Diseño del proceso de automatización de planta de cerveza artesanal La Marquesa ubicada en la ciudad de Bucaramanga-Santander

Abstract

The La Marquesa beer plant has been developing its commercial activity since August 2021, dedicating itself to craft beer manufacturing, which implies long process times. To make it, you must know each of the stages from the selection of the raw material (malted barley) to its bottling and distribution. Through automation design, the aim is to increase the production of liters of beer in a shorter time, providing the possibility of improving and maintaining optimal control in the process of the stages, selecting the appropriate equipment, instruments and controllers. For the development of the Grafcet, the actions to be carried out were taken into account, thus obtaining the equations to program in the PLC equipment, ending with the simulation design in an HMI interface where the operator interacts with a device controlling and monitoring each of the stages. of production. The system is made up of sensors, in addition to the appropriate equipment to carry out the design of the craft beer control system, allowing to control valves, electric pumps and motors, executing each task optimally.
