Traditional whisky production based on cutting-edge automation solutions

Stauning Whisky's top modern distillery is equipped with Init’s groundbreaking control system user interface

Just at the outskirts of Stauning – a small town in rural Jutland in Denmark – lies a top modern, one-of-a-kind whisky distillery. Built in 2018, the distillery combines traditional production methods with innovative automation solutions and a ground-breaking user interface.

Solution

Combining innovative automation systems with home-made equipment

To meet rising demands for their high-quality whisky, Stauning Whisky needed to build a new distillery. The ambitions for the new production facilities were to unite innovative thinking and top modern design with traditional production methods.

 

The complex project entailed many exciting challenges, as Stauning Whisky wished to transfer many of the solutions from its existing production to the new facility. This includes for instance a mechanical cereal turner for floor malting, a home designed mash drum and a quite unique mechanical snail to distribute cereal in the smoke ovens.

As engineers, we love the chance to crack a nut like this one, even if it is complex. For Init, it is the first time that we are part of a large, continuous project, where everything takes place in the TIA portal. The whole TIA project has elevated our business and enabled us to integrate the TIA portal in existing facilities, for instance within dairy and breweries. That strengthens our competitiveness significantly.
