Beverage Manufacturing Automation

For Small to Industrial Scale Producers

VinWizard Logo

The VinWizard system is internationally recognized as the proven leader in winery automation, monitoring and control. For over 20 years we have worked with winemakers around the world in the development of this renowned system to help winemakers consistently make premium wine and minimize running costs.

Our technology allows users to easily and affordably interface to any winery component. This allows the winemaker to view and/or control all aspects of the operation from any location via one interface. This includes pumpover, stirrer, crusher pad, humidity, CO2, water usage, must lines, plant rooms, production database, etc. These can be added to the core temperature control module as desired.

Power Savings

To maximize refrigeration efficiency, the use of your plant should be dictated by what wine is in a tank and what status that wine is at. VinWizard introduces a series of new initiatives to slash power consumption through a more intelligent use of resources.

Advantages of VinWizard over SCADA

  1. We have a unique look and feel unlike SCADA which looks the same no matter which you pick.

  2. VinWizard does not have any limitations. We can do what we like with it. All SCADA systems have limitations.

  3. VinWizard works out of the box with no development time needed whereas with SCADA, there is always considerable development time.

  4. VinWizard offers many capabilities and beverage production specific features the end user may not have previously thought of so they won’t know to ask for or what they are missing by choosing a SCADA platform.

  5. For most clients, no development of custom modules is required but they can be added if the client requests them. This can be very costly with SCADA.

  6. VinWizard has no end of life. is We still support our oldest systems.

  7. With SCADA you pay for how many tags you require and how many users. With VinWizard there are no costs for tags or users.

  8. With VinWizard, the user is in control of their own destiny unlike with SCADA where the supplier controls the outcome.

VinWizard has developed and distributes its own winery automation technology which capitalizes on modern computer programming capabilities and control electronics while the competition relies on dated and expensive technology. By implementing VinWizard, wineries can bring their cellars to the technological forefront while saving money and making better wine.
