Wine excellence deserves protection and management that lives up to its value.
In the world of luxury wines, every bottle tells a story: the care of the vineyard, the art of the master cellarman, and the prestige of a label. But the story of these bottles doesn’t end in the cellar. Their traceability and safety during transport, storage and retailing are now a crucial challenge for manufacturers and distributors.
Traditional manual inventory solutions, often pen-and-paper, are outdated, slow, and error-prone. Losing a valuable bottle or failing to trace its path is no longer permissible.
RFID Technology: The New Frontier for Wine
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is revolutionizing the way companies manage their goods. Applied to wine bottles, it offers a qualitative leap in efficiency and control.
Imagine a system in which every single bottle, from the moment it leaves the cellar until it is purchased by the end customer, is uniquely identified in real time. This is what UHF RFID technology makes possible.
The Indevo Solution for Luxury Wine
Indevo, a company specializing in RFID solutions, offers a comprehensive ecosystem to meet the specific needs of the luxury wine sector. Our customizable and scalable solutions allow you to track bottles and protect them from theft at every stage of their life cycle.
Here’s how our products meet these needs:
- Smart Labels: The First Step
It all starts with our RFID-tagged ABS labels, designed to be applied directly to the neck of the bottle. This solution is designed to be discreet and not interfere with the aesthetics of the main label, preserving the elegant image of the wine.
Each label becomes the unique digital identity of the product, allowing you to track the bottle at every stage of its life cycle, from the cellar to the point of sale.
- Antennas and Gates: For Traceability in Logistics
RFID antennas and gates are essential for monitoring bottle movement in environments such as warehouses and shipping points. These systems allow for massive and automatic reading of labels placed on bottle necks as pallets or cartons pass through the gaps, updating inventory in real time.
Indevo offers several solutions for logistics:
- UHF gates: Robust structures for identifying goods in transit through gates, even in complex reading situations.
- Long-Range Antennas: Ideal for remote reading, like our 9dbi antennas that ensure wide and reliable coverage.
- Anti-shoplifting: Dual Technology for Retail Security
The protection of fine wines at points of sale requires security at 360°. Our anti-theft gates are designed to meet this challenge with cutting-edge technologies.
We offer two main solutions, customizable for every need:
- UHF RFID Anti-Theft Gate: They use UHF technology for mass reading and advanced traceability, identifying bottles in milliseconds and reducing false alarms. Their discretion allows them to integrate seamlessly into any retail environment.
- Dual Technology Anti-theft Gate (UHF/AM): This is the most advanced and complete solution. It combines the power of UHF for identification and traceability with the reliability of Acoustic Magnetic (AM) technology for false alarm-proof anti-theft security, even on critical products such as metals and liquids.
The advantages of this dual technology are:
- Total Protection: AM ensures the detection of every single item, even if hidden.
- Extreme Reliability: Almost zero false alarms, improving the customer experience.
- Intelligent Management: A single UHF tag can be used for both security (in combination with an AM hard tag) and logistics traceability and inventories.
