This study describes the development of an automatic control system based on PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) technology. The problem addressed is the need to improve the efficiency and accuracy in the mashing process, which is a critical stage in craft beer brewing. To solve it, an automated system was designed and implemented to control the mashing temperature and time using a Siemens S7 1200 PLC. The strategy used consisted of integrating temperature sensors and a PID controller to maintain the desired temperature throughout the mashing process. In addition, a graphical user interface was used to monitor and control the mashing process remotely. The methodology used in this study was based on the review of existing literature on craft brewing and industrial process automation. An experimental design was carried out to evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of the automated system compared to the traditional mashing method. The results obtained indicate that the automated system developed is capable of maintaining the desired temperature with an accuracy of ±1.8°C and reducing the mashing time by 20% compared to the traditional method. In addition, an improvement in the quality of the final product in terms of flavor and aroma was observed. This system offers an efficient and accurate solution for the mashing process in craft brewing. Furthermore, it contributes to the field of industrial process automation and can be used as a basis for future research in the area.
