From craft producers to large-scale operations, our PLC and SCADA engineers give you precise control over every stage of production, ensuring the successful deployment of automation technology and software.

The perfect pint or dram is a blend of art and science. While the recipe is art, the repeatable execution is pure science. inControl Systems provides the automation solutions that empower brewers and distillers to guarantee consistency, improve efficiency, and scale production. As a leading control systems integrator, we help you perfect your process.
The perfect pint or dram is always a balance of art and science. While the recipe is the art, repeatable execution is pure science. inControl Systems provides Brewery and Distillery Automation solutions that guarantee consistency, improve efficiency, and enable you to scale production. As a trusted control systems integrator, we help you perfect your process.
Our solutions, built on flexible hardware and software platforms from industry leaders such as Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Aveva, and Copa Data, replace guesswork with precision. A modern SCADA system with integrated recipe management allows you to control every variable—from mash temperatures to fermentation times and distillation cuts—ensuring each batch meets your golden standard. We can deliver all aspects of Brewery and Distillery Automation, from electrical and PLC software engineering to control panel supply and commissioning.
Is your brewery or distillery business asking…
“How can I improve my brewery’s batch-to-batch consistency?”
“What’s the best way to increase yield and reduce raw material waste?“
“How do I automate manual brewing or distilling processes to reduce human error?”
“How can I optimise my CIP system to save time, energy, and chemicals?”
“What’s the best way to automate, log and analyse fermentation & distillation data?”
Expert control system automation for breweries and distilleries
Our engineers work with both new builds and legacy sites, from microbreweries to international distilleries. inControl can manage every aspect of your automation project—whether it’s upgrading existing PLC and SCADA systems or designing a fully automated process from scratch.
- Implementing flexible recipe management systems within a SCADA or HMI interface.
- Automating fermentation, and distillation cut-points for precise, repeatable control.
- Providing a full PLC controlled upgrade path from manual controls to
to complete automation. - Designing fully automated, validated CIP systems for efficiency and compliance.
- Using process historians and reporting tools, often on Siemens or Rockwell Automation platforms, to track and analyse every batch.
We have a proven track record of delivering quality and service for breweries and distilleries in the UK and internationally. Our personal service and flexible approach are valued just as highly as the results we deliver.
Cut waste and costs with Brewery and Distillery Automation
Many plant managers know they are losing money through waste, energy usage, productivity losses, or unplanned stoppages—but find it difficult to pinpoint exactly where those costs are highest. This is where site-wide industrial digitalisation and connectivity between all processes reveal the data you need. By identifying and addressing the most urgent priorities, you can make your operation more effective, efficient, and profitable.
