We are committed to providing its customers with a state-of-the-art brewery distributed control system (DCS) that meets the highest demands.
Our goal is to enable fully automated recipe execution with minimal user intervention. As part of the scope, an FDA-compliant audit trail is included to ensure transparency and compliance.
DTECH CO holds the esteemed certification as a Siemens solution provider for the Siemens TIA engineering platform and the Siemens SISTAR BRAUMAT DCS control system. The SISTAR BRAUMAT control module library, developed in collaboration with Siemens, has evolved over time to leverage cloud-based software engineering with the latest BRAUMAT 8 version, based on WINCC Unified.
The DTECH CO Automation team comprises highly experienced hardware and software specialists, with an average of over 10 years of experience in designing and commissioning breweries. Customer orientation, proactive problem-solving, continuous training, and the use of cutting-edge tools are at the core of ZH’s values.
Electrical System Design with EPLAN
DTECH CO utilises EPLAN, the world’s leading application for electrical system design, to create the electrical system’s blueprint. A patented database connection ensures freedom from errors and redundancy. Compliance with industry standards, such as DINEN60204, guarantees the highest quality.
We provide the customer with comprehensive electrical as-built documentation, ensuring transparency and enabling smooth maintenance and future upgrades.
Customer-Specific Software Development
ZH takes a customer-centric approach to software development, creating custom software based on a Functional Design Specification (FDS). The FDS is submitted to the customer for approval at an early project stage, fostering collaboration and alignment.
Cloud-Based Approval Process
To streamline the approval process, the FDS is delivered as an MTP file, enabling cloud-based checking and release by the customer.
Adherence to ANSI/ISA-88 Standard
ZH has been following the ANSI/ISA-88 standard (IEC61512) for batch control for decades, ensuring a reliable and consistent approach to software development.
Preferred Automation Systems
ZH’s preferred automation systems are SISTAR BRAUMAT and PCS7 from Siemens. The software is thoroughly tested through a documented software FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) in collaboration with the customer.
A Digital Twin for Future Plant
ZH offers customers a digital twin of their future brewery plant after the design freeze. The digital twin is continuously enriched with additional data until the plant’s handover. The twin includes a 3D mechanical model and an automation twin (MTP file) for process simulation.
Customers are provided with cloud-based access to engineering data, facilitating life cycle management. An API interface allows customers to link specific data to the platform.
DTECH is committed to leveraging automation and digitalization to create future-proof, efficient, and innovative breweries. Through cutting-edge technology and experienced specialists, we ensure our automation solutions meet the highest industry standards
