BrewMaster Brian Watson, one of the world’s most celebrated BrewMasters, engaged Nemesys to help realise a new vision for craft beer production: a fully automated brewing system that could produce virtually any style, consistently, inside restaurants and bars around the world.
Working with Natural Brew NZ, Nemesys developed the SmartBrew automation platform, enabling fresh, on-site craft beer brewed from high gravity wort streams, yeast, and dry hops within a stand-alone, intelligent system. SmartBrew now operates in venues globally, giving operators access to high-quality, house-branded beer without needing a full-time brewer on site.
Analyze existing processes (4 months)
Develop connected architecture for machines and devices (6 months)
Integrate AI for predictive optimization (8 months)
Deploy automated quality monitoring tools (5 months)
Test the system in a controlled production environment (4 months)
Roll out across production lines (3 months)
Legacy manufacturing processes are often rigid and inefficient, making it hard for companies to respond quickly to market demands or optimize resource utilization.
Boosts industrial productivity and supports sustainable practices by reducing energy consumption, material waste, and production errors.
SmartBrew has helped transform how venues around the world approach craft beer. By combining advanced automation with BrewMaster-level expertise, the system makes high-quality, fresh beer accessible to restaurants and bars that previously lacked the space, skills, or infrastructure for traditional brewing.
The result is a smarter, more repeatable brewing model, supporting brand growth, reducing operational complexity, and elevating the craft beer experience for customers in multiple markets.
Work with major manufacturing clients to design, program, and commission process automation systems. Involves PLC logic, HMI development, and site integration.
