DISCOVER TAG-SENSE: OUR LATEST INNOVATION for wine & champagne
Smart tagging for wine: Environmental monitoring from vineyard to supply chain
At CONNECTEDFUTURE, we understand that wine is more than a product—it's an investment, a craft, and often, a legacy.
That’s why we developed Tag-Sense, a sensor-based tracking solution designed specifically to help wine producers, distributors, and collectors protect the integrity of every bottle. From production to final delivery, our technology ensures optimal conditions through intelligent monitoring of environmental data.
In this article, we explain how our smart tagging technology works and transforms the wine industry—reducing losses, enhancing quality assurance, and adding a layer of transparency across the entire supply chain.
Smart Tagging for Wine: Environmental Monitoring from Vineyard to Supply Chain
In the wine industry, precision and timing are everything. From fermentation conditions to transport logistics, even small deviations in temperature, humidity, or handling can compromise quality and shelf life. As the demand for traceability and sustainability grows, advanced sensor technologies like Tag-Sense our digital tag are becoming essential tools across the wine value chain.
Detecting Impacts to Prevent Product Loss
Delicate products like premium wines are highly sensitive to impact during transport or handling. Tag-Sense uses acceleration sensors to detect sudden shocks or drops. Real-time alerts allow distributors, retailers, and logistics partners to identify at-risk shipments and intervene before the product is compromised—avoiding customer complaints and costly returns.
Enhancing Storage Precision for Optimal Aging
Storage conditions directly affect wine aging, taste, and chemical stability. With continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity, our digital tag ensures that each bottle is maintained under optimal conditions. This is especially valuable for restaurants, wine cellars, and bonded warehouses that need to demonstrate quality assurance to clients and auditors alike.
Optimizing Wine Logistics and Supply Chain Performance
We provide real-time location, temperature, and impact tracking. This gives greater visibility across the wine supply chain. Producers and distributors can quickly identify issues during transit—whether it's a delayed shipment stuck in extreme heat or a crate exposed to mechanical stress—ensuring proactive handling, reducing spoilage, and optimising logistics workflows.
Enabling Environmental Monitoring at Scale
Beyond wine, the same sensor infrastructure supports environmental monitoring across broader use cases. Conservationists and agricultural researchers can deploy our digital tags to collect data in natural habitats, forests, or outdoor vineyards, helping detect climate shifts or microclimatic changes that may affect harvest cycles and ecosystem health.
Data-Driven Quality Assurance in Winemaking
We enable wineries to build comprehensive environmental logs, capturing key parameters during fermentation, bottling, storage, and distribution. This data not only supports quality control and regulatory compliance but can also feed into AI-driven analytics for future yield prediction, risk management, and process optimization.
Delivering End-to-End Transparency
With its scalable and low-power architecture, our digital tags can be deployed at various points of the wine journey—from individual barrels and cases to full shipping containers. The result is an end-to-end data layer that ensures traceability, product integrity, and customer satisfaction in a competitive and climate-sensitive market.
BRIDGING PHYSICAL BOTTLES WITH DIGITAL OWNERSHIP
But that’s not all. Tag-Sense also links each bottle to its rightful owner and essential product information—instantly accessible with just a smartphone. Every tag is connected to a unique wine NFT on the blockchain, enabling secure proof of ownership, origin, and authenticity. Whether you're a collector, investor, or sommelier, this digital identity travels with the bottle—bringing transparency and trust to every glass.
As the wine industry embraces smarter systems and sustainability mandates, environmental data is no longer a nice-to-have—it's a competitive advantage for our clients. With our solutions, producers and supply chain actors can protect product value, build trust, and unlock deeper operational insights safely.
