Control System

Name: Control System
Brand: METO

Intelligent Control Systems Built for Process Stability

A centralized control platform designed to manage, monitor, and optimize every critical stage of your brewing or beverage production process—from brewhouse to fermentation, cooling, CIP, and packaging.

One System. Total Process Visibility.

Our control systems act as the “brain” of your production line, intelligently coordinating equipment operation, temperature profiles, process timing, and safety logic across the entire system. By synchronizing brewhouse, fermentation, cooling, CIP, and packaging processes, the system ensures consistent product quality, reduces reliance on manual intervention, minimizes operational errors, and delivers stable, predictable production output batch after batch.

Key Control Scope

Brewhouse & mash process
Fermentation & conditioning
Glycol cooling system
CIP cleaning cycles
Packaging line coordination

Centralized Process Control

Precise Temperature & Timing

Built-in Safety & Stability

Control Architecture Options

Our control architecture is designed to adapt to different production scales and automation requirements. From semi-automatic systems for craft operations to fully automated PLC-based architectures for large-scale plants, each solution is engineered for stable communication, flexible expansion, and long-term reliability. The modular design allows seamless integration with brewhouse, fermentation, cooling, CIP, and packaging systems while supporting future upgrades and process optimization

Automatic Control System

Designed for medium to large-scale breweries and beverage plants requiring high repeatability and reduced manual intervention.

Core Components of the Control System

Industrial-grade components work together to deliver stable, precise, and safe process control for continuous production.

PLC Control Unit

Industrial-grade PLC ensures stable logic execution, fast response time, and long-term reliability under continuous operation.

HMI Touchscreen Interface

Intuitive human-machine interface for real-time monitoring, parameter adjustment, and alarm visualization.

Electrical Control Cabinet

Integrated electrical panel with standardized wiring, labeled components, and tested safety circuits.

Sensor & Actuator Network

Temperature probes, pressure sensors, solenoid valves, and pumps communicate seamlessly with the control logic.

Designed for Brewing & Beverage Processes

Process-Oriented Control, Not Generic Automation

Our control logic is developed specifically for brewing, kombucha, winery, and beverage systems—not repurposed industrial automation.

Accurate mash temperature ramps
Fermentation temperature profiles
Glycol load balancing
CIP timing & chemical dosing logic

Integration with Your Equipment

Built to Connect, Not Replace

The control system is engineered to integrate smoothly with:

Brewhouse systems
Fermentation tanks & BBTs
Glycol cooling units
CIP stations
Packaging equipment

Support for both new installations and retrofit projects.

FAQ

Can You Customize the Control System for My Brewery or Production Line?

Yes. METO can customize the PLC logic, I/O configuration, HMI interface, control cabinet, sensors, valves, pumps, and process sequences according to your equipment and production process. The system can be designed for new brewery installations or existing equipment upgrades.

Should I Choose a Semi-Automatic or Fully Automatic Control System?

A semi-automatic system is suitable for craft breweries and pilot plants that need flexibility and lower investment. A fully automatic PLC system is better for medium to large-scale production where repeatability, process control, data management, and reduced manual operation are important.

Can the Control System Automatically Control Temperature, Pumps and Valves?

Yes. The system can monitor and control temperature, pumps, valves, motors, agitators, glycol cooling, fermentation processes, CIP cycles, and other equipment according to the configured process logic. This helps improve batch consistency and reduce manual operating errors.

Can You Add Remote Monitoring and Data Logging?

Yes. Remote monitoring and data logging are available as optional functions. Depending on the project, the system can record process data, alarms, and batch information for production monitoring, troubleshooting, and process management.

Can You Design a Control System for a New Brewery or Retrofit an Existing System?

Yes. METO provides control solutions for both new installations and retrofit projects. For an existing system, our engineers can review your equipment list, electrical drawings, sensors, valves, and control requirements before proposing a suitable upgrade solution.
