By plugging into your PLC, programmable logic computer, the PLAATO Edge is like giving your brewery a brain and a voice. It can connect between every instrument you already have, so that you get a 24/7, 365 days a year overview of every batch your brewery makes.

With PLAATO Edge, you can enjoy the complete story of your beer, from grain to glass.

What is PLAATO Edge?

Our device is an industrial gateway that connects to your brewery control system in order to collect and send important brewing data to our cloud for processing. This allows us to analyse quality and efficiency throughout every process in your brewery.

It can also help you cut costs, and improve traceability, quality and insights – the way you want it to. The PLAATO Edge can make all the difference to your brewery, your beer, and your life.

How PLAATO Edge works

Your control panel contains electronics designed to safely manage all of the sensors, pumps and valves in your brewery. When you open up the door, the brains of the system is known as a PLC. We are able to support all major suppliers, and if you don't see your PLC in the list, contact us and we will work with you to connect it up.

If you don't know which PLC you have in your brewery, you can take a look inside your control panel and compare to our list of supported PLCs.
