SWYCH FOR
CRAFT BREWING
Drop a MD1/2 microPLC next to any tank — wireless temp and control without pulling a single cable.
THE OLD WAY
- 01.Adding tank monitoring means pulling cable through a crowded brewhouse — slow and expensive.
- 02.Stand-alone loggers capture data but can't actuate your glycol valves or talk to your chiller PLC.
- 03.Proprietary brewery controllers lock you into one vendor's ecosystem and subscription fees.
- 04.Expanding from a 3-tank to a 10-tank setup means re-engineering your entire control panel.
THE SWYCH WAY
- 01.Drop-in MD1/2 microPLC: Reads your existing PT100 probes via a Modbus RTU sensor and bridges the data wirelessly — no new cable runs needed.
- 02.Relay outputs: Wire a glycol solenoid to a MD1/2 microPLC output and drive it from your existing HMI, SCADA, or a rules engine.
- 03.No subscriptions, no lock-in: You own the hardware. Data goes wherever you point it — Frigid.Cloud, Brewfather, or your own system via MQTT and webAPI.
- 04.Scale one tank at a time: Each MD1/2 microPLC is independent — add tanks without touching your main panel or rewiring anything.
DEPLOYMENT SCENARIOS
🍺
Fermentation Monitoring
Mount a MD1/2 microPLC per tank to read RTD probes and log temps wirelessly to your platform of choice.
🫧
