Automation and Software Solutions for Breweries

Mr. Vermehren came highly recommended, his first project upgrading our Woodinville, WA brewery CIP (Clean in Place) system. He accomplished this for us successfully, demonstrating his level of skill with Braumat and Siemens systems. His skills proven, we had Mr. Vermehren upgrade the entire Braumat classic system in Woodinville. This went very successfully. A year or so later we hired him again to upgrade Braumat classic in our Portsmouth, NH facility. Here he also added a PCS-MIS system for us to utilize. All these upgrades went according to plan and the integration went very smoothly.

Mr. Vermehren is very methodical and detailed. His methods are thorough and well thought out. His communication is very clear and timely. He is the epitome of professionalism. He is patient, tactful and excels with working with people of all different levels to get them to be proficient with the systems that he installs. He proves repeatedly that his goal is to provide high-quality systems that will provide efficient results for long periods of time.

We use Mr. Vermehren’ s services when issues are not able to be solved internally. He answers or calls back very quickly no matter where he is in the world. He finds ways to remotely help and gets our systems back online very quickly.

I recommend using BrauXp and Mathias Vermehren as an Automation Solution Provider. His experience in the industry gives him the advantage over others; his expertise is second to none. I am confident that he will provide you with a top of the line automation system.

Mathias always provides his services when needed.

…The level of service extended by BrauXp to our company was beyond our expectations and had a very positive impact on the final acceptance by our customer.

What particularly impressed me about the service quality provided by Mr. Vermehren was that he did not only finish all required tasks, but used his skills to optimize and troubleshoot already existing sections to increase satisfaction and productivity of brewery operating staff.  All this was done within in a very limited time frame and with very limited information at beginning of his intervention.

It appears that it was simply Mr. Vermehren’s extraordinary commitment to excellence in customer service and support that motivated him to always go the extra mile.

Finally, I believe that Mr. Vermehren truly deserves to be congratulated and rewarded for providing customer service and support on this challenging brewery project.

I am convinced that the selection of BrauXp as our Automation Solution Provider for this project was an excellent decision. I personally found Mr. Vermehren not only an exceptional expert in the process automation area, but also a professional and perfectly well organized engineer, which made him a productive and totally assertive partner.

The key to achieving great results in the mentioned project was his outstanding experience, which allowed him to correctly plan the development of the whole project, anticipate future events and immediately propose alternatives to so lve unpredictable situations. The end-user has also provided me with his personal feedback, and has confirmed his total satisfaction with Mr. Vermehren’s involvement in the project.

I also admired the easiness and patience of Mr. Vermehren while transferring technical knowledge to our automation developers, which prepared them well to confidently approach future projects.

I am more than happy to recommend Mr. Vermehren as a Solution Provider for future automation projects, his professionalism, his attention to qu 1ty, a d his in-depth knowledge in the Brewing technology field.

While providing his services at our Company, he was committed to the job and followed each issue through its completion, and voluntarily worked extra hours to meet critical deadlines. He provided innovative solutions that improved the quality of our Braumat system and made the engineering very cost effective. He listened to us, the Customer, and understood what we needed and made it happen. For example, he made improvements in the control system of the plate heat exchangers making the cooling process more efficient and reliable.

He prepared a Braumat simulator for our Brewhouse and Fermenting/Maturation and Filtration cellar. The simulator was exactly the same as the Braumat system. With this simulator, we trained the supervisors and operators in Braumat. The documentation provided with the system was complete, detailed, and comprehensible. He took time to demonstrate the concepts and explain the technology so that people understood what was to be accomplished.

Mr. Vermehren accepts challenges and works well with difficult situations. He finds and implements a solution to a complex application. He communicates very well at all levels while maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction. He takes pride in his work and picks up on new ideas and technologies quickly and implements them in his projects.

We are confident in recommending Mr. Vermehren as a highly skilled and dependable automation engineer.
