) technologies are becoming accessible to mid and small sized brewing companies. Therefore, the objective of this work is to review mainly low-cost IoB smart technologies that can be implemented from the mash to the final product and its service, to improve the brewing production, control, delivery, and final quality increasing profitability. The reviewed applications were retrieved both from the scientific databases and from the web. The work is structured in three macro areas such as beer processing, product logistics and traceability, and service. The results show a future trend characterized by a very fast increase in the use of IoB (also open source) systems to drive efficiency, productivity, quality, and safety. This will be done by real-time monitoring and a data-driven decision support system (DSS). Crucial aspects needing further investigation are data ownership and data standardization. The access price of IoB devices and software is destined for a significant decrease while their diversification on the market will grow leading to a massive future implementation within all the production levels.
