For Packaging

Diam Closures

Sensors and software can analyze and process data collected to evaluate the performance of filling and capping devices and detect the causes of problems during the filling process.

Antares’ inspection systems can handle products on traditional conveyor systems including sliding plate systems for complex product handling.

At Unified, the CEO of Diam Bouchage announced improvements to the Diam Technological corks distributed by G3 Enterprises in North America. All Diam corks have defined oxygen ingress rates (OIR) and oxygen transfer rates (OTR). An ingress rate is the amount of oxygen coming from the stopper into the wine at packaging, and the transfer rate is the oxygen passing through the stopper to the wine inside.

Diam closures are now available with differing OTR, in combination with the average length of time the closure can maintain a tight seal, which varies from two to 30 years. This new flexibility allows a producer to bottle wines that are early release with a higher OTR than a second release of the same wine packaged with a lower OTR. Each of these can be coupled with the expected life of a closure.

Crafted ERP added a sustainability module to its winery/vineyard data management program to track a wide variety of energy, waste, transportation, consumables, or production materials in one dashboard.

packaging items, from kegs to pouches and everything in between (column 2, orange block, Type of Container). From that list, the user can select the testing procedure they desire to control (column 3, Control Level), and a tree of options will open for the type of test or analysis desired (column 4). If, for example, you are monitoring your glass packaging, there are choices, from empty bottle inspection, closure inspection, labels, weight and many more. Each selection includes several items that will help you focus on what you may want to analyze for your packaging needs.

For Data Management

Crafted Erp

This winery/vineyard data management program has added a sustainability module to their offering which will make it easier for wineries and vineyards to keep track of production actions with an eye toward sustainability. Once set up, the dashboard shows how every action that a winery and/or vineyard takes impacts the overall energy balance and carbon footprint of the operation, how sustainable the organization is currently and the direction it appears to be going. The dashboard summarizes actions, both in terms of absolute quantity of a part of production, such as electricity or waste composting, but also adds the cost of those actions, either up or down, on a monthly basis.

AGROLOGY/PROCESS2WINE

Diam Closures has technical corks that are appropriate for wines with useful life ranges of 2 to 30 years, with multiple OTRs available for each level.

Ft System Na

FT System offers a number of analyses, solutions and services to resolve packaging issues and has developed a helpful diagram to determine which best suits the client. On the company’s website, one can select the wine and spirits industry (left orange block in the Product Category) then a drop-down list of

Agrology is a predictive technology that enables growers to receive valuable insights that will help them take action to preserve their crops. When Agrology is integrated into the Process2Wine Predictive Agriculture platform, the data can provide real-time insights into management of the condition of the soil and canopy. Vineyard managers will receive work order suggestions that will allow them to track incidents through completion. The result for their vineyard is valuable data. Agrology data, combined with Process2Wine information from the vineyard, wine production and packaging, are a powerful addition to the Process2Wine platform.

The Agrology Platform has an easy-to-use link to the Process2Wine Predictive Agriculture platform that will help growers with water, irrigation, pest prevention, spraying, soil, smoke taint and extreme weather. Agrology also offers technology for soil carbon sequestration validation and greenhouse gas monitoring, based on its proprietary technology that leverages machine learning, IoT and extensive ground-truth data.
