Data-Driven Process Optimization in Beverage Industry

Speaker: Dominik Polster, Bitburger Braugruppe GmbH

Increased price and competitive pressure as well as initiatives to increase energy and resource efficiency present the beverage industry with major challenges for rationalization. In the presentation, the possibilities and limits of existing approaches to data-based process optimization will be presented and it will be shown that new approaches to data analysis are required for biochemical processes with complex combinations of different influencing variables. For this reason, the DaPro research consortium was established to explore data driven process optimization in the beverage industry based on machine learning.
