Sistema de automação para produção de cervejas artesanais

Abstract

According to 2019 data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa), in the last 10 years the number of artisanal breweries in Brazil has grown over 1000%. This market already moves about 2.4 billion reais. In view of the scenario of great expansion of this niche, there is a need to create systems that automate production, reducing costs and increasing production efficiency. This work proposes the creation of a low cost automated system that optimizes the craft beer production process with a focus on home brewers. The prototype is composed by the Wemos d1 mini plate that has the esp8266 microcontroller, a temperature sensor, relays, and other electronic components responsible for controlling an electrical resistance responsible for heating the wort in the brazing process. The system has an integrated server that hosts a web interface responsible for managing the brazing process, which can be accessed by cell phone, computer or any device that has a browser
