The brewery spans over 4,800 square meters, boasts a 2,000-liter automated brewhouse, more than 15 fermentation tanks, and is capable of producing up to 400,000 liters of beer each month.

FTELOS Brewery has successfully established itself as a vibrant destination for beer enthusiasts; however, operating on an island presents unique challenges. The scarcity of resources such as water and electricity makes the need for sustainable and efficient production very important. That is, not only because water and electricity are significantly more expensive, but also because eliminating wasting them has a serious positive impact in the local community. Manual processes and rising labor costs, coupled with the challenges imposed by the need for sustainable resource usage, made the brewery recognize the necessity for more efficient, transparent, and traceable workflows. Monitoring production in real-time, enabled the potential for expansion and innovation. To uphold their high standards while enhancing operational efficiency, FTELOS implemented the Indeex Digital Twin platform, streamlining their processes without compromising the quality that their customers expect.
