What our clients are saying

An Ignition-based system composed of multiple screens for each phase of distillation, created for Four Roses Bourbon.
“Before the system was implemented, we relied on paperwork to track everything. I now have records of everything that goes on — tank transfers, [start and end] times, weight readings, inventory readings — and I have it all in real time.” 
Frank Corea Plant Engineer, Four Roses

Performance dashboard created for Anchor Brewing.
“The operator screens enabled our operators and supervisors to get a quick idea at a glance of generally how the run is going and if you are on track to finish production on time. From the manager screens, I was able to keep an eye on things from my office and see if there is a problem that is going on so I can make needed changes.”
