Wine & Spirits

From product development to customer experience

Storage and aging of brandies, and the blending and development of fine wines, are processes that require time and patience.

Managing your barrels

In the context of numerous constraints (darkness, humidity, ATEX environment, etc.), the identification and traceability of contents is a major factor both for the cellar keeper and for the management controller. Compared to standard identification systems, RFID technology makes it possible to overcome these constraints and ensures reliable and sustainable identification of barrels.

As a specialist in RFID technologies, Storkcom has designed and developed a complete digitalization solution for cask management. This management is based on a unique identifier assigned to each barrel; this solution makes it possible to manage the entire life cycle of the moving barrels, from receipt of new barrels to the following of barrel-making operations. Having the history of each barrel available, as well as the visibility of all movements involved, is a powerful tool for managers and is consequently a time-saver for cellar operators, especially during inventory.

Ensuring traceability and bottle authentication

However, RFID is not limited to management of containers; today it can be used to identify each bottle individually.
For household consumers, the objective is a multi-faceted one. RFID makes it possible to propose a unique customer experience to their consumers though a bottle that has been registered, and has a direct connection with the final consumer, as well as being able to manage the distribution network in an international context.
Storkcom has combined their mastery of RFID technologies with their expertise in the integration of production lines, making it possible to industrialize these solutions today.
Through the integration of an NFC tag directly into the cork or the casing, Storkcom can thus associate the traceability data of each bottle in rhythm with the bottling line. In this way, each product can be connected and identified individually, for optimized traceability. Most importantly, Storkcom can offer systems for automated bottle/case assignments, to make it possible to mass-detect and assign all the bottles in a case, and to enjoy increased traceability over the entire supply chain.

Automated management of logistic flows

In addition to a connected bottle, by combining the advantages of RFID technologies for authentication and logistics, Storkcom makes it possible for you to go even further with a connected case for flow mastery over your entire distribution network.
