MIWE smart baking suite
Connectivity par excellence
Successful digitalisation in branch operations
What if you could identify quality deficiencies in the branches at an early stage? What if you could transfer seasonal baking programmes from the head office to the stores with just one click? And how would it be if data from all the in-store ovens were bundled in a central location in one overview and you had access to exact information for your planning at all times?
That would be fantastic. And this is no longer a dream of the future. The MIWE smart baking suite (MIWE sbs for short), a management software for optimising all process sequences related to baking, visualises all data in a central dashboard. All processes on the systems can be monitored centrally, and baking chambers can be easily programmed or deactivated for resource-saving work. And there's more: Intelligent tools process the data so that proactive measures as well as self-optimising functions can be systematically implemented.
The future of in-store baking is now. The MIWE smart baking suite is your gateway to this digital future.

What makes the MIWE smart baking suite so unique
Helps you save energy
The MIWE sbs:energiemonitor – your new, highly informative energy tool.
An energy monitor is a welcome addition in times of scarce and increasingly costly energy on the market. Our sbs:energiemonitor not only summarises the actual energy consumption of a baking oven, but also breaks it down in detail. For example, according to different operating states.
In a clear dashboard with various panels, these are displayed graphically and numerically and evaluated directly. How long did the baking station bake for? How long did it take to heat up? How long was it in MIWE Eco mode? How efficiently was the consumed energy used? With the key parameter "baking efficiency", you have important facts at your fingertips to make the right tweaks to optimise energy use.
The MIWE sbs:energiemonitor offers you:
- Real-time analysis of baking efficiency
- Overview of energy consumption and utilisation of the baking ovens, also compared across different time periods
- Control and optimisation options, for example by setting up blocking times
Online baking program manager
Your digital baking assistant: simple and efficient
The online baking programme manager is more than just a tool – it's your very own digital assistant that supports you in the efficiently creating and managing your baking programmes.
This tool, available in the MIWE smart baking suite, allows you to conveniently create and manage the ideal parameters for baking on your computer remotely. Depending on the oven model, you can create several baking phases, set the temperature for top and bottom heat (deck oven), determine the fan speed (convection oven), set the steam quantity, create heating intensities, set the baking time and much more.
Soon also available as a free version: Baking Programme Manager light.
Your advantages with the online baking programme manager:
- Create and manage baking programmes on your computer
- Fast and uncomplicated distribution of baking programmes to networked baking stations (via the cloud)
- Always up to date thanks to the online version
- Convenient option for testing and developing baking programmes
Optimising baking quality across every branch outlet
Correctly setting the equipment in the stores and providing support for employees on site are essential in achieving the desired high quality standards of the baked goods produced. The MIWE smart baking suite offers support here by first ensuring that the correct system configuration is always used. In addition, meaningful reports and key figures, documented freshness times, the control of limit values and the central management of settings on site ensure stable processes across all stores.
MIWE sbs creates:
- Standardisation for all processes across all connected branches
- Flexibility in product range adjustments and other changes
- Transparency about the daily use of equipment, any operating errors and misconfigurations
- High process reliability and optimised quality of the baked goods
Optimum support for the baking stations
With the MIWE smart baking suite software package, all baking stations can be controlled centrally. The baking station automatically transmits any errors and change notifications, and firmware updates can be installed on the baking stations in the stores with just a few clicks from the control centre. All operating data is brought together in one dashboard and ensures maximum transparency on operating hours and resource consumption. Thanks to direct access to baking programmes, settings and service codes, the MIWE sbs simply makes many trips from the central office to the individual stores redundant.
MIWE sbs provides:
- fast response times for seasonal products, malfunctions and product range changes
- fewer on-site appointments to adjust baking stations or assist staff with operations
- optimised planning of maintenance operations and breakdown prevention
Efficient operation
A user-friendly visualisation provides the user with an overview of all branches in a list or map view. The branch manager can call up a live view of the branch at the click of a button, obtaining an up-to-date status of all baking stations. Reports on utilisation and baking progress allow the use of the baking stations to be tracked precisely and for compliance with key figures to be monitored. A calendar function is available for easy pre-planning of auto-start times, cleaning times and blocked times.
Resource planning with MIWE sbs leads to:
- efficient deployment of staff in the stores
- efficient use of the baking stations
- energy saving through appropriate advanced planning
- better results in terms of availability, freshness and hygiene
