Case Study: Supply Chain

Brewery Supply Chain - AI Demo

Brewery Supply Chain Model

Transparency in Supply Chain Through AI

What if you could track every step of your supply chain—from ingredient to finished product? What if you could instantly understand how changes at one supplier affect your entire production line?

Meet Our Supply Chain Ontology

We’ve built a supply chain ontology for a brewery and transformed it into an intelligent knowledge graph. Explore how products, raw materials, manufacturers, wholesalers, and production batches are interconnected.

Try It Yourself

Ask our AI anything about the supply chain, explore product relationships, or trace product origins. Experience how complex supply chain structures become transparent through conversational AI.

Example Questions:

  • Which products are manufactured by which producers?
  • Show me all product instances and their expiration dates
  • Which wholesalers stock which products?
  • How are the bills of materials structured for our products?
  • Which batches were produced when?
  • Trace the supply chain for “Elbe Hell”

Tip: Use the suggested prompts shown in the chat assistant to get inspired and start your exploration.

Why This Demo Matters

This interactive demo shows how an intelligent knowledge graph can:

  • ✅ Create complete transparency across the entire supply chain
  • ✅ Enable traceability of products to their origins
  • ✅ Reveal relationships between products, manufacturers, and distributors
  • ✅ Make batches and expiration dates trackable for quality management
  • ✅ Identify optimization opportunities in the supply chain

From Demo to Practice

Supply chain management is complex. Our knowledge graph approach makes it:

  • Transparent - See all connections at a glance
  • Interactive - Ask questions in natural language
  • Current - Query data in real-time
  • Integrated - All information in one place

Ready for Your Own Supply Chain?

The brewery demo shows how powerful knowledge graphs can be for supply chain management. Imagine having this level of transparency for your own supply chain.
