Tennessee's whiskey industry produces over $4 billion in annual economic impact, with iconic brands like Jack Daniel's and George Dickel leading production. Distillery operations involve precise timing across mashing, fermentation, distillation, and barrel filling—processes where equipment reliability directly impacts product quality and consistency. AI scheduling helps Tennessee distilleries maintain the production cadence critical to meeting surging global demand.
