Deschutes Brewery, the seventh-largest craft brewery in the United States, is transforming beer making with data science. To increase production capacity with existing equipment, the brewery integrated the on-site OSIsoft PI System used to collect and manage production data with Microsoft Cortana Intelligence Suite. By using predictive analytics to increase fermentation capacity, Deschutes Brewery anticipates that it can save an average of 48 hours for every batch of beer across 8-10 brands year round. The result is more great beer without significant capital investment.
