Wei China Foshan factory visited the production links related to product quality and safety, including the saccharification workshop, packaging workshop, quality inspection laboratory, etc.

Cheng Yanjun, Vice President of Supply Chain and Logistics of Budweiser Asia Pacific North Region, said that Budweiser China has strict quality control and quality management processes. Through the introduction of high-tech production technology and equipment, it has upgraded its production links and created a smart supply chain with Budweiser characteristics. , covering the entire production and brewing process to ensure product quality.

BRAUMAT+BPA intelligent system double control

Cheng Yanjun introduced that Budweiser Foshan Factory is one of the most important factories in Budweiser Asia Pacific North Region. With an annual production capacity of 1.6 million tons, it accounts for nearly 20% of the global supply of Budweiser beer.

Faced with such a large output, how to ensure the flavor and quality of each bottle of beer? According to reports, the BRAUMAT system and BPA system in the saccharification central control workshop have become the two “killer weapons”.

Budweiser Foshan factory saccharification workshop

The BRAUMAT system is a fully integrated control system. It monitors online volume, temperature, conductivity and other information in real time. Computer automation strictly controls every process: there are nearly 1,500 valves on the system, and with just one click of the mouse, You can operate the valve's switch and opening. At the same time, it monitors various important parameters including temperature, time, etc. during the production process 24 hours a day to ensure the high stability of the quality and taste of each bottle of beer.

BPA (beer process analysis system) is responsible for recording the data in the production process in real time: from raw materials, wort to the final sake, down to every valve switch, these data will be recorded and archived in detail; settings except automatic In addition to recording the entire production process steps and actual parameters, it can also automatically alarm to avoid human judgment of instability.

In the saccharification central control room of Budweiser's Foshan factory, employees check BPA data and monitor product quality.

The BRAUMAT and BPA systems can be called the "two heroes" of intelligent technology in the saccharification workshop. They strictly control the content of process data to ensure beer quality.

Real-time quality inspection of the packaging process, leaving no room for defects

In the packaging workshop of the Budweiser Foshan factory, the reporter saw that the entire filling state was fully sealed. In a few seconds, the filling and capping of more than a dozen bottles of beer were completed. It is reported that the Budweiser Foshan factory has a bottling production line with filling speeds ranging from 600 bottles to 800 bottles per minute. It only takes 0.8 seconds from the wine machine outlet to the capping. The factory also uses an "EBI (Electronic Bottle Inspection Machine)". Before beer filling, the EBI divides each bottle into nine areas for high-speed scanning and imaging. The identification is accurate to the millimeter, and even unqualified bottles cannot escape its detection.

In addition, each packaging line is also equipped with Line view/EIT (Full picture) for live broadcast of production. It is convenient for staff to check the production status at any time, and when a production failure occurs, they can trace the source of the problem at any time.

Cheng Yanjun told Xinhuanet that Budweiser still adheres to traditional brewing techniques in order to ensure the mellow quality of the beer. However, in the product research and development, power and packaging departments, Budweiser uses modern technology and intelligent manufacturing to increase automatic control to ensure the stability of power medium supply and consistency of operation, minimize packaging damage to wine, and reduce process deviations. .

Budweiser beer takes only 0.8 seconds to complete from the outlet of the wine machine to the gland.

An average of more than 6,500 test data per day is traceable within 4 hours.

In terms of food testing, the Budweiser Foshan factory QA laboratory outputs an average of more than 6,500 test data every day. Product testing includes four dimensions: physical and chemical, sensory, microbial, and outer packaging quality. The QA laboratory of this laboratory has a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument that can quickly and accurately identify microorganisms in beer. Currently, only 5 factory laboratories in the national beer industry have this testing equipment.

In addition, through the application of Sensory APP, the factory realizes automatic numbering of daily evaluation samples, standardization of evaluation results and automatic analysis of evaluation consistency, which greatly improves the work efficiency of analysts.

In order to ensure product quality, Budweiser has launched a "traceability" system. Each bottle of Budweiser beer has a traceability code, which can trace back all the data of a bottle of beer from malt to the finished product within 4 hours. Not only can it be traced The production time, storage position and number of days in the warehouse, etc. can also be traced back to the license plate number and supplier of the vehicle transporting the malt into the factory.

Cheng Yanjun said that Anheuser-Busch InBev implements a globally unified VPO factory optimization management system, which is also an advanced management system for AB InBev supply chain and logistics globally. It aims to ensure that all factories around the world can achieve the desired results through correct and consistent methods. Consistently improveable results. It achieves safe production, ensures quality, reduces waste, and improves efficiency through strict standard control of all links. It also allows the company's management system to be quickly replicated and maintains the consistency of global factory management.

"In terms of laboratory testing, Budweiser selects a product from a factory around the world every month, uses one product to calibrate the instruments of each factory, monitors whether the data analyzed by the instrument is normal, and performs calibration once a month to ensure that the data Accurate." Cheng Yanjun said.

Technology brewing cup wine ingenuity

Zhang Wujiu, deputy director of the China Food Fermentation Industry Research Institute It means that high-quality beer should have significant malt aroma and unique hop aroma, be refreshing, delicate, and refreshing, without aging smell, green flavor, and no foreign aroma. When purchasing beer, consumers can judge the quality of the beer by "looking at the date, color, transparency, foam, smelling the aroma, and tasting the taste." At the same time, he also said that in the face of rumors about beer consumption, consumers should think and treat them rationally, and if they have any questions, they can seek verification from the relevant authoritative departments.
