Challenges
Process Standardization Gap
Absence of a batch process–based control system aligned with ISA S88
Execution Complexity
Need for a structured, multi-phase implementation across design, development, testing, and commissioning
Process Limitation
Variability in parameters across brewing stages led to inconsistent output quality and inefficiencies
Solution
ACL Digital delivered the project through structured phases:
- System Design: FDS, DDS, FAT protocols, test instructions, and test cases
- Application Development: SCADA and PLC development, batch model design
- Testing: Internal testing and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
- Deployment: Pre-commissioning and commissioning
- Validation: Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and as-built documentation
Outcomes
- Standardized Control: Successfully established a batch process model based on ISA S88
- Phase Completion: Structured execution achieved across design, development, testing, and commissioning phases
- Faster Validation: Reduced validation effort and enabled faster regulatory sign-off
