Talk title: Stop Digging Through Spreadsheets: Eliminating Data Silos to Prevent Downtime, Defects, and Guesswork

Every craft brewery runs on data, but most of it lives in silos. Your PLC holds sensors, actuators and setpoints data, but quality checks sit in a spreadsheet and the brew day lives on paper that might never makes it back into any database. When something goes wrong, the investigation becomes an archaeology project. This session looks at what changes when all of that production data is unified into a single system of truth.

Using a simple Problem, Solution, Outcome framework, we’ll walk through real challenges craft breweries faced and how PLAATO Insights resolved them. Root cause analysis drops from days to seconds. Equipment heading toward failure triggers a notification before it costs you unplanned downtime. A batch that failed diacetyl becomes a question you answer by querying the data directly. And when everyone works from the same information, an entire category of human error starts to disappear. We’ll close with the measurable results our customers achieved: greater efficiency, reduced downtime, tighter process control, and a direct impact on profitability.
