Brewing…On A College Campus?
In April 2018, Colorado State University (CSU), with support from both the university and industry companies like Malisko, opened a new hands-on brewing lab and industry showcase that will give students practical experience for careers in the brewing and fermentation industries. The lab is part of CSU’s state-of-the-art Fermentation Science and Technology (FST) program.
Automated brewing processes and precise control technologies to maintain product consistency and quality, while satisfying the discerning palates of the consumer base is nothing new to large multi-national and regional breweries. Today, smaller craft brewers are increasingly investing in these technologies for the same reason. Check out this video created by Colorado State University, featuring Malisko’s Dan Malyszko, that highlights the collaboration between industry and education to bring this state of the art brewery to campus.
A Major Donor to the Project
We have learned over the years that giving back to the community is a great source of inspiration and motivation for our team members. By combining our spirit of volunteerism, specialized skills, and economic resources, we knew we could be an asset to CSU students to set up the automation “brains” of the Lory Student Center and Gifford breweries. The students’ work is all part of a senior design project called “Brewery Design and Automation” sponsored by Malisko Engineering.
Our Approach
No two plants are the same. No two production processes are either. We deliver an automated production process that works for you. And it will work as perfectly as physically possible. Whether you’ve already implemented some automation, just finished an OEE review, or are starting from the beginning, we’ll provide the service you need. We can provide a business justification for process automation, design your automated system, or implement a system that’s already been designed. We can do it all and jump in at any point during the process.
Our approach to process engineering and automation has delivered results for over 20 years. It has allowed us to provide our clients with consistent, efficient production, and measurable ROI. How do we do it?
Site Assessment
Our site assessment follows a tried and true process and is the first step in implementing an automation solution. During each site assessment, we will :
- Identify Existing Automation Controls
- Identify Potential Cost-Saving Solutions
- Identify Opportunities
- Business Justification
- Presenting Automation Solutions

Front-End Engineering Design (FEED)
Our Front End Engineering Design (FEED) sets the foundation for a successful project accomplished on time, on budget and in a way that fits your in-house team.
If the needs of your business, plant, and production line change over time, our systems come ready to change along with them. And if you need, we’ll even tweak the system design to fit the skill sets of your support team. We believe the best systems change for you. It shouldn’t be the other way around.
Once the FEED is completed, you will receive:

Detailed Engineering and Design
Malisko both designs your automation system and implements it. Our detailed engineering and design service picks up right after our FEED services leave off, and our system integration execution pick up right after our detailed engineering and design. We can handle the complete package: specification, design, procurement, development, on-site execution, troubleshooting and support of the control, network, security and MES layers.
During this phase we can provide you with:
- Drawing Packages
- Documentation
- Hardware & Software Specification
- Industrial IT Infrastructure Design

Project Execution
We design your system on a foundation of understanding so that we can rapidly implement it with absolute precision. We program each function in your system and set up an intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) and reporting that allows your team to adopt your system efficiently. We outfit your system with the reporting you need to stay on top of your production. Prior to installation, we run your system through several rounds of intensive testing in a simulated environment to make sure it works. Once we have programmed your machines, set up your HMI, created a useful reporting program and tested the functionality and performance of your system, it is time to install your system in your facility. When on-site system installation is complete our Team again extensively tests the operation, performance and functionality of the new system holistically from the field devices through to reporting.
During this phase we can provide you with:
- Programming & Logic Development
- Human Machine Interface (HMI) Development
- Reporting
- System Integration Testing & Simulation
- On-Site Process Commissioning
