Unlocking savings: How PLAATO Insights supports industrial beverage producers

Through one small device, PLAATO Insights collects all your data across your entire production site. It then analyzes it and enables you to spot bottlenecks, identify equipment issues, meet sales demands, and more: 24/7, 365 days a year. With all your data visible on mobile, web, and more.

All your winery production data in one place

Common wine production pain points

Winemaking can come with many pain points, from inconsistent quality to high energy costs from inefficient temperature control. Each pain point faced can lead to high costs, batch delays, and inconsistencies. However, with PLAATO’s wine management software, you can see and prevent issues in real time. Here’s where we can help.

Winery technical requirements

If your winery has a PLC system, the PLAATO Edge gateway can be installed to collect data and transmit it directly to the PLAATO Insights platform. This ensures all your data is in one place.

PLAATO can be implemented in wineries using the same hardware and software setup as breweries. Our Pro Sensors monitor fermentation by tracking key metrics, and are compatible with standard fermentation tanks.

Benefits of PLAATO’s winery management software

With PLAATO’s winery software, you can experience a host of benefits when it comes to the production of your wine, including product quality and the efficiency of your operations.

  • PLAATO’s winery management system can help you optimise processes like fermentation time and cooling, so you reduce idle time and waste. It also speeds up the process by taking over many manual tasks, which not only reduces labour time but also reduces the risk of human error.

    “The inactive fermentation notifications have been a huge saving in money for yeast and time.”
    Beer Tree Brew Co: Matthew Pullen

  • Our software eliminates many manual tasks like temperature and density readings, fermentation progress, and much more, which frees up staff for higher-value work. It also allows winemakers to spot deviations and make adjustments immediately. PLAATO’s software has the power to significantly save time, with Tim Bloomer from Fell Brewery stating that “Tank residency time has been reduced by around one day per batch on average.”

  • With continuous monitoring, you can catch any issues early to ensure consistent quality. And with our recipe management solution, you can benchmark ‘golden batches’ to compare and recreate in future. 

    “Taking the right actions at the right time means we can guarantee quality and consistency.”
    Cheboygan Brewing: Joshua Schiefer

  • PLAATO’s software supports your business as it grows. You can easily add new tanks or product lines, and it also integrates with systems and sensors, so you don’t need to rebuild anything.

  • PLAATO takes the guesswork out of winemaking, so vineyard managers, cellar managers,  and winemakers can use data to make informed decisions, such as when to cool and when to start maturation, etc.

  • PLAATO brings all your data into one place and enables real-time as well as historical data so you can track trends, compare batches, and see how you can make improvements. It’s also perfect for cross-team visibility, so everyone works off the same data, no matter which area they’re involved in.

  • PLAATOs winery software seamlessly integrates with ERP systems using our API framework. This means you can connect to any data management system with custom integrations developed if needed. 

    Winery ERP Integration Steps

    1. Verify the winery’s existing ERP or data infrastructure.

    2. Assess API compatibility for integration.

    3. Work with PLAATO to configure the API connection.

    We ensure a fully flexible approach when it comes to winery software integration so that all production data is centralised using PLAATO Insights.

What customers are saying about PLAATO

"I knew what to expect from the PLAATO PRO but I'm still more than impressed by the ease of use. We still have a somewhat analogue cooling method but I managed to get the second batch exactly where I wanted it- admittedly I should have put more sugars into that ferment as it finished a day earlier
