Scenarios

No case study yet. Here is how one would be measured.

Brewira has not run on a plant, so there are no results to report. These are scenario walk-throughs built from the product designs: what a pilot would instrument, what it would baseline, and the gate it would have to pass.

Scenarios

Four walk-throughs

Each follows the first-release plan: shadow, assist, then bounded control only after the agreed gates.

Brewery · canning lineSealix QUEUED

Giveaway and low fills on one filler

Baseline. Fill giveaway per container and per shift, low-fill and leaker rejects and their attributed causes, from the plant's own checkweigher, QA and complaint records over the first weeks of shadow mode.

Walk-through. Shadow mode reads the filler and seamer telemetry and runs fill-level, seam and cap, label and foreign-body models on the line's cameras while the line runs as usual. Once fill-level estimates track the checkweigher, assist mode proposes fill-valve trims that bring the average down from defensive over-fill toward target. The line engineer approves each move; corrections train the model. Bounded adaptive fill follows only after the agreed gates.

Gate. Fill-level accuracy against the checkweigher, then a giveaway reduction that justifies $14,000 per line per month from verified savings.

Brewery · fermentation cellarFermix QUEUED

Attenuation variance and tank time on one cellar

Baseline. Attenuation variance against target, finish time per tank, stuck or runaway ferments and downgraded batches per strain, from the brewery's own gravity readings and QA records.

Walk-through. Inline gravity, dissolved oxygen and CO2, pH and temperature feed a physics-informed curve model per tank and yeast lot. Assist mode proposes temperature-ramp and crash-timing moves inside the brewmaster's approved windows and flags abnormal fermentation early. The brewmaster's corrections are captured as per-strain and per-tank memory, so the next batch starts from what the last one taught.

Gate. Attenuation variance and tank time against baseline, and a brewmaster who trusts the alerts.

Soft drinks · carbonationCarbyn QUEUED

CO2 use and clarity rejects on a carbonation skid

Baseline. CO2 consumed per batch, off-spec and clarity rejects, filter changes and backwashes, from the plant's CO2 metering and QA records.

Walk-through. Shadow mode fuses the skid's inline CO2, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature and pressure and compares predicted carbonation to the lab. Assist mode proposes dosing and pressure moves that hold the package target with less gas, and times backwashes from predicted filter loading. Bounded dosing write-back on one product family follows after the gates.

Gate. Carbonation accuracy against the lab, then a CO2 and reject reduction the plant can see on its own meters.

Juice · tunnel pasteurizerPastura QUEUED

PU, energy and audit time on one pasteurizer

Baseline. Energy and water per hectoliter on pasteurization and CIP, PU margin held, spoilage incidents and the hours spent assembling audit evidence, from the plant's meters and quality system.

Walk-through. Shadow mode monitors PU zone by zone against the validated profile and generates the assurance record for every batch from day one. Assist mode proposes cycle changes that hold PU at less energy and flags CIP cycles whose sensor evidence is incomplete. Bounded control stays inside food-safety limits and never moves the profile itself.

Gate. Energy and water per hectoliter and audit-prep time against baseline, with the PU profile untouched and the quality manager owning release.

Run timeline

Scenario: one lager batch, brewhouse to can

Every Brewira run is an ordered, inspectable sequence. This is run_scn_01, an illustrative scenario: Plant run · one lager batch from brewhouse to can · brewhouse, cellar, filler, tunnel pasteurizer. Scenario complete · batch inside spec · one human approval at the pasteurizer.

run_scn_01 scenario · not measured SUCCEEDED
  1. 01 order.receive SUCCEEDED 0.8 s

    Plant Orchestrator · Pulled the recipe, the package spec, the HACCP plan with its pasteurization critical control point, the yeast lot record and the standing CIP window from the beverage MES and the lab system; locked the target envelope for the run.

  2. 02 twin.simulate SUCCEEDED 38 s

    Plant Orchestrator · Simulated 24 candidate brew, fermentation and carbonation plans on the Cuvera as-produced twin; ranked them on gravity margin, predicted finish time, CO2 target, PU margin, takt and CO2 and energy use, and discarded every candidate that thinned the pasteurization margin.

  3. 03 brew.blend SUCCEEDED 2 m 40 s

    Brew-and-Blend · Held wort gravity to recipe from the inline gravity analyzer and the brewhouse PLC, trimming the blend and utilization setpoints inside the recipe window rather than correcting after a spot lab check.

  4. 04 ferment.control SUCCEEDED 5 d 06 h

    Ferment-and-Yeast · Predicted the attenuation curve and finish time for the tank from inline gravity, dissolved oxygen and CO2, pH and temperature; held the temperature ramp and timed the crash inside the brewmaster-approved window; no stuck or runaway fermentation was flagged.

