Additional savings and benefits

Quality Control

  • In an industry with so many environmental challenges, with down-stream effects on the quality of our grapes; the profitability of our business; and the rate of harvest vs resource optimisation...as the saying goes: "it is better to focus on the things we can control".

    Winely provides intelligence and control to winemakers, never experienced before. Through biological data, not only will it be possible to control and optimise your ferments today, but also to control and optimise your ferments of tomorrow.

    With precision, winemakers are supported by continual data feedback. Providing winemakers will the tools to design and create with consistent quality; despite fruit quality or external environmental variances. Through Winely's fermentation kinetic data, winemakers will learn from comparative yeast systems, sugar levels, varietal parameters, pumpovers and more. Delivering optimal control and quality, each and every time. Which could be the difference between a $10 bottle of wine and a $100 bottle of wine.

    With Winely your data becomes a living legacy, to learn and grow from. And to future proof you against the unknowns.

Waste Reduction

  • When faced with a problematic ferment, a 30,000L tank often requires intervention to the tune of $1k+ in additives.

    With real-time date means better control and predictability. Reducing Interventions

  • Manual sampling of juice, 1-3 times per day, over a 5 - 21 day ferment results in significant juice wastage. When fruit might be at a premium, due to uncontrollable environment, there is no need to be losing this value from your financial bottom line.

  • The cost of electricity has increased over the last year and will continue to increase. Energy is at a crisis point and a huge cost to our businesses. Running cooling and heating systems with optimal precision will be key to reducing costs. Using Winely will mean you are heating and cooling exactly when you need to.

Resource Utilization

  • It takes approximately 20 minutes to take a manual sample and analyse it. Which means that your team are spending anywhere between 2 - 21 hrs, per fermentation (depending of daily runs and number of days within a ferment).

    This equates to $62 - $651 of resourcing power, which could and should be redeployed to more meaningful and valuable work.

    Sampling is not only a rote task, which adds pressure and physical stress to each employee. It is also a task effected by cross-contamination and human error. This is a task that can and should be removed by technology.

Health and Safety

  • Within wineries there are Health and Safety hazards which come with the daily manual sample process. Extreme heights, precarious structures, trip hazards, sleep deprivation and extreme weather events.

    By drastically reducing the need to manually sample tanks everyday, you are drastically reducing staff health and safety risks.

    Moving towards the goal of zero critical injury or fatalities.

Tank Optimization

  • Troublesome ferments affect tank optimization. Gone are the days of the grapes sitting on the back of a truck waiting for a nominated tank to come available.

    With Winely we give you biological vision, so that you can see the trouble before it reaches you. Ultimately preventing sluggish or too-quick ferments. Resulting in highly-optimized tank utilisation.

  • Due to manual sampling practices, and uncertainties around when a fermentation has truly finished. We know that juice will often sit in a tank for up to 3 days longer than required.

    Winely gives certainty to when each ferment has finished. And with the predictive modelling, can even tell you days in advance, as to when it will finish. Providing for greater planning for not only your tanks, but also for staff rostering.
