Save water. Bottle more Beer.

Top 3 Operational Challenges in Beer Manufacturing
01
Greater SKU complexity creates operational bottlenecks
More flavors and product variations mean more changeovers, rinse steps, and Clean-in-Place cycles. Breweries running growing SKU portfolios lose valuable production time between runs as operational complexity increases.
02
Filtration downtime reduces throughput
Filtration interruptions force breweries into additional filter cleaning cycles, increase Kieselguhr usage, and reduce available production time. Small filtration inefficiencies quickly compound across brewing operations.
03
Conservative Clean-in-Place standards waste chemicals, water, and time
Many breweries run conservative Clean-In-Place cycles to avoid failed cleans and contamination risk. This extended clean time leads to chemical overdosing, reusable caustic sent to drain, excess water usage, and longer-than-necessary cleaning cycles.

VP of Sustainability
AB InBev is leveraging digital tools to support our work in water stewardship. [We] piloted an approach in our Leuven Brewery in Belgium...leveraging a network of sensors to collect water use data in real time and deliver efficiency solutions through an AI-powered platform.
[Laminar enables AB InBev] to reduce water usage in our brewing operations. The successful pilot with [Laminar] is being rolled out to a number of breweries across the business.

Safeguard Your Long-term Productivity & Sustainability Goals
Laminar is the intelligence layer that enables process-aware autonomy for brewers at industrial scale. Overtime, beer manufacturers realize compounding value and achieve the best version of their factory, breaking the tradeoff between production output and sustainability. Because the system continuously
improves each cycle based on real process conditions, operational improvements compound over time.

Faster Clean-in-Place and Product Changeovers on Tanks, Brewhouses, & Fillers
End cycles the moment residue clears — not when a worst-case timer expires. Recover product waste at both the tail and head of every batch transition and run faster changeovers.
Chemical Use and Waste Water Reduction
Reduce chemical overdose and unnecessary caustic loss caused by limited visibility into chemical degradation. Reduce the water used during rinse steps by only running each rinse step only as long as needed.
Greater Production Capacity
Reduce operational downtime across cleaning, filtration, and transitions to create more available production time without adding new infrastructure.
Filtration & Kieselguhr Optimization
Stabilize filtration conditions to reduce Delta P spikes, extend filtration runtime, reduce Kieselguhr consumption, and minimize filter CIP cycles.