  5. 05 carbonate.dose SUCCEEDED 3 m 15 s

    Filter-and-Carbonate · Fused inline CO2, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature and pressure; held carbonation to the package target with the minimum CO2 and timed the filter backwash from the predicted loading instead of a fixed schedule.

  6. 06 fill.seal SUCCEEDED continuous

    Fill-and-Seal · Adjusted fill valves toward the target level inside the approved window using drift feedback from inspection, and ran seam checks on the seamer; the filler corrected upstream instead of rejecting downstream.

  7. 07 inspect.line SUCCEEDED continuous

    Defect-and-Inspect · 16 camera streams at the line edge: fill level, seam and cap, label and date code, foreign body and container checks on every can; three low-fill rejects were attributed to one filler valve and Fill-and-Seal corrected it.

  8. 08 pasteurize.verify SUCCEEDED continuous

    Pasteurize-and-CIP · Held the tunnel pasteurizer on the validated PU profile at the lowest zone energy inside the envelope; every critical control point reading was written to the audit log against the HACCP plan and the CIP release checks were armed.

  9. 09 approve.human APPROVAL 1 m 52 s

    Plant Orchestrator · The lowest-energy candidate wanted to move the pasteurizer CIP into a window that overlapped the next brand's start. Held for the shift quality manager, who kept the validated PU profile untouched and approved the CIP move with a tighter release check.

  10. 10 release.genealogy SUCCEEDED 1 m 05 s

    Quality-and-Conformance · Batch released: gravity and attenuation curves, yeast lot, CO2 and clarity, fill and seal outcomes, inspection rejects, PU readings, CIP release and every human decision written to the batch genealogy and checked against spec.

Tool calls

The tool calls behind the scenario

Every tool invocation, argument and result is written to an immutable, human-readable log, and every reasoning step is expandable. Nothing about a run is hidden from the plant. The log below is the scenario run, not a measured one.

Brew batch L-0931 to recipe gravity, ferment it to target attenuation, carbonate and fill it to spec at line speed, pasteurize it on the validated PU profile and release it with full genealogy.

PlanSimulate the whole batch on the twin first. Lead with gravity …

Simulate the whole batch on the twin first. Lead with gravity so the cellar gets the right wort and the filler gets the right CO2. Verify the pasteurization critical control point continuously. Let the filler chase target level only inside the approved window; hold anything beyond the envelope for a human.

ThoughtThe standing practice over-fills to avoid low fills and over-g…

The standing practice over-fills to avoid low fills and over-gasses to avoid flat product. With continuous fill-level estimation and inline CO2 the filler and the carbonator can sit at target. The saving is giveaway, not safety margin: the pasteurization CCP is never a candidate for optimization.

Actiontwin.simulate(candidates=24) → plan #7: gravity on recipe, fin…

twin.simulate(candidates=24) → plan #7: gravity on recipe, finish day 5, CO2 at package target, PU margin unchanged, lowest predicted CO2 and energy per hectoliter.

Plan #7 wants the pasteurizer CIP in a window that overlaps the next brand's start. The policy engine routes that single move to the shift quality manager and permits the other seven writes.

Execute plan #7 at the bounded stage: brewhouse blend, tank ramp, CO2 dosing and fill-valve writes proceed; PU is verified continuously; the CIP move waits.

Approval granted at 06:33:44 with the PU profile untouched and a tighter CIP release check. Three low-fill rejects were attributed to filler valve 14 and corrected by Fill-and-Seal inside the approved window.

Scenario complete. The batch is released with gravity and attenuation curves, yeast lot, CO2 and clarity, fill and seal outcomes, PU readings, CIP release and the human decision in the genealogy. No measured plant result is claimed; this is the run the platform is designed to execute.

Method

How we would measure, and what we would exclude

Baseline first

Every pilot starts in shadow mode. The baseline comes from the plant's own lab, meters, checkweighers and QA records, never from Brewira telemetry.

One metric

One line, one hard KPI agreed before anything is connected: giveaway, attenuation variance, CO2 per batch, or energy and water per hectoliter.

Gates, not dates

Assist mode starts when prediction accuracy is proven. Bounded control starts when the food-safety and ROI gates pass. Neither is promised by calendar.

Exclusions

Changes driven by brand mix, package changes or raw-material lots are separated from the agent's effect using the baseline period's variance.

Design targets

Design targets the scenarios assume

The numbers Brewira is engineered against, from the GPU utilization plan.

