Hamilton‘s OnDemand-Sensor Program for Weldebräu GmbH & Co. KG

sensor on demand program

Hamilton has offered the option of leasing sensors for use in brewery applications since 2017. After originally only offering oxygen sensors, thanks to the good response from the market, Hamilton OnDemand now also includes state-of-the-art sensors for efficient yeast management. But how exactly does OnDemand work? Our oxygen sensors, for example, are known for their exceptional robustness and guarantee reliable performance even under demanding conditions. However, to ensure consistently high measurement accuracy, regular maintenance is essential. With OnDemand, Hamilton not only offers a convenient solution, but also provides the customer with a completely worry-free measuring parameter: The sensors are not purchased, instead a customer subscribes to a measuring parameter for an annual fixed amount, without any additional costs for maintenance.

With OnDemand, Hamilton not only offers a convenient solution, but also provides the customer with a completely worry-free measuring parameter: The sensors are not purchased, instead a customer subscribes to a measuring parameter for an annual fixed amount, without any additional costs for maintenance. The included sensors are proactively replaced by Hamilton Service every year. The exchange happens after consultation with the customer and via mail. The factory serviced and calibrated sensor will be sent to the customer prior to the replacement date. In addition, the customer has access to our technical support at any time. In comparison to the classic purchase of measuring technology, there are no high initial investment costs nor annual expenses for wear and labor, which are difficult to forecast. This enables flexible and affordable access to the latest measurement technology.

Next, we would like to introduce you to Weldebräu GmbH & Co. KG from Schwetzingen.

Weldebräu GmbH & Co. KG

Weldebräu was founded in 1752 in the tranquil town of Schwetzingen. The traditional family brewery has always focused on the highest beer quality and taste. Since the 1970s, beer has been produced in the new brewery (Plankstadt), producing around 100,000 hectoliters a year under its own brand Kurpfalzbräu.

 

What sets Weldebräu GmbH & Co. KG apart?

We have been Slow Brewing certified for several years. Our outstanding beer quality has also been rewarded several times in recent years at the World Beer Award / European Beer Star.

 

Why OnDemand?

When evaluating the offer, the advantages of an annual sensor replacement were particularly interesting. With the subscription model, the customer can be sure that the sensor used is always working correctly and that the measured values are therefore always highly accurate. In addition, there is no downtime due to calibration. This enables the brewery to guarantee consistent beer quality at all times. They advise potential customers to take a closer look at the subject and rethink any prejudices they may have about leasing. For Weldebräu, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and they are happy to be an on-demand customer of Hamilton.

The annual sensor replacement is perceived as uncomplicated and represents a major win for them. Hamilton is a responsive partner that can always be relied on. This is why Weldebräu would choose OnDemand again in a heartbeat.
