If you’re wondering how 5G will impact the businesses of tomorrow, consider Exhibit ‘A.’ The Boston area-based brewing company is quickly building up a loyal (and thirsty) following with craftily named beers like Hair Raiser and The Cat’s Meow. As any brewer knows, creating a great beer is a process. More than just choosing the right hops or creating a clever marketing strategy, brewers need a repeatable, measurable process from fermentation through production. It’s a hands-on business that requires diligence because trouble in the production process is always brewing around the corner.
It was exactly this sort of trouble that led Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing Company to connect with Dell Technologies for a wireless solution. Specifically, Exhibit ‘A’ was having trouble with temperature control in several of its brewing vats. If you’re unfamiliar with beer brewing, it suffices to say that temperature and pressure control are critical to the fermentation process. A few degrees or PSI too high or too low can change a beer’s taste. This change of taste is not typically good, resulting in a lost batch of beer and, thus, thousands of dollars.