<100 ms edge inference for a reject decision at line speed
<250 ms drift alert to the fill-and-seal agent
8–24 camera feeds per high-speed filling or packaging line
60–240 FPS aggregate frames processed per line, depending on container speed
20–60 deployed model versions per enterprise tenant, with canary rollout and rollback
100k–1M labeled synthetic rare-defect variants per design-partner phase

Design targets from the GPU utilization plan, all marked aspirational in the architecture. Nothing on this page is a measured plant result; measurements start when the first design-partner line runs in shadow mode.

Engagement

How a design-partner engagement runs

Gates, not dates. Each stage starts when the previous one has proven its number against your own baseline.

  1. Design partners. Three to five beverage makers instrument the wedge workflow in shadow mode. We measure the baseline on loss, giveaway, water and energy from your own lab, QA records and meters.
  2. Assist mode. The agent recommends brew, fermentation, carbonation or fill moves and predicts contamination and fill and seal faults; your engineer approves. Accuracy and ROI are proven against the baseline.
  3. Graduated autonomy. Low-risk filling, carbonation and inspection loops move to bounded automatic control with adaptive setpoints. Exceptions escalate to a person.
  4. Expansion. Adjacent modules are added within the same plant, then across sites.
Autonomy

Four stages, set per loop

A plant does not go from manual to bounded control in one step. Brewira makes the stage explicit per loop, auditable and reversible at any time, and some decisions never leave the person.

Autonomy stages and the human role at each
StageWhat the agent doesWhat the person doesWhen
ShadowPredicts gravity, attenuation, carbonation, fill and seal faults, contamination and takt; writes nothingRuns the plant as today; compares predictions to lab, QA and PLC outcomesFirst phase with every design partner
AssistRecommends bounded brew, fermentation, carbonation, fill and seal, pasteurization and CIP moves with the evidenceA brewmaster, process engineer or quality manager approves or rejects each oneAfter accuracy is proven against the baseline
BoundedWrites low-risk filling, carbonation and inspection setpoints inside documented recipe, quality, food-safety, equipment and rollback limitsApproves anything above the limits; reviews the shift recordAfter the food-safety and ROI gates agreed up front
ExceptionsEscalates anything outside its envelope, CCP-adjacent moves and release decisionsAlways decides these; the agent never doesPermanent
From the plant floor

Who this is built for

The three people in a beverage plant whose week changes when the process runs itself, and what each of them needs from Brewira.

Economic buyer

Plant or Operations Director

Owns production rate, quality, loss, giveaway and yield, water and energy, and food safety. Wants a plant that holds spec at higher rate with fewer interventions, and a number that justifies the spend.

Champion

Brewmaster or Process Engineer

Owns recipes, brewhouse and blend, fermentation and carbonation process windows and yield. Approves and corrects the agents in assist mode; those corrections train the models.

Approver

Quality or Food-Safety Manager

Owns product quality and safety under HACCP, FSMA, FSSC 22000 and BRCGS, contamination and fill and seal conformance, and batch genealogy. Needs every action grounded, cited and written to an immutable record.

IT/OT and sustainability leads approve the deployment. There are no customer quotes on this site yet; design partners will speak for themselves when they choose to.

Guardrails

An agent that can move a setpoint needs a leash

Brewira writes to production equipment in a food plant. Every capability is scoped, every write is policy-checked, every output is cited, and every action is written to an append-only audit log the plant owns.

  • Bounded action space. Each agent can only write to an explicit tag allow-list, inside per-tag rate and magnitude limits, at the autonomy stage the plant has set.
  • Critical control points are read, never written. Pasteurization units, CIP release checks and batch release decisions stay with the HACCP plan and the people who own it.
  • Policy engine before every write. Autonomy stage, interlock state, product, shift and operator presence are evaluated before a setpoint moves.
  • Grounded and cited. Every recommendation carries a citation to the recipe, spec or procedure it relied on. Retrieval is tenant-isolated and permission-aware.
  • Immutable audit log. Append-only, exportable and retained on the plant's own storage, aligned to HACCP, FSMA, FSSC 22000 and BRCGS record-keeping.
  • Hard fallback. If the edge node, the network or a model stops, the plant keeps running on its existing PLC and SCADA control and interlocks.
  • Tenant and IP isolation. Recipes, supplier data and tolerance models never cross a customer boundary. On-prem deployment available.

FAQ

Straight answers

The questions plant directors, brewmasters and quality managers ask in the first meeting.

Only at the autonomy stage your plant has set, and only to an explicit allow-list of low-risk loops inside documented limits. Every design partner starts in shadow mode, where Brewira predicts and writes nothing. Assist mode follows, where a brewmaster or process engineer approves each recommendation. Bounded autonomy on filling, carbonation and inspection loops comes after the food-safety and ROI gates agreed up front.
