Cyber-physical pilot brewery as a demonstrator for digital solutions to improve sustainability in the brewing industry

The BeverGreen project is enhancing the cyber-physical experimental brewery to explore digital solutions for more sustainable production. At its core is a platform for Green Digital Twins, described using the Web Ontology Language. The goal is to create a data-driven and semantically enriched model that optimizes brewery-specific processes while integrating environmental aspects.
A key step in this development is the precise monitoring of energy consumption. For this purpose, energy meters have been integrated into the system to capture real-time data on operational activities. These data are stored in a time-series database, enabling data-driven analyses. This allows energy-intensive processes to be identified and optimized accordingly.
The second milestone meeting of the project, taking place on April 1st and 2nd in Bitburg, will focus on how energy data, process data, and ontology models can be effectively interconnected. The event will showcase the project's progress, including the advancements in the experimental brewery, use cases from partner companies, and the architecture of the Green Digital Twin. This meeting serves as a central platform for collaboration within the BeverGreen consortium, setting the stage for the next phases of development.
