To obtain and analyze results with conventional methods

$10,000/violation

Which can occur by as much as ±0.5 pH units

Challenges faced by users

Inefficient Sample Collection

Brewers rely on manual collection of samples for pH testing, a time-intensive process that not only slows down production but also introduces opportunities for human error.

Risk of Batch Loss

If pH levels exceed the defined thresholds, the entire batch must be discarded. This results in significant material waste and financial loss, directly impacting the brewery's profitability.

Excessive Time Commitment

The Quality Control manager dedicates 30 to 60 minutes daily to collecting test samples, this diverts valuable resources away from other critical quality assurance and optimization activities.

Primitive Data Management

Data from pH tests is stored on physical hard drives and shared via email, a method that lacks real-time accessibility and scalability.

Problem statement

How might we design a sustainable, preemptive and digital waste monitoring system that reduces the manual work of the brewers and increases the brewing efficiency?

Introducing Cassandra: an innovative IoT and machine learning solution designed to revolutionize waste management in brewing, optimizing pH monitoring for enhanced efficiency and compliance.

Optimizing Brewing Process Efficiency with AI-Powered pH Monitoring

Revolutionize waste management with the AI-powered monitoring system, accurately predicting pH levels at every stage of the brewing process.
