Chateau Ste. Michelle - Logix Controls

Challenge

The winemakers of Chateau Ste. Michelle required an automated temperature control system that would improve efficiency and flexibility by monitoring and adjusting the temperature of wine throughout the entire fermentation process.

Solution

Logix installed a system that precisely controls tank temperatures, optimizes refrigeration machinery room operations, and reduces energy consumption. The solution was capable of monitoring fermentation activity and automatically changing setpoints based on fermentation rates. Requested safeguards to prevent overshooting tank cooling and icing during cold stabilization were implemented.
