Mahou San Miguel
Smart Wi-Fi powers brewing innovation at scale
Wi-Fi that performs under pressure
Mahou San Miguel, a leader in the Spanish beer sector with over 135 years of brewing expertise, is embracing digital transformation with support from RUCKUS and long-time partner Seyrcom.
With operations spanning 70+ countries and 11 brewing centers across Spain and the U.S., the company needed a network infrastructure that could scale efficiently, perform under pressure, and simplify management across sites.
An entire network on one platform
The transformation began with the deployment of connectivity to support autonomous vehicles—an area that demanded high reliability—and quickly expanded to facilities across Spain. Today, RUCKUS indoor and outdoor access points, powered by BeamFlex+® and ChannelFly®, ensure resilient, high-performance connectivity even in challenging environments filled with metal structures and wireless interference.
By deploying RUCKUS AI™ and Virtual SmartZone™, Mahou San Miguel now oversees its entire network from one unified platform, anticipating issues, automating routine tasks, and unlocking new levels of operational efficiency. From traceability and automation to sustainability and scalability, Mahou San Miguel is setting the standard for brewing in the Industry 4.0 era.
